ROSE DOMINION (Connell 1931) M. 38". 
An iris of marked individuality with rounded “half-

tone is augmented by a fine velvetiness of texture. Rose 
Dominion presents its blooms with an air of easy elegance 
on stems ideally branched. 60c 
ROSE PETAL (Murrell 1929) ML. 36". 
This provocatively trim iris of a fresh rose-petal pink

and free-blooming habits. 25c; 3 for 50c 
ROSY ASIA (Mitchell 1934) EM. 38". 
A large blend of the old Asia type but in the pink register 
instead of the blue. A very lovely new iris of subtle delicacy 
of coloring. 50c 
ROSY WINGS (Gage 1936) M. 38".

A well-groomed deep violet of fine height and especially 
lustrous texture. One of the most beautiful of the deep 
violets and one of the best in respect to general vigor and 
growing habits. Tall and finely branched. This variety 
ranks alongside Mrs. J. L. Gibson in quality. The beard is 
dusky orange. 75c; 3 for $2.00

Very large and arresting in the garden. 75c 
SAM DAVIS (Washington 1933) M. 38". 
Two years ago we were impressed by the performance of 
this variety in the originator’s garden at Nashville. The 
well-formed flowers of glowing red have domed standards

SANDALWOOD (H. Sass 1937) M. 34".

tined to be a popular iris. $15.00

A deep pink and yellow blend of sturdy habit. An at¬ 
tractive sort of considerable distinctiveness. $1.25 
SAN DIEGO (Mohr-Mitchell 1929) EM. 40". 
One of the finest medium-dark blues, standing in color 
halfway between such medium blues as Missouri and such 
deep blue-violets as Mrs. J. L. Gibson. A gigantic iris of 
heavy substance and fine flaring form Tall and vigorous. 
35c 
SAN FRANCISCO (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) ML. 38". 
A sister of Los Angeles with heavier marginings of blue 
on a white ground. This variety often carries several fine 
large blooms open at a time. One of the finest plicatas. 
30c 
SANTA BARBARA (Mohr-Mitcheli 1925) EM. 40". 
A slightly tender iris of bright lavender-blue color. Tall, 
flaring, and beautifully branched. 20c; 3 for 50c 
SEDUCTION (Cayeux 1933) M. 38".

SENSATION (Cayeux 1925) ML. 36". 
The cornflower-blue iris. This variety has petal substance 
which is stiff and leathery even to the touch. Renowned 
for its beauty and smartness of style, in which it is sur¬ 
passed only by such recent acquisitions as Missouri and 
Sierra Blue. 25c 
SERENITE (Cayeux 1931) ML. 38". 
This bewitching blend is a medley of blue and gold. Falls, 
wide and flaring, are a bright pastel blue with inlays and 
sparklings of pale crystalline yellow toward the golden- 
bearded haft. Standards are a shimmering silvery blue 
warming to a gleaming haze of platinum motes toward the 
margins. This never-to-be-forgotten iris has amazing sub¬ 
stance, fine size and height, and oddly crinkled petals. This 
variety has never received more than a fraction of the em¬ 
phasis it deserves because of the general scarcity of stock. 
75c 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932) L. 38". 
This unique new iris which Schreiner’s Iris Gardens have 
popularized in America has now become one of the dozen 
or so irises by whose presence the up-to-dateness of an iris 
collection is judged. In our estimation it is one of the most 
nearly indispensable of all irises. In color it is certainly the 
most sensational of all novelties. Named for that lavish 
emperor of India who ruled three centuries ago from the 
famous Peacock Throne, Shah Jehan is itself an extrava¬ 
ganza of color containing no less than seven distinctly
