Over-the-Garden-Wall 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel. '32) Seeing is believing! Words fail to de¬ 
scribe this most unusual and yet most fascinating blend of colors — 
a soft blended variegata — or is it an amoena? The standards are 
straw colored vrith a glistening rose sheen and lavender edges; the 
unveined, reddish brown falls change miraculously to purple, edged 
again vrith lavender. The flowers of exceptional substance are 
carried on exceedingly fine stalks. 40". Late. A.M. '37. $.65 
SNOW BELLE (McKee '38) This belle of smooth whiteness is very 
large (5J^" x 6") and slightly ruffled, the substance of her broad 
well-domed standards and broad, flaring falls is very heavy. There 
is a thin lemon beard and a broad haft which is creamy near the 
beard, with faintest lemon venations. Eight or nine buds are held 
on a perfect stalk. Excellent growth, hardiness, flowering habit. 
Very fragrant. 38". Early. H.M. '37. $15.00 
SHINING WATERS (Essig. '33) A sky-blue iris of fine quality, 
whose petals ripple with each breeze of the garden. A.M. '35. $1.00 
SHIRVAN (Loom. '32) The brightest colors of a Shirvan rug in the 
shape of an iris in the outside living room. The standards are tan* 
yellow; the semi-flaring falls a rich red that glows as if afire. 33". 
$.50 
SIEGFRIED (H. Sass '36) Very large ruffled flowers of deep 
creamy yellow, stippled and dotted with purple. That's right —a 
yellow plicata. The standards are so closely dotted as to have a dusty 
effect; the falls are clear, except for the colored edges. The blooms 
have fine substance and are carried on 44" stems. "A real novelty." 
A.M. '38. $15.00 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig '32) DYKES’ MEDAL WINNER, 1935. 
Plant this iris in your garden and see the unsurpassed blues of the 
Sierras. The enormous flower is matchless in the clear, medium blue, 
deeper than Shining Waters. The widely flaring flowers have a re¬ 
fined finish and excellent substance. 40". $.85 
SIERRA SNOW (Klein. '38) At last, the Sierra Snow brings to us 
an improved. Hardy Purissima, just a faint shade warmer 
and clearer in its white tone. And much larger. 45". $15.00 
SILENT WATERFALL (Essig '36) This waterfall is silent, except 
when the iris enthusiast rants on. An unusually large white iris 
whose domed standards have a distinct blue cast, as of water coming 
over the falls. The broad, semi-flaring falls are creamy white, 50". 
Late. $2.00 
SINGING CANARY (Kin. '35) Not noisy — just a bright yellow, 
dusted with gold flakes, and a white area around the deep orange 
beard. 40". $.50 
SIR KNIGHT (Ash. '34) Has won the hearts of the Kelloggs as the 
best, richest blue-purple iris in the garden. It is very large, tall and 
stately; is richly colored dark blue-purple, which is even bluer just 
at dusk. The semi-flaring velvety falls are of unusually endurable 
substance. An excellent doer. 38". H.M. '36. $2.00 
SNOW KING (H. Sass '35) The king among snow-white irises, the 
king in your garden, kingly in stature, in bearing and in size. Flar¬ 
ing falls of faultless form. A.M. '37. $5.00 
SONG OF GOLD (Essig '37) Hearts young and old sing this Song 
of Gold, a very large clear warm yellow self, all dusted with gold, 
with flaring falls of Santa Barbara shape. A tone deeper than Happy 
Days, deepening at the haft, where the dust particles are piled up 
into veins. There's almost a hint of orange in the color, especially 
in the buds. Texture is firm and the stem is ideally branched. $6.00 
SORDELLO (Gage '38) A pinkish overtone covers this smooth 
deep olive-buff self; an iris of medium size and good sub¬ 
stance. 34". Late. $10.00 
SPARTACUS (Gage '36) This chap has an old gold head and 
shovdders with a violet-carmine cape, with brown venations and a 
golden-orange beard. 34". Late. $2.00 
SPOKAN (J. Sass '33) Old King Tut enlarged and improved in 
richness of color. These lustrous flowers have light reddish brown 
standards and a black-brown overlay on huge oxblood red falls. 
36". H.M. '36. $1.50 
SPRING CLOUD (lory '35) The clouds in the standards are so 
fleecy that a lot of the blue sky shows through. In the falls, the white 
clouds are thicker and the blue sky shows only at the edges. A par¬ 
ticularly fine large plicata with broad petals. 44". $.60 
SPRING PROM (D. Hall '38) Spring Prom time is a happy time, 
with many hopes and wishes fulfilled. The one we are ad¬ 
miring goes clad in a dainty frock of light primrose, tied 
with an orange sash. The cupped standards are sparkling, 
the flaring falls more smooth in tone. But lo! Instead of one, there 
are nine girls dressed in this same crisp, beautiful yellow material, 
stationed as if at measured places, and all the dancers are finely 
poised. The material in which they are dressed is so fine and costly, 
that it lasts through the entire Spring Prom without spotting, soiling 
or fading. 40". $10.00 
SIR LAUNCELOT (J. Sass '35) This challenges all golden brown 
iris in richness. Sir L. has hazel-brown standards and brilliant claret- 
brown falls, with orange beards on golden hafts. 32". H.M. '37. $1.50 
STANWIX (Hall '33) A gorgeous medium blue self, "dat will Stan- 
wix the best of 'em." It's large and slightly ruffled with broad seg¬ 
ments of heavy substance. 40". $.75 
SISTER (Sturt. '33) Come! Look! It's a light pink with a white over¬ 
lay. It's charming and graceful with its ruffled and wavy edges. The 
large flowers are on good stems. 40". $.65 
SUMMER CLOUD (Kirk. '34) Rare loveliness among the blue toned 
clouds. The standards are the palest blue to white and the falls are 
of crisp deep sky-blue, large and broad. 32". $.50 
SMOLDER (Nic. '37) A deep, deep purple self with a red under¬ 
glow. The standards are well domed; the velvety falls are carried 
out and down, gracefully. Late and tall. $7.50 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm '38) An iris of a rich, smooth creamy tone, 
shading to a lighter cream at the top-center of the falls. So 
help me, "Snow-Kwal-Me" is the finest cream of its time. A 
tall iris of excellent form and perfect branching.|[45". $10.00 
SUMMER TAN (Kirk. '34) “If I could have just one golden tan 
iris, I would choose Summer Tan" says Bill K. “It has a smoothness 
all its own — a smoothness of color, blending of soft-toned standards 
with deeper bronzed pink falls, giving a warm orange glow through¬ 
out; of all-over iridescence; of leathery texture; of fine size and pro¬ 
portion. I can't imagine these charming colors blended together any 
more exquisitely than the iris chromozones have done it in Summer 
Tan." 30". Early.‘H.M. '36. $1.00
