Sensarion (See page 20) 
Summer Tan —38 in. EARLY. GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY 
THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY IN 1936. A most exquisite Iris 
in an outstanding new color tone. This variety is especially well 
named, the standards being a delightful smooth, uniform “sum¬ 
mer-tan” coloring and the falls just slightly deeper. It is de¬ 
cidedly neither a yellow nor a brown, but is in my opinion the 
best of the tan blends and in fact entirely different from all 
others. One of the most distinctive of the new colors. 1.50 
Sunburst —42 in. A new Iris in a new deep rich yellow tone, 
deeper than California Cold, but soft instead of bright. An 
entirely different tone of yellow and therefore pronouncedly dis¬ 
tinctive. One of the best new yellows. 3.50 
Sungold —40 in. A new huge deep yellow of enormous size, per¬ 
fect form and heavy substance on tall stalks, flowering over an 
unusually long season.... 7.00 
Sunglow— 34 in. FRAGRANT. A most exquisite creamy-white 
Iris of perfect form, good size and waxlike substance, besides 
being a hardy robust grower, a prodigious bloomer and exquis¬ 
itely fragrant. Erect frilled standards and flaring falls are an 
added beauty. Unsurpassed as a fine garden mass. My own 
introduction .20 
Sunlight— ^36 in. One of our largest and finest soft yellows. Superb 
under artificial light and magnificent in the garden. Nothing 
more charming as a cut flower or for show purposes. Almost 
as large as the famous W. R. Dykes and a more robust grower, 
being hardy anywhere. A flower of superb form and poise. 35 
Sunol —42 in. EARLY. A magnificent new yellow Iris, almost as 
large and as tall as Happy Days, but with an attractive lavender 
flush at the centre of the falls, which adds greatly to the beauty 
of the flower. The flowers are of fine form and heavy sub¬ 
stance and freely produced. . 1.00 
Suntan —33 in.' HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. 
S—deep glistening gold; F—rich brown, the shade of a well 
tanned swimmer's back. A flower of great distinction and one 
of the finest as a garden clump. 1.50 
Super Ceddes —48 in. An improvement on Mary Ceddes, the orig¬ 
inator claiming that it is 12 inches taller and brighter than 
Mary Ceddes, in the same colors. Being introduced this 
year . 10.00 
Los Angeles (See page 13) 
Suzanne Woolfry —32 in. EARLY. PRONOUNCED VIOLET FRAG¬ 
RANCE. A beautiful flower of the most intense rich deep vel¬ 
vety pansy-violet coloring, as though cut from a piece of 
velvet .20 
Sweet Alibi —42 in. A very lovely soft cream of exquisite tone, 
with a smooth ivory finish, the standards being nicely ruffled 
and the falls having beautifully crimped edges. The flowers 
are of gigantic size, remarkable smoothness, perfect form and 
unusual refinement . 1.50 
Talisman— 38 in. DELIGHTFULLY FRAGRANT. GIVEN AN AWARD 
OF MERIT BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. THIS IRIS. 
WHICH SOLD IN 1932 FOR $25.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT. 
SHOULD BE IN EVERY CARDEN, AS IT IS IN THE EXACT 
COLORS OF THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS TALISMAN ROSE, a 
subtle blending of red, yellow, pink and chamois, with an elec¬ 
tric-blue flush down the centre of the petals. It is one of our 
most lovely Iris.20 
Tapestry —40 in. EARLY. This variety is one of my own personal 
favorites. It reminds one of the fine variety Persia, excepting 
that the dominant color tone is more of a Tapestry-red. A huge 
flower, with erect standards and straight hanging falls gives ideal 
garden effect. S—soft red-violet; F—deep, rich red-violet, with 
a border the color of the standards. A great beauty.20 
Ta-wa —24 in. VERY EARLY. A new very early flowering Sass 
introduction, with very large soft yellow flowers of excellent sub¬ 
stance. Fine for planting in front of the taller varieties.35 
Thais —42 in. EARLY. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. GIVEN AN 
AWARD OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH NATIONAL HORTICUL¬ 
TURAL SOCIETY. Huge flowers of perfect form in a most un¬ 
usual and attractive pink tone. One of the most gorgeous of 
our pink-toned Irises. I can furnish extra fine, large plants of 
this variety this season, at a very attractive price.20
