ST. LOUIS (Wies. '33) If you are searching for an iris that is a deep

deeper gold edge. 33". Early. $5.00 
SANDALWOOD (H. Sass '37) As a wood, it comes from India; as 
an iris, it comes to us with vinaceous fawn standards and falls of 
army brown. A satiny texture adds beauty to this large, well-formed, 
well-carried bloom. 34". $2.00

y signals should be. Fine, everything. 38". $8.00 
SILENT WATERFALL (Essig '36) This large white iris has crinkles 
of light blue splashing like a waterfall through the standards, while

SEADEEP (Thole '37) All the blue from the depth of the sea is 
mingled in this exquisite two-toned blue iris. The standards are a

SIOUX CITY (Snyder '39) The even heliotrope color is smoothly 
and distinctly placed on this well proportioned flower and

sturdily supported during the midseason on 36 inch stalks. $10.00 
SIR KNIGHT (Ash. '34) "When Knighthood was in flower" we

purple standards with falls of the same color but darker, margined the 
lighter. Striking. 38". 35*

down, gracefully. Late and tall. $3.50 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm '38) An iris of a rich, smooth creamy tone,

form and perfect branching. 45". $5.00 
SNOW BELLE (McKee '38) A beautiful rapturous Belle of the Snows.
