SNOW MAIDEN. A pure white inter¬ 
mediate which we introduced to Ameri¬ 
ca. Being bred in Canada, it is natur¬ 
ally a good doer in even the severest 
climates. Pure white in color, on 10" 
stems, its extreme floriferousness re¬ 
sults in a solid mass of bloom — re¬ 
sembling a drift of new snow — as 
fine a border planting as can be imag¬ 
ined. One of the very earliest. H. M., 
A. I. S., 1936..25c; 3 for 50c 
12 for $1.50; 25 for $2.50 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm 1938). (Wil¬ 
liam Carey Jones X seedling). Pro¬ 
nounced Snow-Kwal-Me. The Bruno 
blood of William Carey Jones carries 
on to give us a championship iris of 
leathery substance, and rich, smooth 
creamy coloring — and in a tall iris of 
excellent form and perfect branching. 
Rich, smooth cream to lightest yel¬ 
low, shading to lighter cream at the 
top-center of the falls. Our choice as 
easily the finest cream of its type; dis¬ 
tinct from William Carey Jones in its 
greatly improved form and its slightly 
warmer shade of cream. Distinct from 
Carved Ivory as it is taller and rich 
and smooth, while Carved Ivory is soft 
and frosty. 
One of the most valuable of all for 
garden use, as it acts as a relief be¬ 
tween the other iris colors

FAR WEST 
RADIANT 
SUNBURST 
SILENT WATERFALL (Essig 1936). 
A very large tall iris of unusual col¬ 
oring; standards white with distinct 
cast of blue, reminding one of the 
stream of a mountain waterfall, and 
falls creamy white, like the white spray 
drifting from the fall. Beard white. 
Finely formed and the blooms are as 
large as Easter Morn. Broad, domed 
standards, falls semiflaring. Stalks 
tall and ideally branched. Tested and 
found hardy under severe wintering. 
Late blooming. 40".$1.50 
SIR MICHAEL. Originally this iris 
sold for $50.00 per rhizome. At that 
time there were no blue bi-colored 
irises comparable to it. Like Frieda 
Mohr, Sir Michael still is in a class by 
itself, and still holds its popularity, 
and is one of our best sellers. The 
standards are a clear light blue, and 
falls a bright shade of violet blue. 
Large well formed blooms, nicely 
spaced on tall stems. Mid-season. 40". 
35c; 3 for 85c; 6 for $1.50 
SNOWFLURRY. See page 4. 
SNOW KING. A big pure white that is 
hardy everywhere. Large blooms per¬ 
fectly formed and carried on well 
branched tall stems. Grows especially 
well in the Mid-West and Eastern 
states. H. M., A. I. S., 1936. Mid¬ 
season. 36" .$1.00; 3 for $2.50
