ST. LOUIS. Glossy velvety purple, 
with harmonious beard and mellow, 
pleasing haft. Of fine oval form, it is 
a self in color, with an abimdance of 
fiowers and excellent stems. Introduced 
by Robert Schreiner in 1934, it is num¬ 
bered in his selection of “100 Super 
Iris.” 
SUNBURST (Mitchell 1937) Certainly 
a much desired iris, for it is of a new 
tone, and entirely distinct in form. The 
color is a deep rich yellow self, deeper 
than California Gold, but soft instead 
of bright, and yet a pure yellow. Good 
low branching, and has endured par¬ 
ticularly hard seasons and proved that 
it is not only perfectly hardy, but very 
vigorous in every case. Of entirely 
different parentage from any of the 
other new yellows, therefore complete¬ 
ly distinct. Mid-season. 42 in. $1.50 
SUNMIST (Nicholls 1932) M. 34 in. A 
blithe spirit in the garden; one of Col. 
Nicholls’ finest iris. A creamy white 
with a golden center. An iris of ex¬ 
traordinary substance, glittering and 
shimmering as if filled with congealed 
light. 50^ 
SUNOL (Mitchell 1933) M. 36 in. Glob¬ 
ular golden-bronze with a lilac blaze on 
the falls. Distinctive and fine. 50^ 
SUNTAN (Mitchell 1935) S. are deep 
glistening gold; F. are rich brown, the 
shade of a well tanned swimmer’s 
back; Orange beard. A brilliant stun¬ 
ning iris. 40 in. $1.00 
SUNNYMEADE (WiUiams 1939) Rich 
creamy yellow with golden yellow 
heart; tall and stately. $4.00 
SWEET ALIBI (C. G. White) This is a 
“fool-proof” iris. From all parts of the 
country come enthusiastic comments on 
its remarkably broad petals, its heavy 
substance, its freedom of bloom and, 
most of all, admiration for its enormous, 
sparkling, deep cream flowers. $1.00 
TALISMAN. 38 in. An enchanting de¬ 
lightfully fragrant iris of rich irides¬ 
cent golden yellow, flushed soft pink. 
Somewhat the colors of the Talisman 
rose. 25^ 
TAN BEAUTY. A good tan $2.00 
TAPESTRY. A subtle blend of mon¬ 
ster size, smoky mulberry in general 
color effect, with the center of the fall 
intensely colored, passing out to the 
smoky tones of the standards. This 
variety calls to mind Dr. Ayres’ famous 
“Persia,” but the dominant note is 
dull red instead of dull blue. Tapestry 
is a favorite of Mrs. Ayres, who ad¬ 
mired it especially as a cut flower in 
the house. 35 ^ 
TENAYA. 3 ft. Rich raisin-purple, with 
iridescent reflections. There is an un¬ 
usual analine-blue beard and a golden 
center that lights up the flower as 
though by a light. 50^ 
THAIS. 42 in. A most attractive soft 
rosy-mauve, general garden effect being 
a pleasing and unusual tone of pink. 
Large flowers of finest form. Awarded 
a Certificate of Merit in France. 35^ 
THE BLACK DOUGLAS. 36 in. An 
extra fine dark-colored 1934 blackish- 
violet introduction, with blue beard. 
50^ 
THEODOLINDA. 42 in. A “plicata” by 
Dr. Ayres that compares with San 
Francisco in size. White, with a but¬ 
tonhole stitching of clear blue. 50^^ 
THE GUARDSMAN. S. dull rosy color, 
F. deep crushed strawberry with a 
wide (quarter inch) edge of tan silk, 
not blending into the rest of the fall, 
but remaining like a silk band of trim¬ 
ming on a velvet gown. $35.00 
TIFFANY. The third member of the 
great Sass plicata trio, the others being 
Orloff and Siegfried. It is soft yellow in 
color, with stitchings of bronzy-pinkish- 
violet, if you can visualize such a com¬ 
bination! Less formal in appearance 
than Siegfried, and gives a yellow 
rather than a creamy tan garden effect. 
Stems three feet in height. $7.00 
TIGER-TIGER. A fine red iris from 
the Wareham collection. Very bright, 
and of good size and habit. Distinct 
from Dauntless, Rubeo, and the other 
reds. Brown standards, velvet red falls. 
Late. 24 in. 35^
