PERSIA 
ROSY WINGS (Gage) 
Not yet having bloomed this newcomer to our garden, we can 
quote its description as follows: “Among the two or three top-most 
introductions seen for the first time last year. A blend of rose and 
copper, with excellent form, flaring falls, large size, and 40 inch 
stems. One of the few new colors developed in iris in recent 
years. 1939 Dykes Medal winner. $1.00 
ROYAL SALUTE (Milliken) 
This is quite distinct in form and color. It is one of the few good 
dark blue-purple irises. The petals, both standards and falls, are broad 
and as the flowers are on tall stems the beauty of the falls is easily 
seen. The main points of its excellence are that it has a tall well- 
branched stem so that the flowers are not crowded, and the flowers 
which have good substance seem to be the bluest of any of the 
so-called blue-purple irises. 31% feet. 
Writes an lowa grower: It is a splendid dark blue-purple iris of 
fine form, texture, height and very splendid branching. 
35c; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.00 
SACRAMENTO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
A giant plicata of the San Francisco type but having dots and 
reticulations of reddish brown instead of lavender. The ground 
color is creamy white. Flowers are large and well shaped on tall, 
well-branched stems. 40 inches. 35c; 3 for 75c

SAN DIEGO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
Immense blooms of deep velvety blue purple. It is a seedling of 
Gaudichau and El Capitan, retaining the color of the former and the 
size and shape of the latter. 46 inches. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SAN FRANCISCO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
Tall stems branching low and wide carry the large flowers of white 
distinctly edged with lavender blue. A superior variety. 44 inches. 
Slightly tender in regions of severe winters, so we suggest the 
beautiful Los Angeles, which is hardy, instead. Grows perfectly on 
the Pacific Coast and elsewhere where the winters are mild. Mid- 
season. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SAN GABRIEL (Dean) 
We consider this one of the finest irises in cultivation for the 
milder climates. While not recommended for the East, where its 
exceptionally early growth often gets caught in a late freeze, for 
Southern California gardens this iris is ideal. The large flowers are 
a lustrous lavender flushed with rosy mauve and have a decided and 
pleasing fragrance. 
San Gabriel comes into flower very early in the season, usually 
by the first of March, and continues blooming for many weeks. It is 
particularly vigorous and is the tallest iris we grow. We have 
actually measured stalks 6 feet high. The foliage is green and beau- 
tiful all year. 35c; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.00 
SEDUCTION (Cayeux) 
A beautiful plicata coming to us from France. The flower is of 
excellent form and substance. A pure waxy white, with standards 
finely veined pale lilac. The falls are dotted the same color on the 
haft and the beard is white, lightly tipped yellow. 3 feet. 75¢ 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel) 
Here is an iris that has all the rich colorings of a beautiful oriental 
rug. The standards are a delicate creamy buff faintly edged lavender. 
The falls are rich and lustrous, quickly blending from a light fawn 
at the haft through glowing copper and deep chestnut, to a deep 
velvety purple which is the predominating color. An edging of 
soft plum shading to light lavender completes the picture and makes 
Shah Jehan one of the most strikingly colored of all irises. Medium 
size flowers on 3-foot stems. 35c; 3 for 75c
