SHINING WATERS (Essig) 
A reflection of the clear blue western skies in still, shining 
waters. The best of the many smooth, clear blues obtained 
after years of progressive breeding along a particular line. 
The self color is about midway between the shades of the 
darker Sierra Blue and the lighter Pale Moonlight, yet it is 
really not a competitor of either. The firm, wax-like texture 
and perfect finish, symmetry, and poise of the falls and stan- 
dards are enhanced by a bright orange beard. The flowering 
stalks are straight, three to four-branched and from four to 
five feet tall. It combines a smoothness and finish that is un- 
surpassed, with the size and poise of Easter Morn. 
Shining Waters is now generally recognized as the finest 
iris of its color. We introduced this iris in 1933 and have 
the largest and finest stock in the entire country. Our plants 
will amaze you. Illustrated in color on page 17.

SIEGFRIED (H. Sass) 
A beautiful plicata having a deep creamy yellow back- 
ground dotted and stippled with brown-purple on both stan- 
dards and falls. This iris created quite a sensation when it was 
first introduced and stock is rather scarce. Flowers are large. 
3 feet. $2.50 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig) 
The 1935 winner of the coveted Dykes Gold Medal, the 
highest award that can be given to an iris. The large, well- 
tailored flowers are borne on tall, well-branched stalks. In 
color it is the blended blue which one sees when looking 
at distant mountains. The smooth petals are overlaid with a 
metallic sheen. The clearness of color, the smoothness of tex- 
ture, and the grace and poise with which the flowers carry 
themselves, combine to make Sierra Blue the Dykes Medal 
iris that it is. 41% feet. 
We are the original introducers of this iris, and are prepared 
to send you extra large, vigorous plants of superior quality. 
See illustration on page 21. 35c; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.00 
SITKA (Essig) 
A huge clear white of splendid form and substance. It is 
a prolific bloomer and is hardy throughout the country. This 
variety will be a welcome addition to your collection as it 
has a long blooming period and is later than the other large 
flowered whites. 4 feet. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees) 
Introduced by, thejSalbach Gardens and probably the most 
talked of iris in recent years. A rare find in the small garden 
of an amateur iris grower and if it continues to perform as it 
did last season, it will be a sensation. An enormous flower 
of pure ice white, very faintly fushed with blue. The striking 
feature is the frilling and ruffling of both standards and falls. 
This gives the effect of delicacy and ethereal charm which 
would hardly be expected in a giant flower of such heavy 
substance. 
A remarkably strong growing iris with heavy, luxuriant foliage. 
We have not as yet received any reports as to its hardiness in the 
colder climates. Early to midseason bloom. A cross of Purissima by 
Thais. 4 feet. $13.50 
SPANISH CAVALIER (Milliken) 
Gay Spanish colors of golden bronze for the standards, rich 
velvety wine red for the falls, and a bright orange for the beard, 
make this striking new iris a standout in the garden. A strong 4-foot 
stem carries the bold handsome flowers on well-spaced branches. 
The flowers themselves have the ever-popular semi-flaring shape 
and because of their unusual size, instantly catch the eye from a 
distance. Midseason blooming period and perfect hardiness. $4.00 
SPARKLING FROST (Milliken) 
As the name suggests, this iris glistens and sparkles in the sunlight 
as though sprinkled with a myriad of tiny jewels. The cool clean 
flowers of uniform blue-white have a fascination that is beyond 
description. They are of good size and are carried on 4-foot well- 
branched stems. 
The ice-blue effect of this new flower is something which we 
have found in no other iris, and makes this beautiful introduction 
entirely distinctive. 

SAN FRANCISCO 
Sparkling Frost is a very strong grower and will be an ideal iris 
for the milder climates. It is from a cross of Purissima and Easter Morn. 
An early bloomer. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SPOKAN UJ. Sass) 
A favorite in the copper tones of red with large flowers of smooth 
substantial texture carried on 3 foot stems. The standards are a 
glowing red-brown and the falls a similar but slightly deeper shade 
enriched by their velvety texture. In great demand. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SPRING DANCE (Milliken) 
This refreshingly beautiful iris is truly a song in the garden with 
its superb flowers carried high on giant four to five-foot stems. The 
color effect is a fresh uniform light lavender faintly suffused with 
golden yellow. An orange cond that deepens to a brilliant glow 
at the center of the flower gives a warmth to the yellow suffusion. 
Spring Dance is another iris particularly recommended for the 
milder climates, for it is a luxuriant grower and an early bloomer. 
Its hardiness is not as yet tested. $2.50 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland) 
Of rare coloring with its standards of light golden tan and its 
falls slightly darker flushed with olive and possessing a velvety finish 
You will be particularly pleased with the distinguished poise and 
trim neatness of this iris. Over 3 feet. 60c; 3 for $1.50
