SEDUCTION (Cayeux 1933) M. 40 in. A 
fascinating flower from France—still one 
of the best of the pink toned plicatas. It 
is of large, full form with a charming 
feathered and dotted pattern of pink to 
brownish lilac over creamy white. The 
substance is very heavy and the branch- 
ing good. The plants are hardy, bloom 
freely but are not very prolific. C. M.

SIEGFRIED (H. P. Sass 1936) L. 42 in. 
A large, ruffled flower of delicate color- 
ing and interesting plicata marking— 
brown on pale yellow, sanded and dotted 
as well as margined. This was the first 
of the large yellow plicatas and it still 
holds its own well in popularity in the 
garden and as a prize winner. The strong, 
hardy plants bloom freely. H. M. 1936,

SIGNAL FIRES (Egelberg 1939) M. L. 388 
in. An iris of unusual and very interest- 
ing coloring—smoke gray standards and 
wide, velvety red purple falls. When 
well grown it is a distinctive and beauti- 
ful iris in its rich, smoldering beauty. We 
do not agree with its 1940 rating of 80 
(5 judges) for here it is a most attractive 
garden subject, growing and blooming 
well, but blooming too late for many of 
our visitors to see. $3.50 
SMOLDER (Nicholls 1937) L. 46 in. A 
perfect self of very deep red purple with 
as glossy and polished a finish as one 
could wish. It blooms so late that few 
visitors see it at its best but those who 
wish to lengthen their home season with 
worthwhile irises should be sure to in- 
clude this one. The plants are not large 
but they are perfectly hardy and free 
flowering. Heavy grape fragrance. R. 
88, 1940. $2.00 
SNOWKING (H. P. Sass 1935) L. 40 in. 
A grand white iris that holds its own 
among allnewcomers. Tall, well branched, 
of noble proportions and very heavy sub- 
stance, it finishes ithe season with 
strength and beauty. A true white, neith- 
er blue nor creamy with a fine light yel- 
low beard. The plants are perfectly hardy 
and strong in growth here, with good in- 
crease. It is one of the three irises that 
have won a permanent rating of 93. Spec-

SPRING PROM (D. Hall-Whiting 1938) 
M. 45 in. A very popular and dependable 
light yellow iris. It is a pure primrose 
yellow self with a deep orange beard. Its 
large size, graceful form, excellent sub- 
stance, splendid height and w.de branch- 
ing all make it a valuable addition to any 
garden. It makes a fine show specimen, 
a good garden clump and a_ wonderful 
mass planting. It has a fragrance of 
sweet locust. The plants are especially 
vigorous—blooming and increasing very 
freely. H: M: 1937, Per  ResT,-193 9m $250 
SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck-Schreiner 1940) 
This gorgeous new yellow iris is one of 
the finest of recent introductions and we 
think it is very appropriately named. The 
color is very deep and pure—no kaft 
markings mar its smooth beauty, which is 
heightened by the orange beard. The 
form is wide and full, the standards well 
domed, the falls semi-flaring. The falls 
seem some darker than the standards but 
this may be due to a velvety finish. It 
is without doubt a magn.ficent iris. H. 
M. 1939, R. 92, 1940. $25.09 
SUNNYMEADE (Williams 1939) M. 86 in. 
This is a refined and lovely iris of un- 
usual style and charm. The flowers are 
of medium size, graceful form and appeal- 
ing color; creamy yellow with a deeper 
yellow center. Strong but thin stems, 
well branched, insure its graceful car- 
riage. Excellent in the garden and for 
cutting. $1.50 
SUNSET TAN (Egelberg 1940) M. 36 in. 
This fine new blend bloomed in our gar- 
den last spring and was much admired 
by our visitors and will be remembered 
by them as the smooth rosy tan seedling 
marked by its parentage (Dauntless x 
‘Red Copper’). It created much favorakte 
comment as it has excellent subsiance 
and smooth, warm, glowing color. It is 
a true self of soft fawn with a pale cop- 
per pink suffusion. It was listed by the 
orig.nator late last year. Not yet rated.

THELMA JEAN (A. E. Peck 1939) E. M. 
34 in. A bright, colorful iris that has be- 
come quite a favorite. It is a Self of pe- 
tunia violet or deep rosy lavender, a 
lovely warm shade not often found in iris. 
The flowers are gracefully formed, have 
heavy substance, pleasant fragrance, and 
are well carried on the stalk. Hardy, free 
flowering plants. H. M. 1939, Per. R. 86, 
1940. $7.50 
From California—I will surely tell all my iris buying friends about your fine roots 
and excellent values.

especially for the fine root of Spring Prom sent as an extra.
