SHINING WATERS (Essig). Few iris come 
as near perfection as Shining Waters. 
Large, clear, light blue flowers, on a tall, 
perfectly-branched stem. AS many as 
twelve blooms on a single stalk. Vigorous 
grower and produces blooms in abun- 
dance. Good substance and stands up 
under adverse weather conditions. Needs 
some winter protection in extreme cold 
climate. Mid-season. 48”...35c; 3 for 90c 
SIEGFRIED (H. P. Sass). Not a perfect iris 
according to iris standards, but a very 
beautiful iris. Standards are a rich golden 
bronze and the rather long falls are white 
with purple stitching on the margins. Tall, 
rather high branched stems. Not a rapid 
multiplier. Mid-season. 40”. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig). A tall, deep blue 
self that is at the top in its color class. 
Winner of Dykes Medal—an honor which 
is well deserved. One of the tallest of all 
irises and yet it is so sturdy in growth 
that it stands up under wind and rain. 
Very vigorous and a producer of an abun- 
dance of blooms. Hardy everywhere. 
HALLVeDO- eee 35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.75 
SILENT WATERFALL (Essig). A very large 
tall iris of unusual coloring. Standards are 
white with distinct cast of blue, falls 
creamy white, white beard, stalks tall and 
ideally branched. Tested and found hardy 
where the winters are very severe. Late.

habits. One of the really good creams. 
Mid-season. 45”......... $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939). Early in 1939, 
Miss Rees, the originator of Snow Flurry, 
brought us two individual blooms that 
seemed to be as beautiful and perfect an 
iris as we have ever hoped to see. A few 
days later we saw a planting of Snow 
Flurry that was simply stunning. In this 
same garden were a number of the finer 
and newer varieties, such as Happy Days, 
California Gold, Purissima, and others, 
but none were so outstanding as Snow 
Flurry. The blooms were even larger than 
any of the others. Standards are pure icy 
white, beautifully ruffiled, and falls big, 
broad, and clear white. There is a faint 
cast of blue in both standards and falls, 
but it in no way detracts from the beauty 
of the flower. Buds show a definite cast 
of blue. The flower stalks are very tall and 
carry aS many as seventeen buds and 
flowers. The blooms are carried fairly 
high on the stems, but this adds to the 
striking boldness in the garden. At this 
writing, April 15th, Snow Flurry is in full 
bloom, and we are even more impressed 
with it than we were last season. Few, if 
any, iris are more deliciously scented. 
Early. 50”. Stock limited. 
$10.00; 3 for $27.50 

Mount Washington 
SNOW KING. A big pure white that is 
hardy everywhere. Large blooms perfectly 
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”..... 40c; 3 for $1.00 
SNOW MAIDEN. One of the very few really 
dwarf whites. Medium size, pure white 
on 10-inch stems. A Canadian introduc- 
tion that is hardy everywhere. Fine for 
borders or rock garden. Early. 
25e; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.75 
SONG OF GOLD (Essig). A large, clear 
yellow that compares favorably with the 
very best. Unlike many yellows, Song of 
Gold has heavy substance and flaring 
falls. The color is a clear yellow somewhat 
deeper than Happy Days enriched by a 
bright orange beard. Blooms delightfully 
scented. The flower stalks are tall and 
exceptionally well branched. Perfectly 
hardy. An eastern authority says: “An 
exceedingly good flaring yellow.” Mid- 
S@ason38 sc... Ge. cere $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
SOQUEL (Reinelt). (Wm. Mohr x Sunol.) 
An iris of the William Mohr type but a 
little lighter in color and much more vig- 
orous in growth. Big blooms of very heavy 
texture. Uniform color of medium dark 
violet, very heavily veined deeper color. 
Good growing habits, rapid increaser. 
Mid-season. 28”...:..... $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
SOUND MONEY. Very dwarf early clear 
yellow, in fact it is beginning to bloom 
now, March 24th. Fine for rock gardens 
or borders. 6” to 9”. 
25c; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.75 
SPRING CLOUD (Jory 1935). “A worthy 
companion to Los Angeles and San Fran- 
cisco,’ which has been described by one 
of the nation’s most capable iris critics 
as “stately and indispensable.” 
Standards heavily suffused blue on 
white, with falls clear white, except for 
a few inconspicuous blue markings. Hardy 
everywhere. Mid-season. 48”. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
SPRING DELIGHT (Salbach 1940). Not 
especially large, but a finely finished 
flower, with lots of life. Somewhat re- 
sembles Elsa Sass, but blooms a little 
larger. Standards bright deep yellow, falls 
yellow to ivory center, with heavy veining 
of olive brown on upper half. Well pro- 
portioned blooms, freely produced on 
low-branched stems. One of the bright 
spots of the garden. Late mid-season. 24”. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.50 
SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck 1940). An iris that 
has been rated very high, especially in 
Mid-west. Rich, deep velvety golden yel- 
low self of large size. Standards are well 
domed, falls are broad and heavy. Sturdy, 
well-branched stems. A well known Amer- 
ican iris authority says: “I am convinced 
that it is the best all-around yellow self 
so far introduced. Mid-season. 38”. $15.00 

Sierra Snow 
SIERRA SNOW (Kleinsorge). In our opin- 
ion Sierra Snow ranks with the very best 
whites. A variety of good size, perfect 
form, good well branched stems, is a fine 
performer everywhere, and being late to 
come into bloom helps to prolong the iris 
season. This fine white has not been 
widely distributed but is just now coming 
into its own. Bloomed beautifully in 
South Dakota. Late. 45” . .$2.00; 3 for $5.00
