THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 

SONATA (Williamson, 1929), 38 inches. A delicate and refined Iris 
with standards of deep olive buff; lilac falls, margined the 
color of the standards. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
SOUV. DE LOETITIA MICHAUD, 92-90 (Millet, 1923). The exceed- 
ingly high rating given to this variety shows the esteem in 
which it is held. The color is a lovely soft blue, and it is gen- 
erally considered the finest of this type. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
SPAHI (Vilm., 1925), 30 inches. Awarded a Certificate of Merit by 
the French National Horticultural Society. A very handsome 
free flowering French Novelty of unique coloring. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
STANLEY H. WHITE, 78-79 (Sturt., 1919), 36 inches. LATE. A very 
fine rich buttercup yellow of excellent form, the falls sparsely 
veined a beautiful shade of aster purple. Large flowers nicely 
spaced on tall erect stems. Of special value for mass or land- 
scape effect because the flowers all come up to about one level. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00 
STIPPLES (Essig, 1928), 30 inches. A most unusual and pleasing 
“plicata” of large size, perfect form, good substance and pro- 
nounced markings. The standards are bluish violet and the falls 
are white; both the standards and falis have prominent stippling 
of deep violet. It is a rugged variety, and very free ge

SUNSET, 83-82 (Denis, 1919), 36 inches. LATE. Given an Award of 
Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England under its 
former name of “Ocracea coerulea.” This is a most exquisite 
Iris, in delightful pastel colors. In my own classification, I list 
it as a copper blend, suffused blue violet. It is one of the last 
of the Bearded Iris to bloom. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75, 6 for $5.00, 100 for $75.00 
SUSIANA LUTESCENS (G. & K., 1928). One of the new introduc- 
tions of Goos & Koenemann. An unusual white bicolor, with 
white standards and olive brown falls. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
SUZANNE AUTISSIER, 82-82 (Denis, 1921). Although this is a 
moderate priced variety, it compares very favorably in bril- 
liance of color, style of flower, perfection of form, and texture, 
with some of the recent expensive novelties. The standards 
are aniline blue and the falls purplish violet with a beautiful 
white throat spotted bronze. 75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50 
SWAZI, 89-84 (Bliss, 1922), 88 inches. LATE. This variety sold in 
1924 for $75 and is one of the very finest of the “Dominion” 
Race with bluish violet standards and dark velvety pansy violet 
falls. An exceedingly rich, perfectly formed flower of heavy 
substance on tall erect stems. Very free flowering. 
$3.50 each; 3 for $9.00, 6 for $15.00 
SWEET LAVENDER, 85-87 (Bliss, 1919), 36 inches. One of Bliss’ 
finest productions with heavily ruffled pale lavender blue stand- 
ards and flaring Chinese violet falls. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.50
