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.

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”. .$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SILENT WATERFALL (Essig). A very 
large, tall iris of unusual coloring. Stand- 
ards 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. 40”.......... 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm). Pronounced 
Snow-Kwal-Me. Rich, smooth cream of 
large size and fine form. Good growing 
habits. One of the really good creams. 
Mid-season. 45”......... $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SNOW CARNIVAL (Graves 1942). One of 
the very large new whites that has given 
a good account of itself in our garden. 
Clear in color, heavy substance, blooms of 
fine form held on strong, well branched 
stems. Hardy and vigorous. Early mid-

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 ruffled, 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. Few, if any, iris 
are more deliciously scented. Similar to 
orange blossoms. Early. 50”.
