STARDOM (D. Hall 1941) M. 34”. 
Glowing salmon-rose’ blend of exceptional clarity and 
brilliancy. A rapturous, pleasing color, the flowers are 
medium large, fair to good substance. There is no other 
iris just like it in color. As a clump it gives the effect of 
glowing coppery-gold and tangerine. One of Mr. Hall’s 
finest blends and an iris we feel certain is going to be very 
widely grown and appreciated. $3.00 
STORM KING (Nicholls 1940) L. 48”. 
Massive and imposing. One of the top notch dark iris. 
It is as dark as any named variety and highly original in its 
uniformity of color without veins, haft marking or mar of 
any kind. A rich true purple, it blossoms very late on tall, 
stately stem. Not fast to increase, the demand for stock is 
always ahead of our ability to supply. $12.00 
SUMMER IDYL (Schreiner 1942) EM. 36”. 
A very delicate, lovely shade of blue. In shade it is 
smooth, unveined porcelain blue, lighter than any other blue 
we list but definitely a blue like a delicate tint of a summer 
sky. $1.25 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland 1935) E. 30”. 
Sleek as a well-preened bird of tropic plumage is this 
exquisite blend of golden-tan, rose, and olive. There is 
nothing else like it and the subtle color harmony is sure to 
have an irresistible appeal. 30c; 3 for 75c 
SUNBURST (Mitchell 1937) M. 38”. 
A rich orange yellow that is very bright. This iris .is very 
prolific and looks better in our gardens and performs finer 
than it did in California. 30c; 3 for 75c 
SUNDANCE. (Nesmith 1940) L. 39”. 
In some ways this iris seems to carry the essential colors of 
Mary Geddes only these colors are skillfully blended and 
combined without any heavy venations or flushes. Golden 
tan and rose sienna. Very smooth anda nice blend. $2.50 
SUNDAY BEST (Grant 1941) ML. 36”. 
Well formed, heavily textured large ivory self with a 
bright orange beard. One of the newest cream iris. $4.00 
SUNDUST (Washington 1936) M. 35”. 
A rounded, semi-flaring deep yellow to chrome yellow 
with rich orange beard. It is recommended for gardens in 
the extreme South as being particularly resistant to fading. 
75¢ 
SUN HAWK (DeForest 1939) ML. 36”. 
One of the lighter toned yellows, it is extremely clear 
colored and has a sort of translucent quality to its delicate 
yet definite coloring which is quite unusual for this color. 
Not a lemon or orange yellow it is close to what we would 
call true yellow. Good. $1.00 
SUN SPOT (Grant 1941) ML. 36”. 
An interesting yellow because at the base of each beard 
in the center of the falls is a small white pattern that is 
quite individual. $1.00 
SUNSET BEAM (Schreiner 1942) M. 34”. 
The outstanding character of this iris is the unusual 
eveness and lacquered-like manner in which the color is 
embossed on the petals. We introduced.this iris as we have 
not seen in our experience anything like it for its unusualness 
of finish. In coloring it is a nymph-like cream-yellow with 
just a hint of buff in the standards. The falls are blended 
old rose suffused tan. The colors are beautifully embossed 
and highlighted by bright gold sprinklings. To our per- 
sonal taste we consider this the finest pastel iris blend of 
substance. Quite puzzling to us is the fact that this iris is 
either overlooked by the experts or else it has been passed by. 
We wonder why as it seems to us to be an exquisite piece 
of floral beauty. (Illustration page 19.) 
SUNSET TAN (Egelberg 1940) ML. 36”. 
Entrancing, harmonious combination of soft buff-fawn 
with a pale copper-pink glow. Fine formed flower, self in 
tone, of good substance with more pink and less bronze in 
its coloring than most other similarly colored. Strong stalks 
of moderate branching. $2.00 
SYMBOL (White 1941) M. 36”. 
A yellow with a heart of apricot and orange and a paint- 
ing of fawn brown brushed on each side of the beard; very 
neat and trim. An interesting variation in color pattern. 
Medium large flowers, well branched stems. $5.00 
TAPESTRY ROSE (D. Hall 1942) M. 38”. 
Languorous, simply exquisite soft old rose colored blend. 
This very nice iris should appeal to people who like blends. 
Large, well formed flowers of excellent substance on a strong, 
very well branched stem. $3.50 
THE ADMIRAL (D. Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Profound and stately, an effective, dark, brilliant violet- 
blue with a blue-tipped beard. The standards are lightly 
frilled, the falls flare in a dashing way. A luscious color, 
finely formed blooms, the stem is high branched. Especially 
effective as a clump because of its dramatic carriage and 
happy combination of color. $3.00 
THE BISHOP (Washington 1937) M. 36”. 
A smooth, long formed flower of intense Bishop’s purple. 
Blooms are well formed and are carried on well branched 
stems. It can best be visualized as being midway between 
that fine lustrous purple, /ndian Hills, and the more violet, 
San Diego. $1.00 
THE BLACK DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1934) EM. 30”. 
This pansy-violet of moderate size and height, has the 
richest, most velvety texture of any deep violet. COne of 
the near-black iris; a very high class flower. 25¢ 
hE SREDSDOUGEASH(ssassal 937) oN lle cue 
A magnificent iris, we think it one of the finest iris we have 
grown and it is unquestionably close to the apex of all the 
dark red purples. Although there are redder iris there is 
no more beautiful dark red. A vibrant red of rich plush- 
like quality giving the flower a deep glowing ruby-like lustre. 
The entire flower is pure and unmarred by any haft venation; 
a self, the rich overall gives it a most sumptuous and courtly 
appearance like the sterling thoroughbred it is. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
RHE SENTFINEES (Ds Halislo42 vies Aw 
A brilliant copper orange iris ... like a piece of highly 
polished or burnished copper. The color is the salient fea- 
ture of this iris as its branching is badly bunched. Its color 
alone seems enough to make this iris attractive though its 
plant habit leaves something to be desired. $3.00 
THELMA JEAN (Peck 1939) EM. 34”. 
A production from New England. A rich self shade of 
petunia violet with ideal stiff, upright standards; crisp, 
broad, straight hanging falls. Early flowering, branched 
stalks; very pretty and a novel coloring we recommend. 
$2.00 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres 1932) ML. 37”. 
This is a larger plicata than Los Angeles. The flowers are 
satiny white with button-hole stitchings of bright yet deli- 
cate blue. Very hardy and a vigorous grower.
