SHERIFFA (White) 
A tall iridescent purple onco-bred which is outstanding. The petals

shade in the center. It is a vigorous plant. We expect it to become 
very popular. 3% feet. $3.50, 3 for $9.00, 12 for $35.00 
SHINING WATERS (Essig)

of the falls and standards are enhanced by a bright orange beard.

SIERRA BLUE (Essig) 
The large, well-tailored flowers are borne on tall, well-branched

at distant mountains. 44% feet. See illustration.

35c, 3 for 90c 
SLEEPY HOLLOW (Milliken) 
The rich velvety deep violet flowers of this vigorous variety make 
a stunning color note in the garden, the color carrying well despite 
its dark shade. We expect this variety to become more and more 
popular as soon as its beauty and useful landscape qualities become 
generally known. 242 feet. $2.50, 3 for $6.50, 12 for $25.00

SNOW FLURRY (Rees)

ture is the frilling and ruffling of both standards and falls. A re- 
markably strong growing iris with heavy, luxuriant foliage. 4 feet.

SNOWY EGRET (Cleveland). See Siberians, Page 19. 
SPANISH CAVALIER (Milliken) 
Gay Spanish colors of golden bronze for the standards, rich 
velvety wine red for the falls, and a bright orange for the beard, 
make this striking iris a standout in the garden. 4 feet. 
$1.00, 3 for $2.50, 12 for $9.00 
SPARK (Nicholls) 
A low growing bright red variety that makes a very bright patch 
in some corner of the garden. It is also useful in the rock garden. 
1 foot. 35c, 3 for 90c, 12 for $3.25 
SPARKLING FROST (Milliken) 
As the name suggests, this iris glistens and sparkles in the sun- 
light. The cool clean flowers of uniform blue-white are carried on 
4-foot, well-branched stems. An early bloomer. 50c, 3 for $1.25 
SPRING CLOUD (Jory)

marked with blue while the falls are white except for a few blue 
markings. Hardy. 4 feet. 50c, 3 for $1.25 
SPRING DANCE (Milliken) 
This is a refreshingly beautiful iris, with superb flowers carried 
high on giant 4 to 5-foot stems. The color is a fresh uniform light 
lavender faintly suffused with golden yellow. An orange beard that 
deepens to a brilliant glow at the center of the flower gives a 
warmth to the yellow suffusion. Reports indicate its hardiness. 
$1.25, 3 for $3.50, 12 for $12.50 
SPRING MEADOW (Milliken) 
A very large deep blue-violet that meets a need in landscape 
work and also makes a stunning cut flower. Its broad flaring 
flowers are particularly rich in reflected light. We notice that 
nearly everybody speaks about it when it is displayed in our show 
room. 3 feet. $2.50, 3 for $6.50, 12 for $25.00

ized iron wire 30 inches in length
