SOLID MAHOGANY Pure, deep and rich, one of the 
finest dark reds. A beauty, finely formed and smoothly 
finished, heavy texture. This iris is one of the most discussed 
of the very new Sass originations. $15.00 
SPINDRIFT A remarkable iris which we introduced last 
season. A translucent, delicate sea shell or coral pink. 
A new tone in iris very close to true pink. An even self of 
pleasing form and excellent substance, non-fading. Striking 
in originality and individuality. Accented against the lovely 
ethereal pink shades is a deep tangerine colored beard both 
startling and individual. One of the real breaks to a new 
iris color, it has attracted tremendous attention. Eagerly 
sought after, our stock last season was exhausted before the 
end of June. We offer this iris because it is so utterly 
unique. Undoubtedly it will prove the progenitor of more 
unusual iris to come. $15.00 
SUEZ Withdrawn this season for stock propagation. 
SUNSET SERENADE This is about the finest seedling 
to come from the famous Prairie Sunset. It is without 
question a wonderful new iris unique in color and sufficiently 
different to be significant. A lovely golden apricot with a 
glorious iridescent blend having that unusual quality of 
coloring of its parent, Prairie Sunset, in new color tones. 
Truly one of the grandest iris of its coloring. $20.00 
TEA ROSE Lovely new pink development out of Matula 
x China Maid. A creamy blend of rose and pale gold 
with a heavier suffusion of rose. $10.00 
WORTHINGTON Strong and clear, bright rosy-red that 
carries very effectively. A harmonious bicolor, the colors 
are all pleasingly clear and bright; good form, nice size, 
smoothly textured and heavily substanced. $7.50 
Clmerican Iris Society Fudges ymposium 
AS interesting symposium is conducted annually by Mr. K. D. Smith of Staten Island, N. Y. Ballots are 
submitted to the accredited judges of the American Iris Society listing over 200 varieties of Iris that have 
all won Honorable Mention or higher awards from the American Iris Society in the last five years. Judges were 
first asked to cross off those iris not seen in 1943 or 1944 then they voted for their favorite 60 iris listing them 
in the order of their preference, 15 each in Classes A, B, C and D. Scored as follows: A iris counted 10 points, 
B 8 points, C 6 points, D 4 points and iris seen and NOT crossed out 2 points. Total points received were 
divided by the number of judges seeing them and this gave their numerical standing. 117 judges returned 
valid ballots making this the most successful of all symposiums.
