SAN FRANCISCO. One of the largest white 
plicatas. Introduced many years ago and 
still ranks with the best in this class. Both 
standards and falls are distinctly edged 
blue. Blooms are large and well spaced on 
tall, low-branched stems. San Francisco 
is a vigorous grower, but needs winter 
protection in very cold climates. Mid- 
season 740/25. ois eearthec ere 35c; 3 for 90c 
SAN GABRIEL. A very large, pinkish lav- 
ender of high excellence, adding to its 
other merits the virtue of being very early. 
Well-branched tall stems. A beautiful re- 
fined iris—suitable only to rather mild 
climates: 607 s.5..ceoee enn 35c; 3 for 90c 
SANTA ROSA (Mitchell-Salbach 1943). 
(Monadnock x Seedling.) The largest and 
tallest flower we have seen in the pink to 
rose shades. Four feet high, fairly well 
branched, 7 buds. Large, wide flowers of 
heavy substance. Falls flaring before they 
curve down, standards pink, falls rose 
somewhat lined towards the haft. Gives 
bright and pleasing effect in the garden.

perfectly-branched stem. As many as 
twelve blooms on a, single stalk. Vigorous 
grower and produces blooms in abun- 
dance. Good substance and stands up

some winter protection in extreme cold 
climate. Mid-season. 48”. .50c; 3 for $1.25 
SIEGFRIED (H. P. Sass). Not a perfect iris 
according to iris standards, but a very 
beautiful iris. Standards are a rich golden 
bronze and the rather long falls are white 
with purple stitching on the margins. 
Tall, rather high branched stems. Not a 
rapid multiplier. Mid-season. 40”.

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.

SNOW FLURRY 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939). Early in 1939, are more deliciously scented. Similar to 
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 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm). Pronounced

a good account of itself in our garden.

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 
orange blossoms. Early. 50”.

SNOW MAIDEN. One of the very few really 
dwarf whites. Medium size, pure white 
on 10-inch stems. A Canadian introduc- 
tion that is hardy everywhere. Fine for 
borders or rock garden. Early.

SONG OF GOLD (Essig). A large, clear 
yellow that compares favorably with the 
very best. Unlike many yellows, Song of 
Gold has heavy substance and flaring 
falls. The color is a clear yellow enriched
