SENSATION (Cayeux)—Another French iris with the crisp del- 
icacy of form many find so pleasing, and somewhat larger 
flowered than other mid-blues. A sort of frosted blue in con- 
trast to the enameled blue of Shining Waters, though in the 
same color class. For the front of the border. Mid-season to 
late. 30”. 35c 
SEQUOIAH (Shull)—A glowing, warn graceful iris with velvety, 
reddish maroon falls with a luminous yellow edge and lighter 
standards. It does not seem to be widely grown, perhaps due 
to its irregular blooming habits. A short stemmed flower large 
as the regular seasonal bloom may appear at any time of the 
year in California, and it is therefore very nice to have in the 
garden for flower arrangements. Mid-season. 36”. 306 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel)—Cream colored standards edged faintly 
lavender with rich purple falls, with luminous cream edge. One 
of the not too abundant amoenas. Mid-season to late. 
SOu 35¢ 
SHASTA (Mitchell) —A good medium height white, with slight- 
ly fringed standards, and hardy in any climate. Mid-season. 
56a SOC 
SHINING WATERS (Essig)—One of the very finest blues, clean 
and enamel-like in texture, as a cloisonne piece. Does not fade 
or melt in the sun or rain. Its stem and branching and flori- 
ferousness is unrivaled. It is a standard by which to measure 
general qualities of other iris. A little tender. 48”. 506 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig)—A deep blue, with the same enameled 
texture of Shining Waters but deeper and usually taller, and 
blooming for a longer period. The flowers are not quite so 
large as those of Shining Waters, but have the same fine sub- 
stance that seems to characterize Essig-created flowers. Hardy 
everywhere. Early to mid-season. 50”. 35 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees)—The most striking of the whites. It 
is a pure icy white and one of the most ruffled of iris, as well 
as one of the largest whites. The buds are a pale blue, but 
the flower opens a clear white, and fragrant. A very fine 
flower. Mid-season. $3.00
