SNOW FLURRY 
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.

SIERRA SNOW (Kleinsorge). In our opin- 
ion Sierra Snow ranks with the very best 
whites. A variety of good size, perfect 
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 
Snow-Kwal-Me. Rich, smooth cream of 
large size and fine form. Good growing 
habits. One of the really good creams. 
Mid-season. 45”......... $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SNOW CARNIVAL (Graves 1942). One of 
the very large new whites that has given 
a good account of itself in our garden. 
Clear in color, heavy substance, blooms of 
fine form held on strong, well branched 
stems. Hardy and vigorous. Early mid-

SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939). Early in 1939, 
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 
are more deliciously scented. Similar to 
orange blossoms. Early. 50”......... $3.00 
SNOW KING. A big pure white that is 
hardy everywhere. Large blooms perfectly 
formed and carried on well-branched, tall 
stems. Grows especially well in the mid- 
west and eastern states. H. M., A. I. S., 
1936. Mid-season: 36”... .....0.- «teens 50c 
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.

SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass). An iris in 
very rich dark brownish red shade. The 
color effect is suggested by the name, a 
brownish mahogany. Good form and 
heavy substance, and good branching. 
30”. Mid-season. Stock limited..... $15.00 
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 
by a bright orange beard. Blooms delight- 
fully scented. The flower stalks tall and 
well branched. Perfectly hardy. An east- 
ern authority says: “An exceedingly good 
flaring yellow.” Mid-season. 38”.

SOQUEL (Reinelt). (Wm. Mohr x Sunol.) 
An iris of the William Mohr type but a 
little lighter in color and much more vig- 
orous in growth. Big blooms of very heavy 
texture. Uniform color of medium dark 
violet, very heavily veined deeper color. 
Good growing habits, rapid increaser.

tinct plicata. 42” high, wide branched, 6

fused brownish rose, falls white heavily 
edged brownish rose. A plicata in a new 
pattern. Very effective in the garden. 
Mid-season 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944). During the past 
few years there has been a concerted ef- 
fort to produce real pink iris. We have a 
number of pink blends and iris in pink 
shades. Real pink iris are scarce. Spin- 
drift is one of the few iris approaching 
the true pinks. A delicate shell or coral 
pink with a brilliant tangerine beard 
which accentuates the pink shades. 
Medium tall, well-branched stems. Mid- 
season. Stock scarces. aaseniae wees $12.00
