SNOWKING (H. Sass 1935) ML. 38”. 
A king indeed! Radiant as sun on arctic snows, this 
serenely poised giant of glacial purity and regal carriage is 
generally recognized as one of the finest white iris. It is 
ideal in stem and branching and fortunately of rugged 
hardiness. 35¢ 
SNOW SENTINEL (Baker 1942) M. 38”. 
Large, waxy substanced new white with domed standards. 
A glistening foil to the clear white color is the orange-yellow 
beard which brightens the entire flower. $4.00 
SNOW VELVET (UH. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
An excellent, very velvety textured white iris with a 
gilding of gold in the throat. Gardenia like texture with 
exceptional weather resistance. Something different in the 
whites. $5.00 
SONG OF GOLD (Essig 1937) M. 34”. 
A rippling medium yellow with pronounced flaring falls. 
A pure medium tone of yellow with well branched stems, 
fine textured blooms, pleasingly scented. $1.00 
SONNY BOY (Kirkland 1939) E. 34”. 
Twinkling with light and life this is one of the finest cop- 
pery blends of Dr. Kirkland. A more brilliant, brighter and 
larger King Midas; a lovely color. $1.25 
SONRISA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Coppery pink with a yellow undertone, large flaring 
flowers of fine substance and excellent placement. To us it 
is reminiscent of Daybreak in possibly a larger flower. A gold 
overlay gives the flower a metallic finish. $10.00 
SOUTHLAND (lH. Sass 1934) VE. 28”. 
Deep yellow chrome in color. Good sized flower and a 
dependable fall blooming variety in sections where these 
iris bloom again. 30c 
SORRENTE (Cayeux 1937) M. 36”. 
A fine glistening smooth blue and yellow blend. Nice 
size, rounded flowers of good form. Standards yellow over- 
laid lavender, falls very broad, lavender with an adroit 
margining of primrose yellow and flushed same color at the 
haft. A blue blend of fine value. $2.50 
SPARKLING BLUE (Grant 1942) EM. 38”. 
Flax blue with shimmering frosty crystals that make the 
flower sparkle with a cool, refreshing effect. A fine colored 
iris, nicely substanced flowers blooming over a long time. 
$5.00 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944) ML. 36”. 
A remarkable iris is this ‘‘sea shell’? pink which we intro- 
duced. It is one of the most decided color breaks in years. 
A translucent, delicate ‘‘sea shell’? or coral pink. A new 
tone in iris very close to true pink. A self of pale pink with 
some venation on the falls. Boldly accentuated against 
this lovely color is its crowning glory, a deep tangerine 
orange beard, both startling and unique. It is proving of 
inestimable value as a progenitor of more unusual iris to 
come. $12.00 
SPOKAN (J. Sass 1933) EM. 34”. 
Huge glowing red-brown. The falls are similar but slightly 
deeper in shade. A rich, velvety flower that makes a very 
rich clump in the garden. 35¢ 
SPRING GLOW (Schreiner 1942) VE. 28”. 
Very early flowering fine red-brown intermediate. A 
seedling of Cheerio, it is a gorgeous maroon brown, a color 
nearly unobtainable in this group. $1.50 
SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck 1940) ML. 38”. 
About the most famous yellow. Winner of the Dykes 
Medal for 1944. Striking, gleaming, velvety golden yellow 
with the glistening thick texture we generally associate with 
the darker colored iris. Has perfection of form, styling and 
color. A vibrant and brilliant shining gold, no veining or 
shading mars the purity of coloring which is enhanced by 
a rich beard. A sensational creation. $6.00 
STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm 1939) M. 36”. 
View this iris with the sun shining thru it. The rich 
glowing ruddy copper red tones remind one of a view thru 
the stained glass of an old Cathedral window. This is a 
solid copper iris with a reddish cast, but not a red iris. 
Rich. $1.00 
STARDOM 6(D. Hall 1941) M. 34”. 
Rapturous salmon-rose shading to apricot-buff. Brilliant 
orange beard, a luscious color. A clump gives the effect of 
glowing coppery-orange. A pleasing iris that will be widely 
grown and appreciated. $2.00 
STARLESS NIGHT (J. Sass 1941) M. 36”. 
A very rich deep glowing blackish red — practically the 
only red iris that is this deep in color. There are several 
deep purples and violets but this iris in the deep reds is 
unique. Sunlight shining upon it gives a real sheen to the 
nicely formed flowers. $5.00 
STARWOOD (Peggy Williams 1943) M. 36”. 
A tall, large flowering rich yellow from the cross of Golden 
Hind by Sundust. An exceptionally clear, free flowering iris 
of great garden value. $3.50 
STELLA POLARIS (K. Smith 1939) EM. 36”. 
A large cool white. When doing well it ranks with the 
best. It has been a variable performer with us. Large 
flowers, semi-flaring falls on branched stalks. $3.50 
STORM KING (Nicholls 1940) L. 44”. 
Massive and imposing. Silky purple-black blooms about 
as dark as any iris. Very original in its uniformity of color 
without veins of any kind. Tall stems, immense flowers; a 
rather slow grower. $8.00 
SUEZ (Schreiner 1944) M. 33”. 
This is our seedling of William Mohr. Large, rounded and 
broad, a rich shade of oriental reddish-purple with an un- 
usual veining and spotting pattern inherited from both its 
parents (Wm. Mohr and Mme. Louis Aureau). In this res- 
pect it is the most veined and dotted ‘‘child” of Wm. Mohr 
produced. Quite important is the fact that Suez yields fer- 
tile pollen and is capable of setting seed as well. In fact it 
sets seed to its own pollen and should be an invaluable stud 
in breeding. $12.00 
SUMMER IDYL (Schreiner 1942) EM. 36”. 
A very delicate porcelain blue lighter than any other blue 
we list but definitely a blue like a delicate tint of a summer 
sky. $1.25 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland 1935) E. 30”. 
An exquisite blend of gold-tan, rose and olive. Sleek as 
a well preened bird of tropical plumage. The subtle color 
harmony is sure to have an irresistable appeal. 35c 
SUNBURST (Mitchell 1937) M. 38”. : 
A large, rich orange yellow that is very bright. A very 
prolific grower; stems a bit weak. 30c 
SUNDAY BEST (Grant 1941) M. 49”. 
Well formed, heavily textured large ivory self with a 
bright orange beard. A new cream iris that grew to sur- 
prising height. It was the tallest iris in our garden. $3.50
