RUSSET MANTLE (Schreiner 1944) EM. 38”. 
An extremely smooth russet brown iris. Standards soft 
buff, falls rich, velvety garnet brown. For clarity of color 
with a beautiful finish, lack of venation, the rich, flaring 
elegance of this iris with its ideal candelabra branched stem 
is an effective garden iris and is equally of value as a close- 
up flower. $7.50

This is unquestionably one of the finer yellow plicatas. 
The flower is near perfection in all details. Background is 
a soft shade of yellow clearly etched and stitched in reddish 
rose. The conciseness of pattern and manner of markings 
combine to give an artful achievement. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SABLE (Cook 1938) EM. 37”. 
A wonderful shade of deepest black violet with a claret 
tone. One of the richest dark tones. Fine in every way and 
a gratifying grower. Arresting in its depth of color even to 
the blue beard. Deserves the popularity it has received. A 
large iris with nice flower stalks, well substanced and with 
a lustrous sheen. It is aniris instantly sought after. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
SALAMONIE (Cook 1946) EM. 36”. 
Exquisite new salmon colored blend from the combina- 
tion of those two splendid iris Majenica and Pink Reflection, 
its parents. A pleasing shade of salmon to near silvery pink, 
broad flowers, well substanced. A prolific bloomer, the 
abundance of bloom gives a melting freshness that is most 
admirable. $15.00 
SALAR (DeForest 1940) ML. 40”. 
Lovely and pleasing combination of opalescent creamy 
flesh dominated by an overlay of salmon. The falls have a 
spread of rose tones around the beard. Large flowers on 
well branched stems. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SALMON SPLENDOR (Lapham 1941) EM. 30”. 
A prolific flowering variety ideal for massing or garden 
groupings. Has all the charm of Noweta in tones of salmon 
with just a pink underglow. $1.50 
SANDIA (Williamson 1934) E. 38”. 
Sturdy, bright medium pink lightly blended. A very large 
and strong growing iris. Branched stems, good sized flow- 
ers, very weather resistant. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SEDUCTION (Cayeux 1933) M. 38”. 
Daintiest of the plicatas with an ivory-white ground 
faintly stitched and polka-dotted an exquisite lavender. 
Flowers are large and beautifully formed. 75¢ 
SETTING SUN (Kirkland 1937) M. 36”. 
A very deep red. In the slanting rays of the sun it is a 
glowing, fiery red-copper; one of the most brilliant reds. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932) L. 38”. 
Unusual oriental blend, late blooming. Standards are 
creamy buff faintly edged lavender. Falls very rich velvety 
chestnut merging into purple. Thumb nail edge repeats the 
color of the standards. 30c; 3 for 75c 
SHANNOPIN (Pillow 1940) M. 40”. 
A striking iris and most original. Close to a cream and 
rose amoena. Clear cream ruffled standards with pink to 
rose cast falls, medium sized flowers. $2.50 
SHARKSKIN (Douglas 1942) M. 38”. 
Silken finished pure white, clear haft, good substance, four 
well spaced branches. This very fine white with near 
leather-like substance, large size and purity of color is a 
wonderfully satisfactory garden iris. A thrifty plant with 
nice tailored flowers, delicately poised, it ranks among the 
finer white iris, $6,00

SHINING WATERS (Essig 1933) ML. 36”. 
Quiet as a mountain lake reflecting an unclouded blue. 
One of the loveliest of iris; an exquisite sheen and shade of 
blue. Slightly tender but worthy of the extra protection it 
may require. 40c 
SHISHALDIN (DeForest 1944) M. 38”. 
One of the bright new blends — a combination of orange, 
yellow and brown. Flaring form, the general effect is a 
lustrous copper-gold reminding one of The es color- 
ings. 3.00 
SIEGFRIED (H. Sass 1936) L. 40”. 
Huge flower, slightly fluted, late blooming. Pale sulphur 
yellow with stipples and dottings of brown on both the 
standards and falls. Very different and much in demand. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig 1932) ML. 40”. 
A smoothly lacquered medium blue with broad flaring 
falls of unusual length. A true self color that is really mag- 
nificent in the clump. A good performer everywhere. 
35c; 3 for 90c 
SILVER LUSTRE (C. Carpenter 1942) ML. 40”. 
An altogether splendid blue, beautiful form, classical 
domed standards and semi-flaring falls. Very good form 
and substance. With us this iris, because it is hardy, will 
likely supplant Shining Waters as it is essentially like this 
splendid iris but with the valuable feature of hardiness and 
good growth habits. We are well pleased with this iris. 
$3.50 
SMOLDER (Nicholls 1937) L. 38”. 
Smooth, rich, monastic black-purple self with an under- 
glow of red. Beard is brown giving the flower a very deep 
and rich effect. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm 1938) M. 36”. 
One of the very best cream iris. It reminds one of thick 
Jersey cream and like this luscious cream which seems to 
have so much body, this iris is heavily substanced. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SNOW CARNIVAL (Graves 1942) M. 38”. 
This outstanding ruffled white is one of the white master- 
pieces in iris. Possessing balance and beauty, it is a splendid, 
striking cold white whose frilled form, large flowers and well 
branched stems combine to give an iris Dr. Graves can in- 
deed be proud of. It has been a standout white iris in our 
garden and we recommend it highly. $6.00 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939) EM. 40”. 
A beautiful, ruffled blue-white, like an enveloping soft 
snow spray. The unopened buds are lightly tinted blue but 
the blossoms open a cool white. Large flowers, strong sub- 
stanced on tall stems, short branching. It is slightly tender 
here. $2.00 
SNOWKING (H. Sass 1935) ML. 38”. 
Regal flaring white, broad formed flowers nicely poised 
on well branched stems. This iris along with Gudrun super- 
cedes a multitude of older, inferior white iris and deserves 
a place in any good iris collection. 35c; 3 for 90c 
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 (H. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
An excellent, very velvety textured white iris with a 
gilding of gold in the throat. Gardenia like texture, with- 
stands rain, sun, wind in an exceptional manner. In spite 
of the gold throat it is very white. $4.00
