SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass 1944) M. 38”. 
Mahogany red, the smoothest deep flowered grand new 
red. Large flowers of good substance, one of the darkest 
reds. Finely formed, smoothly finished and heavily textured, 
fine branching. Top honors in the crimson class go to this 
imposing new iris. $12.00 
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; 3 for $2.50 
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. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
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. $7.50 
SOQUEL (Reinelt 1940) EM. 30”. 
Light colored Wm. Mohr development. Large and well 
formed blooms; fine, broad foliage and a good grower. 
$1.00 
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. 
$3.00 
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. $7.50 
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. 35c; 3 for 90c 
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. $1.00 
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. $4.00 
STAINED GLASS 
View this iris with the sun shining thru it. 
glowing ruddy copper red tones remind one of a view thru 
(Wilhelm 1939) M. 36”. 
The rich 
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; 3 for $2.50 
STARDOM (Hall 1941) M. 34’. 
Rapturous salmon shading to apricot-buff. A clump 
gives the effect of glowing salmon apricot. Bright orange 
beard, extremely vigorous. A heavy flowering and pleasing 
iris that is widely appreciated. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
STAREESS 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. $3.00 
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. $2.50 
STELLA POLARIS 
A large cool white. 
(K. Smith 1939) EM. 36”. 
When doing well it ranks with the 
best. It has been a variable performer with us. Large 
flowers, semi-flaring falls on branched stalks. $3.00 
STELLA VIOLA (Snyder 1945) EM. 38”. 
Clear gleaming violet of huge size and precise form. Blooms 
round and wide. The color is rich. Imagine Violet Crown 
a more intense deep violet and you have a fairly accurate 
idea of this fine iris’s color. $5.00 
STORM KING (Nicholls 1940) L. 44”. 
Massive and imposing, silky blackish purple flowers. A 
very late flowering variety of immense blooms, wide flaring 
falls. The uniformity of color without veins of any kind 
gives a rich and original iris. Not a fast grower. $5.00 
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. $10.00 
SULTAN’S ROBE (Salbach 1945) M. 36”. 
Bright and gaudy, a rich deep rose to red shaded with 
varying hues of copper and gold. The big broad flaring falls 
have a dashing accent of color. A bright violet blue blaze 
in the center of the falls accentuates the colors in a striking 
manner. $10.00 
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. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
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. $3.00 
SUN HAWK (DeForest 1939) M. 34”. 
A true light yellow neither gold, lemon or orange tinted. 
Clear and translucent, quite unusual. $1.00
