SUNNY RUFFLES (Waters 1943) EM. 36”. 
A beruffled clear lemon yellow with the center of each 
petal shading to cream white. A variation in petal forma- 
tion that is welcome. 
SUNSET BEAM (Schreiner 1942) M. 34”. 
The outstanding characteristic of this iris is the smooth 
lacquer-like manner in which the color is embossed on the 
petals. Nymph-like cream yellow standards with falls 
blended old rose suffused tan. Highlighted, bright gold 
sprinklings, finest pastel blend of unusually fine substance. 
$3.50 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass 1943) M. 38”. 
This is about the finest seedling to come from the 
famous Prairie Sunset. It is without question a wonderful 
new iris unique in color and sufficiently different to be sig- 
nificant. A lovely golden apricot or apricot buff with a 
glorious iridescence having that unusual quality of coloring 
of its parent but lighter in tone. Truly one of the grandest 
iris of its coloring. $7.50 
SUNSET TAN (Egelberg 1940) M. 36”. 
An entrancing, harmonious combination of soft buff-fawn 
with a pale copper-pink glow. Fine self, pinker and less 
bronze than most iris in similar color class. 
TAPESTRY ROSES (DsHalliO42 Messe. 
Langorous, simply exquisite soft old rose colored blend. 
Large, well formed flowers of excellent substance on a 
strong, very well branched stem. $2.50 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) M. 36”. 
Strong growing, tea rose and buff shadings. This deep 
shade of mallow pink with its coppery shading gives the 
effect of a copper pink. Perfect form, a very worthwhile 
iris. $7.00 
THE ADMIRAL (D. Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Profound and stately. An effective, intense blue deeper 
than medium blue but not really dark. Form is unusual. 
Falls flare in a dashing way and the finish and substance 
are outstanding. The dramatic carriage of this fine flower 
makes it one of the most effective garden iris. Vigorous and 
free flowering, it can take burning sun or driving rain. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
THE BISHOP (Washington 1937) M. 36”. 
A smooth, long formed flower of rich Bishop’s purple. 
Blooms are carried on well branched stems. $1.00 
THE RED DOUGLAS JV: Sass 1937) ML. 38”. 
A magnificent iris. A vibrant red of rich plush-like qual- 
ity. Rich, rosy wine red solid to the haft. It is not the 
reddest iris but rather a sterling, gorgeously rich, deep dark 
red. Critics agree it is one of the finest iris we have. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
THE SENTINEL (D. Hall 1942) M. 34”. 
A brilliant copper-orange iris, like a piece of highly pol- 
ished copper. Its branching is bunched but the originality 
of coloring makes it sought after in spite of this fault. 
$2.00 
THELMA JEAN (Peck 1939) EM. 34”. 
A flaring flower with distinctive coloring, early flowering. 
A rich shade of self petunia violet with ideal, stiff, upright 
standards; crisp, broad, straight hanging falls. Very pretty 
and a novel coloring. We recommend it. $1.25 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres 1932) ML. 37”. 
This is about the largest plicata of the Los Angeles type. 
Satiny white with buttonhole stitchings of bright yet deli- 
cate blue. 50c 
TEREE CHEER Sm(Gookwl045 sMiagor 
A striking and brilliant blue bicolor that has been likened 
to Amigo and Wabash. In our opinion it is entirely different. 
An unusual shade of blue with a metallic lustre, the stand- 
ards are an opaque, very light blue, the falls a sort of mul- 
berry purple with individual lustre. The beard which is 
prominent, is the whitish blue color of the standards. The 
flower is elongated, a very striking iris. $12.50 
THREE OAKS (Whiting 1943) M. 38”. 
This glowing old rose-pink blend with very broad flowers 
is ruffled pleasantly. The pleasant color has a mellow tone 
and the flower is highlighted with an overlay of rosy-copper 
and bright blue center to the falls. Long blooming season; 
stems are short branched. $7.00 
THREESSISTERS) (Werorest O41) Mies 30". 
Creamy yellow standards and red-violet falls, sort of 
half way between a variegata and an amoena. There is no 
overlapping of the two colors; the line of contrast is unique. 
Stands out across the garden. For us it is inclined to ten- 
derness. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
TIFFANJA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Smooth, clear-cut plicata, differently and stylishly as- 
sembled. Standards creamy colonial buff with more white 
cast falls both speckled and sprinkled light golden brown. 
Carries as a buff cream in the garden. $3.50 
TIFFANY (H. Sass 1938) M. 34”. 
Gaily painted yellow plicata. It has rose or deep pink 
stitching on a yellow background. The pattern is a most 
pleasing one. There is a freshness about this yellow plicata 
that makes it one of our favorites among the yellow pli- 
catas, a profuse bloomer. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
TISHOMINGO (Caldwell 1942) ML. 38”. 
A large, clear wistaria blue, a cool lilac shade. A flower 
of crispness, firm substance and texture. $7.00 
TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge 1942) M. 34”. 
Stiff, horizontal flaring flower with rigid upright stand- 
ards gives this iris a crisp effect. A unique color, a golden 
tobacco brown, a lighter shade than most brown iris. 
$7.50 
TOP SERGEANT (Kirkland 1941) ML. 34”. 
Almost pure self red-brown. Falls velvety and slightly 
deeper in tone. It is particularly well thought of and praised 
in the south. It has nice garden habit being especially effec- 
tive as a clump. $2.50 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1937) ML. 36”. 
A massive flower of a rich shade of vivid yellow. The 
pure golden tones are untarnished by any flaw or flecking 
that appear as a shortcoming in others at times. Tall 
stems, moderately branched, hardy, it is a highly meritori- 
ous variety. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
VALIANT (Sturtevant 1937) ML. 40”. 
A rich blue blend of electrifying blue punctuated and 
edged iridescent old gold with a strong orange beard. 50c 
VARESE (Williamson 1935) ML. 35”. 
A brilliant red-purple of fine globular form. A vigorous 
grower and very effective in the mass, lovely color. 50c 
VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting 1943) ML. 38”. 
Rich and majestic, a glossy blue purple self with a satin 
like finish. Heavily textured, broad formed blooms, wide 
spreading falls. Tall stalks carry many flowers. This color 
is always needed in the garden and this iris is a reliable 
grower where many darks are less so. $5.00
