Red Gleam (Lapham 1939) We think this iris is very aptly named as it does present 
a red gleam when viewed in bright sunlight. It ranks well up among the red- 
toned iris. A very free bloomer and of good size. Texture is velvety, but ex- 
ceedingly brilliant. 36’. $1.06 
Rocket (Whiting 1945) Early midseason variety and one of the most discussed iris 
of recent years. Standards pure deep chrome and the falls are orange chrome, 
shaded a bit lighter at the edge. Flowers are large, broad petaled and of firm 
substance. Strong, well branched stalks. A clump of this variety has great 
carrying qualities in the garden. Rated 90 in 1946. 38”. $20.00 
Rosy Wings (Gage 1935) A blend of deep rose and crimson brown. A very free 
flowering and rapid growing iris winning the Dykes Medal in 1939. 40”. 50c¢ 
Royal Coach (H. P. Sass 1939) Here is a plicata with decidedly more yellow in its 
makeup than others in the series of Sass plicatas, with a definite brown stitching. 
36”, 50c; 3 for $1.25 
Ruth Pollock (H. P. Sass 1939) The Sass Brothers have produced a number of 
yellow ground plicatas during recent years but consider this one the best of 
the lot. A smooth tone of soft yellow, beautifully marked with reddish stitching.

Sable (Cook 1938) Uniform shade of deepest blue-black violet with blue beard. ° 
Sable has every attribute that a really good iris should possess — large size, tall 
stalk, heavy substance and a wonderfully lustrous sheen. Here is one you can’t 
go wrong on and is most highly recommended. 40”. $1.09 
Samovar (D. Hall 1941) A very brilliant and colorful iris, quite different in color 
from any iris we have seen and is particularly desirable for landscape effect for 
that reason. The color is a coppery rose, with fair substance. A very vigorous 
grower, hardy and a free bloomer. 75¢ 
Sarah Kinish (Rev. D. R. Kinish 1944) Tall, late midseason. Fine medium blue of 
perfect semi-flaring form. Standards are clear, medium-blue, slightly ruffled. 
Falls are a shade deeper, with wavy edges of about the same color as the stand 
ards. Blue tipped beard. Stem is strong and well branched. Lilac fragrance. 
$4.00 
Serenite (Cayeux 1931) <A very good light, blue-toned blend. 48”, 35c; 3 for 90c 
Sharkskin (G. Douglas 1942) A lovely tall white iris; with an almost velvet finish 
and firm substance. The domed standards are very broad and have a strong 
midrib. Falls are arched and flaring, with a pale glistening yellow flush deep 
in the throat. Very nicely branched, with large and well proportioned flowers. 
44’’. $4.50 
Siegfried (H. Sass 1936) Huge flowers, slightly fluted. Late midseason blooming. 
Pale sulphur-yellow with stipling and dottings of brown on both the standards 
and falls. Very different and much in demand. 40”. 50c

The unopened buds are lightly tinted blue but the blossoms open a cool white. 
Large flowers, strong substance on tall stems. Short branching. Needs some 
protection in cold climates. Early midseason. 40’. $1.50 
Snowqualmie (Brehm 1938) A midseason iris of mellow, creamy yellow, smoothly 
finished and with exceedingly heavy substance. Well branched. Grows to
