RUSSIAN BRONZE (Milliken) 
A flaring flower with golden tawny standards and deep ma- 
roon falls. It has the habit here in Southern California of throw- 
ing bloom in the winter and thus adds another color to our 
group of Blue River, Sungold and San Pasqual, which are very 
regular winter bloomers in this section. 2% feet. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75; 12 for $13.50 
RUTH POLLOCK (H. Sass) 
Generally regarded as one of the best of the yellow plicatas. 
The ground color of soft yellow is stitched and dotted with 
deep maroon, the standards being deeper than the falls. Not 
large but well shaped, ruffled flowers. 3 feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SABLE (Cook) 
This is undoubtedly one of the most popular deeply colored 
irises in commerce. It is a glistening, very dark, violet. Not 
only is the color extremely rich, but the flower is large, of fine 
shape and substance. 3 feet plus. $1.00 
SAN MARINO (Milliken) 
Rosy brown lines etched on a white background. A flaring 
plicata of excellent substance. The well-formed flowers are 
attractive in the garden and are excellent for cutting. The 
plants are vigorous. 24 inches. $1.50; 3 for $3.75

SAN PASQUAL (Milliken) 
A huge, very rich velvety flower which blooms very early 
with us, along with Sungold, Blue River and San Gabriel. The 
falls are a velvety violet-carmine, the standards a few shades 
lighter. Both shape and substance excellent. 3 feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 12 for $9.00 
SARDIS (C. G. White) 
Another contribution to the early flowering iris, this one 
being particularly adapted for centerpieces, the flowers meas- 
uring about 4 inches by 3% inches. 
The coloring is in the lighter tones of lilac-violet, the flaring 
falls being lightly penciled and having irregular blackish red- 
purple signal patches beginning near the end of the beard. The 
stem is unbranched. The plant is exceptionally vigorous. 30 
inches. An oncobred. $1.50 
SAUGATUCK (Nies) See Spurias, page 25. 
SERENATA (Milliken) 
Our visitors like this pinkish flower with its firm flaring falls 
shading to hellebore red (Ridgway) and its softer russet-wine 
colored standards. The flowers spread about six inches. Very 
attractive. 2” feet . $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SHERIFFA (White) 
A tall iridescent purple onco-bred which is outstanding. The 
petals are darker around the edges and burnished with a metal- 
lic lighter shade in the center. It is a vigorous plant. We ex- 
pect it to become very popular. 3% feet. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 12 for $8.50 
SHERWOOD FOREST (Milliken) 
In selecting this iris from among our many seedlings we had 
in mind particularly its use in flower arrangements, although 
it plays its part well in the garden. In color it is rich red-purple. 
The falls are narrow, long, and very velvety and against this 
background, for about two-thirds of the length of the fall, runs 
a full, rounded, bronze beard. 2% feet. $4.00
