SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck 1940) ML. 38”. 
About the most famous yellow. Winner of the Dykes 
Medal for 1944. Striking, gleaming, velvety golden yel- 
low 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. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm 1939) M. 36”. 
View this Iris with the sun shining through it. The 
rich glowing, ruddy copper-red tones remind one of 
looking through a stained glass window. This is a 
solid copper Iris with a reddish cast, but not a red 
Iris. Rich. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
STARDOM (Hall 1941) M. 34”. 
Rapturous salmon shading to apricot-buff. A clump 
gives the effect of glowing salmon-rose. Bright orange 
beard, extremely vigorous. A heavy flowering, lusty 
growing, hardy, effective garden Iris. 75¢; 3 for $2.00 
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’ color. $2.00 
STORM KING (Nicholls 1940) L. 40”. 
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. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith 1946) M. 38”. 
A most pleasant blend, a medley of beige and rose 
tints skillfully combined with a gleaming golden luster. 
The broad falls are distinguished by a more pro- 
nounced brown flush on the upper part of the falls. 
$6.50 
SULTAN’S ROBE (Salbach 1945) M. 36”. 
Bright and gaudy, a rich deep rose to red shaded with 
varving 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. $5.00 
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 
formation that is welcome. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
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 won- 
derful Iris, unique in color and sufficiently different to 
be significant. 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. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SUZETTE (Knowlton 1945) EM. 38”. 
As pert as a French mademoiselle. An airily marked 
plicata of rose madder on edges of standards and falls, 
this overlaid on a creamy background. Dainty and 
pert. $9.00 
SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton 1944) EM. 38”. 
An Iris of precise styling, lovely poise and smooth 
tailored appearance. A beautiful very light blue of 
classic form. ‘There is a charm about blue Iris that 
other Iris with the possible exception of the new pinks, 
somehow miss. Wonderful in combination with the 
new pinks. $3.00 
TAPESTRY ROSE (D. Hall 1942) M. 38”. 
Langorous, simply exquisite soft old rose colored blend 
in a class without much competition. Large, well 
formed flowers of excellent substance on a strong, very 
well branched stem. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
TEA ROSE (Whiting 1944) M. 36”. 
Strong growing tea rose with buff shadings. This deep 
shade of mallow-pink with its coppery shading gives 
the effect of a copper-pink. Perfect form; a very worth- 
while Iris. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
THE ADMIRAL (D. Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Profound and stately. An effective, intense blue deeper 
than medium blue but not really dark. Form is un- 
usual. 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 gar- 
den Iris. Vigorous and free flowering, it can take burn- 
ing sun or driving rain. See page 28. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton 1945) EM. 38”. 
A gleaming, large, full formed white Iris with a bright 
gold haft and a bright orange beard so large and 
prominent it looks as if the entire flower were lit up 
by the bright colored beard. Striking and spectacular 
with as prominent a beard as can be imagined. $3.00 
THE ORIOLE (Schreiner 1947) ML. 36”. 
The Oriole has the greatest contrast of colors we have 
seen outside of the amoenas. The standards are a shade 
of goldenrod-yellow, the falls rich blackish maroon so 
deep the flower almost looks like a piece of black and 
gold velvet. Its vividness is most unusual. It is not a 
fast grower. $2.00 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38”. 
A magnificent Iris. A vibrant red of rich plushlike 
quality. Rich, rosy wine-red solid to the haft. It is not 
the reddest Iris but rather a sterling, gorgeously rich, 
deep dark dahlia-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, burnished copper-orange Iris, like a piece 
of highly polished copper. Its branching is bunched 
but the originality of coloring makes it sought after in 
spite of this fault. Of great color value. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
THELMA JEAN (Peck 1939) EM. 34”. 
A flaring flower with distinctive coloring, early flower- 
ering. A rich shade of petunia-violet with ideal, stiff, 
upright standards; crisp, broad, straight hanging falls. 
Very pretty and a novel coloring. We recommend it. 
50c 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres 1932) ML. 37”. 
This is about the largest plicata of the Los Angeles 
type. Satiny white with buttonhole stitching of bright 
yet delicate blue. A0c; 3 for $1.00 
THREE CHEERS (Cook 1945) M. 38”. 
A brilliant, sharply contrasting, blue bicolor; a more 
brilliant and taller Amigo. ‘The standards are an 
opaque light blue almost blue white; the falls a sort of 
ultramarine-purple with a metallic luster. A promi- 
nent whitish beard gives the flower a dramatic note. 
$6.00 
THREE OAKS (Whiting 1943) M. 38”. 
This glowing, massive old-rose-pink blend with very 
broad flowers is an eye catcher. The pleasant color has 
a mellow tone and the flower is highlighted with an 
overlay of rosy copper and is pleasantly ruffled. 
Branched stems, long blooming season. 
$3.00; 3 for $7.50 
THREE SISTERS (DeForest 1941) ML. 30”. 
A color contrast of 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. 
Somewhat inclined to tenderness. $1.00; 3 for $2.50
