SWAYNE'S GARDENS “- Puyallup “I State of Washington 


ELMOHR. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this rich red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr has ac- 
quired the greatest popularity in the shortest time of any Iris ever introduced. One of the very 
largest of all Irises, the great blooms are daintily ruffled, of a silky texture and remarkable 
substance. The stems are well branched and at least three feet tall. Because it has proven 
to be hardy everywhere and increases rapidly, the price has reached a point where every 
genuine Iris connoisseur can and should own it $1.00 
ELSA SASS. An outstanding Iris that immediately takes one’s eye; a most enticing color of pure 
sulphur and chalcedony yellow; it seems like a cool frost is hovering over its petals. This 
surely is an Iris that will endure. 60c 
EXCLUSIVE. A distinguished light blue iris quite different from other Iris. A light blue color 
which is of great purity is overlain with a silvery mist producing a "powder blue” or French 
blue effect. This serene iris of opulent oval form and enamel-like finish is a most reposeful 
color. Height, 36 inches. 50c
