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. 
36”. 50c 
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’. $1.00 
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. 50c 
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”, $1.50 
Sky Ranger (D. Hall 1948) A very tall, stately and heavily ruffled medium blue. 
Flowers are large, attractive in form and of good substance. Strong stems. 54”. 
$12.00 
Solid Mahogany (J. Sass 1944) One of the finest dark iris of recent years. Beautifully 
formed, and the color is aptly described by the name. No haft markings and a 
deep bronze-gold beard accent the richness of the plush-like falls. 36”. $3.00 
Snow Flurry (Rees 1939) A beautiful ruffled white like an enveloping soft snow spray. 
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”. $1.20 
Snowqualmie (Brehm 1938) A midseason iris of mellow, creamy yellow, smoothly 
finished and with exceedingly heavy substance. Well branched. Grows to 
about 40” in height. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
Snow Velvet (H. Sass 1942) An excellent, very velvety textured, white iris with a 
gilding of gold in the throat. Very tough texture withstanding rain, sun and 
wind in an exceptional manner. In spite of gold throat it is very white. $1.00 
Spring Chimes (D. Hall 1939) A large golden russet self, a shade lighter than Night- 
ingale. This is a new and very attractive color. Very rampant grower, hardy 
and a free bloomer. The form is good and substance fair, 38”. 45G 
Spanish Peaks (Loomis 1944) A pure, clean white of immense proportions and most 
graceful form. It has no yellow on the haft nor in the throat. $12.50 
Spun Gold (Glutzbeck 1940) An iris of deep golden yellow. There is no veining 
or shading to mar the purity of the color. The flower is a self, but over the 
whole surface of the falls there is a velvety luster that adds to the depth of 
color. Very nicely branched with good substance. Dykes medal winner for 
1944, 38’. $1.00 
Stained Glass (Wilhelm 1939) A copper-red self that is one of the most brilliant 
irises when viewed with the sun behind it. In such a light it greatly resembles 
stained glass. It is not a red iris, but a solid copper of reddish tone. It has a 
prominent bronze yellow beard. 36”. 50¢ 
Stardom (D. Hall 1941) According to Ridgeway’s color chart this is an onion-skin 
pink, although it does have a strong pink tone. It is one of those off colors 
very difficult to describe. The flower is a self, has good form, substance and 
branching. Free bloomer and a good increaser. 34”, : 75c; 3 for $2.00
