L. 40 inches. The pioneer of the yellow-ground plicatas. A 
very large flower stippled and dotted brown on both the yellow 
standards and the creamy falls with a touch of fluting and ruf-

light blue. 
SKY RANGER (Hall, 1948) Each $7.00 
A very tall, stately and heavily ruffled medium blue. It grows 
to a height of 54 inches and the three-way branched stems open 
one flower at a time on each branch. The flowers are large, 
of very attractive form and good substance. The stems with 
three flowers open have held up when many named varieties in 
the garden have gone down during storms.

flowers are perfectly formed and of the heaviest substance. The

Standards are pure icy white, beautifully ruffled, and falls big, 
broad and pure white. They are waved and crimped at the 
edges, semi-flaring. Snow Flurry is especially noted for the 
great number of flowers produced on each stalk, some of which 
tower to a height of 4 feet. A very early variety, long lasting.

in growing habit. 3 feet tall. 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm, 1938) Each 40c 
M. 36 inches. One of the very best cream iris. It reminds one 
of thick Jersey cream, and like this luscious cream, which seems 
to have so much body, this iris is heavily substanced. 
SNOW VELVET (H. Sass, 1942) Each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
A white flower of very heavy substance, lit with gold about the 
center. The large flowers stay in good condition on the hottest

Very wide segments, rounded form with slightly flaring falls

ductions. H. M., A. I. S., 1945.

substance. Stems are not short but branching is high. 
SPRING SHOW (Milliken) Each $7.50 
Very large with shaggy falls. Standards light wine shaded with 
a network of chartruese veins; the falls are light russet-wine 
with a lavender-blue overlay, like a piece of beautiful changeable 
taffeta in the blue and lavender shades. This is indeed a very 
lovely flower. 21% ft. 
SPRING SUNSHINE (Milliken, 1947) Each $2.50 
E. M. Simply huge lemon-cream with strong midrib. H. M. 1947.

STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm, 1939) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 36 inches. View this iris with the sun shining through it. 
The rich glowing ruddy copper red tones remind one of a view 
through the stained glass of an old cathedral window. This is 
a solid copper iris with a reddish cast, but not a red iris. Rich. 
STARDOM (Hall, 1941) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 34 inches. Rapturous salmon shading to apricot buff. A 
clump gives the effect of glowing salmon apricot. Bright orange

except there is a pronounced overlay of gold on the upper half 
and a bright dash of blue violet in the center of the falls. H. M., 
A. I. S., 1946. 36 inches. 
SUNNY RUFFLES (Waters, 1943) Each 50c

outer edges of each of the gracefully formed petals. Harly mid- 
season. 36 inches. 
SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $7.50
