SHARKSKIN (Douglas 1942) M. 38”. * 
Silken finished pure white, clear haft, good substance, four 
well spaced branches. ‘This very fine white with leather-like 
substance, large size and purity of color is a wonderful satis- 
factory garden Iris. Nicely tailored flowers, delicately poised 
it ranks among the finer white Iris. HM’43. AM’46. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SHARON KAY (DeForest 1946) M. 34”. 
A very pretty rose tinted lilac. A white tinged beard in the 
heart of the large oval blooms gives a picture of quiet seren- 
ity. Warmer toned than orchid this pinky shaded light lilac 
is individual and delectably colored. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SHISHALDIN (DeForest 1944) M. 38”. 
One of the bright blends—a combination of orange, yellow 
and brown. The general effect is a lustrous copper-gold re- 
minding one of The Sentinel’s colorings. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SIEGFRIED (H. Sass 1936) L. 40”. 
Huge flower, slightly fluted, late blooming. Pale sulphur- 
yellow with stipples and dottings of brown on both the stand- 
ards and falls. Very different and much in demand. HM’36. 
AM’38. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm 1938) M. 36”. 
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. An in- 
dispensable garden Iris and a perfect foil for the deeper 
colored Iris. AOc; 3 for $1.00 
SNOW CARNIVAL (Graves 1942) M. 38”. * 
This outstanding ruffled white is one of the white master- 
pieces in Iris. Possessing balance and beauty, it is a splendid 
striking cold white whose frilled form, large flowers and well 
branched stems combine to give us a standout white Ivis. 
HM’42. AM’44. $1.25; 3 for $3.25 
SNOW CRYSTAL (Wills 1947) M. 35”. 
If you are looking for a plicata that has a small amount of 
marking this is the Iris. The finely formed flowers are crystal- 
line white with just a dash of blue marking toward the center 
third of each petal. The whole is most distinctly combined 
with very blue crests and style arms, very pleasant combina- 
tion. HM’47. $2.50 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939) EM. 40”. 
A beautiful, ruffled blue-white, like an enveloping soft snow 
spray. The unopened buds are lightly tinted blue but the 
blossoms open a cool white. Large flowers, strong substanced 
on tall stems, short branching. It is slightly tender. HM/’39. 
AM“41. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SNOW VELVET (H. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
An excellent, very velvety textured white Iris with a gilding 
of gold in the throat. Gardenia-like texture withstands rain, 
sun, wind in an exceptional manner. Illustrated on page 2. 
HM’42. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass 1944) M. 38”. * 
Mahogany-red, the smoothest deep flowered grand red. Large 
flowers of good substance, one of the darkest reds. Finely 
formed, smoothly finished and heavily textured, fine branch- 
ing. Top honors go to this imposing Iris in the deep red 
class. Note the picture on page 23. HM’44. AM’47. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SONRISA (DeForest 1942) M. 38”. 
Coppery pink with a yellow undertone; large flaring flowers 
of fine substance and excellent placement. To us it is reminis- 
cent of Daybreak, in possibly a larger flower. A gold overlay 
gives the flower a metallic finish. HM’45. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75 
SPANISH LADY (Stevens Iris--See page 8).

SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis 1947) ML. 38”. * 
A flower from Colorado and like its snow-capped peaks this 
Iris is as we would expect it. It is completely white—the 
flower, the throat, the haft, the beard, the style arms—all 
white. Very nicely formed blooms, broad petaled, heavily 
substanced and fine textured. One of the finest new white 
creations. As evidence of its fine qualities it placed high in 
the symposium of the AIS the first year it was distributed, 
an achievement very few Iris can boast. HM’48. AM’50. 
$7.50 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944) ML. 36”. 
A remarkable Iris is this seashell-pink. One of the most de- 
cided color breaks in years. A translucent, delicate seashell 
or coral-pink. Its crowning glory, a deep tangerine-orange 
beard, is boldly accented against this lovely color. Its wax-like 
substance holds the delicate coloring very well and flowers take 
the hottest sun without fading. We regret that the colored 
illustration on page 21 could not quite capture the more 
salmon-coral tint which would be an even finer reproduction. 
Very popular. HM’45. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
SPRING GLOW (Schreiner 1942) VE. 28”. 
Very early flowering fine red-brown intermediate. A seedling 
of Cheerio, it is a gorgeous maroon-brown, a color nearly un- 
obtainable in this group. 75¢ 
SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck 1940) ML. 38”. * 
A very famous yellow. Winner of the Dykes Medal for Bee 
Striking, gleaming, velvety golden yellow 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 colorine which is enhanced by a rich beard. Pictured on 
page 37. AM’42. DM’44. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
STARDOM (Hall 1947) M. 36”. 
Rapturous salmon shading to apricot-buff. A clump gives the 
effect of glowing coppery salmon. Bright orange beard, ex- 
tremely vigorous. A heavy flowering, lusty growing, hardy, 
effective garden Iris. HM’40. AM’43. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
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. HM’41. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith 1946) M. 38”. 
A pleasant medley of beige and rose tints skillfully combined 
with a gleaming golden luster. The broad falls are distin- 
guished by a brown flush on the upper part; fragrant. HM’46. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.25 
SULTAN’S ROBE (Salbach 1945) M. 36”. 
A rich deep rose to red shaded with varying 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. $2.00 
SUMMIT (Stevens Iris—See page 8). 
SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge 1948) EM. 40”. * 
An impressive, blazing golden flame blend. In some lights 
it seems almost red, at another angle it looks heavily influ- 
enced with burnished gold. This Iris was the winner of the 
President’s Cup for 1949 for the striking display it gave in 
the garden. HM’49. $7.50 
SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass 1943) M. 38”. 
One of the fine seedlings to come from Prairie Sunset. It is 
without question a wonderful Ivis, unique in color and suff- 
ciently 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 Ivis of its coloring. HM’43. AM’45. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50
