SPUN GOLD. Probably the topnotch 
yellow to date. Award of Merit. Very 
fine. Dykes Medal. 1944, 90¢ 
STAR SHINE. (J. Willis 1949). M.L. 
Deep cream, white, and pearly blue 
are so skillfully combined that the 
flower has the iridescent gleam of 
lustrous pearls. An iris of great in- 
dividuality, it wsa a center of attrac- 
tion in the Wills garden at the time of 
the Nashville meeting. The deep 
cream or buff-yellow standards are 
broad and domed, the white flaring 
falls have a suggestion of blue in the 
center, and an edging of the same 
color as the standards. Very firm 
substanced flowers and exceptionally 
sturdy well branched stalks. An iris 
that never succumbs to the elements. 
It has great distinction both in qual- 
ity of flower and arrangement of color.

tells you that.

iegata with bright gold standards and

gold. A vast improvement over others 
in this class. A.M. 195]. $4.50

1946) M. 38 in. One of the bluest, 
this is a rich ultra-marine of large

purple with red underglow. A superior 
near black. H.M. 1941. 75¢

A beautiful iris and a superb parent. 
H.M. 1946. $2.00 
SUNRAY. (Hall 1950), A large ruf- 
fled light yellow of quite ideal form 
and extra heavy substance. One par- 
ent is the pink Floradora. These 
pinks give a sheen and brilliance to 
their off-spring rarely found im yel- 
lows. The 36-inch stem and branch- 
ing is excellent. It is a fast in- 
creaser, hardy and an outstanding 
parent for ruffled pinks and yellows. 
A well grown stem of Sunray is well 
nigh the perfect Iris. $10.00 
SUNSET BLAZE. (Kleinsorge 1948). 
A tall and huge golden flame-salmon 
blend, almost a red, but with so much 
of the gold influence in it that it is 
not really a red iris. You have seen 
the sun look much like this just be- 
fore it sinks over the horizon. Both 
standards and falls are extra large 
and the haft and beard are bright gol- 
den yellow. A most impressive flow- 
er. Winner of the President’s cup at 
the A.I.S. convention in 1949. H.M., 
A.LS. 1949, $6.00 
SUNSET SERENADE. A soft golden

SYLVIA MURRAY. Here is the great- 
est light blue to date. This variety 
is so well liked that last year it sold 
out before catalog was printed. One 
of the great blues and right at the 
top. Mr. Norton selected this one, 
and his choice was sensational. H. 
M. A.M. 1949, $1.00 
SYRINGA. A clear, pure lilac self 
and broad semi-flaring falls with gold- 
en reticulationson the haft. Fragrant. 
A fine thing indeed. H.M. 1947, 
$2.00 
TALLY-HO. (Hall 1949). The upper 
part of the falls is close to the deep 
coloring seen in bright fuchsia color- 
ed orchids. The domed standards and 
lower part of the falls are lighter. 
The 32-inch stems are stout but a 
little closely branched for such large 
flowers. It is a wonderful parent-- 
when crossed with clear flamingo-- 
pinks it throws orchid-pinks, golden 
apricots, and some burgundy shadeel 
H.M. 1950. $12.00
