I have sent to many. 
Mrs. Clarence Taylor 
SABLE (Cook 1938) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A lustrous black iris which should be in every collection. Large 
well shaped flowers of velvety black violet. Even the beard is 
dark. A magnificent variety and one of the finest we grow. 
Pictured above. 
SALMONETTE (J. Sass 1946) Each 2.50 
One of the new pinks from Sass farms. Not large but the buds 
are the pinkest we have seen. Color is light salmon pink. 
SALMON SHELL (Muhlestein 1950) Each 7.50 
When this delicious salmon toned shell pink iris first bloomed 
in our trial beds last year visitors without exception praised its 
beauty. In addition to the captivating color every requirement 
necessary for a top flight iris is evident. Flowers exhibit excel- 
lent substance and texture. Stems are ideally branched and the 
plant is a vigorous grower. 3 to 3% feet. Midseason to late. 
SANDIA (Williamson 1934) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Lovely rose pink that has been most popular with visitors to 
our garden. Large flowers of good substance and very early. 
SEA LARK (Muhlestein 1946) Each 2.00 
A different blue that is unique. Flowers are periwinkle blue 
with purplish flush in the centers. There is absolutely nothing 
else like it. 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
One of the last iris to bloom and an unusual color combination. 
Cream buff standards and reddish purple falls with pale lav- 
ender margins. Very impressive in the garden and a most 
worthwhile variety. 
SHARKSKIN (Douglas 1942) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
An immense handsome new white iris. Leathery substance 
and purity of color are outstanding features of this spectacular
