reminding one rather of the lustrous light golden orange of 
the California Poppy. Writes Mrs. Stevens: “Entirely distinct, 
this glorious new Iris is a smooth, very light orange. Sensa- 
tional as is the color, the rich plush-velvet of the falls and the 
rigidly held, taffeta-textured standards, are equally so. A true 
self without a single vein or variation in color, this Iris is 
destined for a great future. Unlike most Iris with orange 
toning, it will stand the hottest sun without either fading or 
bleaching.”” Pictured page 41. $12.00

RUSSET WINGS (Wills 1946) M. 36”. * 
A melodious and smooth combination of copper and apricot 
with a russet tone playing through all the colors. The 
sprightly flowers of flaring form punctuated by gleaming gold 
dusting are full of life and snap. A very pleasing color har- 
mony. Pictured in color page 29. HM’46. 
$3.00; 3 for $7.50 
RUTH POLLOCK (H. Sass 1939) ML. 36”. 
Background is a soft shade of yellow clearly etched and 
stitched in reddish rose. The conciseness of pattern and 
manner of markings combine to give an artful achievement. 
HM’39. AM’41. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SABLE (Cook 1938) EM. 37”. * 
A wonderful shade of richest deep black-violet with a claret 
tone. Fine in every way and a gratifying grower. Should be 
in every Iris garden. Arresting in its depth of color even to 
the blue beard. Deserves the popularity it enjoys. A large 
Iris with nice flower stalks, well substanced and with a lus- 
trous sheen. HM’37. AM’40. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
SALAMONIE (Cook 1946) EM. 36”. 
A pleasing shade of salmon near silvery pink. Broad flowers,

of fluting. HM’48. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
SAVAGE (Craig 1949) M. 34”. 
Here is a real eye catcher. A broadly flaring bloom of a vivid 
shade of red—a sort of medley of bronze red suffused and 
blazed magenta in a most striking manner, a brilliant flower 
hard to describe. HM’51. $10.00 
SEA LARK (Muhlestein 1946) M. 36”. 
An unusual blue Iris. A slate blue with a flush of purple 
toward the center of both the standards and the falls. This 
flush or intensification of color is highly original; an interest- 
ing blue unlike any other. HM’47. $2.00 
SEARCHLIGHT (Stevens 1947) EM. 40”. 
An excellently formed rich pure gold. The uniformity of 
coloring is instantly apparent due to the complete absence 
of veins in the haft and the identical coloring of the beard 
and flower. Classic domed standards and ideal flaring falls. 
Well substanced, the flowers are slightly larger and fuller 
than Ola Kala. $5.00

the finer white Iris. HM’43. AM’46. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
SHARON KAY (DeForest 1946) M. 34”. ‘ 
A very pretty rose tinted lilac. A white tinged beard in the

ity. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
SHISHALDIN (DeForest 1944) M. 38”. 
One of the bright blends—a combination of orange, yellow

Huge flower, slightly fluted, late blooming. Pale sulphur- 
yellow with stipples and dottings of brown on both the stand- 
ards and falls. HM’36. AM’38. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm 1938) M. 36”.

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. HM’47. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
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. 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

SPANISH LADY (Stevens 1948) M. 38”. 
A tall and stately beauty whose lovely form is decked in rich 
brown velvet and taffeta. The crisp brown standards are a 
lighter brown than the falls, whose rich deep velvetiness is 
almost a walnut shade. An intense gold beard like a candle 
flame gives life to the whole flower. $6.00
