PIERRE MENARD 
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 sub- 
stanced and fine textured. One of the finest white creations. 
HM’48. AM’50. $4.00 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944) ML. 36”. 
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 deli- 
cate coloring very well and flowers take the hottest sun with- 
out fading. We regret that the colored illustration on page 
27 could not quite capture the more salmon-coral tint which 
would be an even finer reproduction. Very popular. HM’45.

SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck 1940) ML. 38”. * 
A very famous yellow. Winner of the Dykes Medal for 1944. 
Striking, gleaming, velvety golden yellow with glistening thick 
texture. Has perfection of form, styling and color. A vibrant 
and brilliant shining gold, no veining or shading mars the 
purity of coloring. Pictured on page 44. 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. HM’40. AM’43. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
STAR SHINE (Wills 1949) ML. 38”. 
You probably have admired the beautiful indescribable tints 
of the last twilight rays of the evening sky many times. This 
Iris embodies these shades in an unusual coalition of pearly 
blue and deep cream and white with an over-all iridescent 
gleam. A very subtle pastel of wonderful carriage and poise. 
HM’49. AM’51. $8.00 
STATEN ISLAND (Smith 1947) L. 38”. * 
For a long, long time City of Lincoln has ruled as King of 
the Variegatas. Now a new king reigns. Staten Island is cer- 
tainly tops in the variegatas. Bright yellow standards and 
solidly colored falls a bright red with gold edge. Jauntily 
formed blooms. HM’48. AM’51. $6.00 
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. 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. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
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 dashing accent 
of color. A bright violet-blue blaze in the center of the falls 
accentuates the colors in a striking manner. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
SUMMIT (Stevens 1951) M. 40”.* * 
Mrs. Stevens has produced three yellow amoenas or near- 
amoenas: Pinnacle (light yellow and white), Summit (deep 
yellow and white), and Mystic Melody (deep yellow and 
cream). Of the three, Summit is the most contrasting by 
far and an Iris of seemingly epochal importance to the Iris 
breeder. A very tall Iris with superb branching, its moderate- 
sized blooms have standards which are absolutely snow-white 
and falls of a deep golden yellow, creating a wonderfully 
refreshing and breath-taking contrast. In New Zealand this 
is considered the best of Mrs. Stevens’ yellow amoenas. Every 
Iris hybridizer in America will want this outstanding novelty 
for use in his breeding program. Very fine likeness in color

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 
Prsident’s Cup for 1949 for the striking display it gave in 
the garden. HM’49. AM’51. $5.00
