SPINDRIFT 
SPINDRIFT (Loomis 1944): M.L. 36 in. A delicate sea-shell or 
coral-pink with some venations on the falls. It has a fiery tan- 
gerine beard that accentuates the entire flower. It is well 
branched and the bloom placement is good. A good flower. II- 
lustrated. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
SPRING ROMANCE (Miess 1949): E. 40 in. A waxy cream- 
white with a frosty overlay and heavy infusion of aureolin-gold 
at the haft, with the added charm of an extra heavy, deep or- 
ange beard. This infusion of gold at the heart of the flower casts 
its golden glow throughout the entire flower giving it great 
garden value. This Iris has a delightful fragrance and does not 
fade. H.M., 1950. Each $3.50 
SPUN GOLD (Glutz 1940): M.L. 38 in. A very popular golden 
colored Iris with plush-like texture and a rich golden beard. It is 
very striking because of its glistening and gleaming richness of 
color. The stems are tall and well branched and the flowers 
large and colorful. H.M., 1947; A.M., 1939; Dykes Medal, 
1944. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm 1939): M. 36 in. A coppery red self, 
one of the most brilliant Iris we have ever seen when viewed 
with the sun in the background. In such a light it resembles a 
beautiful stained glass. It is rich, glowing and almost aflame. 
Not an Iris on the red side but a solid copper of a reddish tone. 
H.M. in 1940. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
STARDOM (Hall 1941): M. 34 in. Not exactly a pink but a 
pinkish blend of salmon, apricot, rose and yellow. The beard 
is a brilliant yellow. The flowers are large and there are lots 
of them. Not a tall plant but very nice to use in mixed planting. 
H.M. in 1940; A.M. in 1943. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
STARSHINE (Willis 1949): M.L. 38 in. Soft pastel shades of 
cream, buff and muted blue blended into a pearly combination. 
The falls flare out horizontally and the branching is wide. This 
is an Iris that never succumbs to the elements and has great 
distinction both in quality of bloom and arrangement of color. 
A.M., 1949; A.M., 1951. Each $4.00 
STARLESS NIGHT (Sass 1941): M. 36 in. Very dark blackish 
purple with medium to large flowers that give off a reddish 
sheen in the sunlight. A bright gold band gives this Iris un- 
usual beauty. A fine Iris for the background. 
Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
STATEN ISLAND (K. Smith 1947): L. 38 in. The finest of the 
true variegatas. The standards are bright golden yellow and the 
falls velvety red, edged with a very narrow band of gold. A vast 
improvement over all others in this class. H.M., 1948; A.M., 
1951. Each $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
STELLA POLARIS (Smith 1939): M. 40 in. Beautiful large blooms 
that have a flush of almost silver-blue when they first open, 
then change to a creamy white with almost a velvety surface. The 
stems have four-way branching and reach a good height. A fine 
exhibition spike. H.M. in 1939. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
STORM WARNING (Schreiner 1953): M. 36 in. The blackest of 
the near blacks. A really large black Iris on a three-foot stem 
with a wonderful sheen and classic form. If you are looking for 
the ultimate in the dark Iris you do not need to look further. 
It will add beauty and dignity to your garden. 
Each $10.00
