RIPPLING WATERS (Fay, '61) M. 36" $3.00 



Pale bluish-orchid, a shade difficult to describe but it certainly is not 

 in any sense pink. The very bright tangerine beard, on a creamy 

 ground, creates a dramatic and unusual effect. Big blossoms, flaring 

 falls, with ripples, ruffles and frills. HM, '62; AM, '64. Dykes Medal, 

 '66. Shown on page 23. 



ROBERT J. GRAVES (K. Smith, '58) M. $1 .00 



A gigantic late white with yellow beard. It is flawless in form with 

 big closed standards and broad falls of enamel-like finish. Three to 

 four-foot stems are ramrod straight and the branching is perfect. 



ROCKET RUST (Gibson, '63) ML. 36" $2.00 



Falls are bright rusty copper smoothly blended on a creamy ground, 

 the standards solidly colored rusty copper. Lighter, brighter and 

 much larger than Chinquapin but with some of the same hues and 

 tints found in that fine plicata. Petals are thick, broad and lightly 

 ruffled. HM, '64. See page 34. 



ROCOCO (Schreiner, '60) EM. 39" $1 .00 



Ruffled and fluted, giant plicata of bright blue on clean white, the 

 blue pattern especially wide and heavy in the folds of the standards 

 and falls. Beard is deep yellow. HM, '60; AM, '62. See page 35. 



ROSE KINGDOM (Wills, '66) M. 34" $7.50 



This is one of Wills rose-toned Iris. The flowers are wide and flaring 

 with some ruffling. Classed as a rose-pink, well branched, sturdy stalks 

 and heavy substance. 



ROSES IN SNOW (Noyd, '67) ML. 34" $4.00 



Clean snow white, with a beard of almost blood red! The contrast is 

 really startling and this Iris is so nearly perfect in every way that few, 

 if any of the whites with red or tangerine beards actually equal it. 

 Huge in size, with lacy petal edges. HM, '68. 



ROUND DANCE (Wills, 70) M. 34" $7.50

ROYAL TAPESTRY (Schreiner, '64) ML. 38" $3.00

 branching. HM, '65. See page 26. 



ROYAL TOUCH (Schreiner, '67) ML. 34" $5.00

 Victoria or pansy violet. Beard is deep blue, tipped lighter. HM, '68;
