ROMANESQUE (Hall, '60) Each $15.00 



A very large, deep mulberry flower, near the color of Elmohr 

 but a bit more "rosy." The beard is not heavy but is quite 

 reddish. Ruffled and waved, with very broad standards and 

 falls. Stalks are tall and stiff, the branching very good. This 

 was a "stunner" here last year. See page 45. HISI .\IS, 1961. 



ROSE AMETHYST (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $2.50 



A new plum-colored Iris with rosy glow and soft brown liafts. Unique 

 in color, the flowers large and perfectly formed; we are quite sure 

 that you will find it a lovely garden subject and one that will attract 

 immediate attention in any collection of the very finest. Not a gay 

 color but rather one of subtle richness. Height 3 feet or over. See 

 page 13. 



FAIRY FABLE 



REGINA MARIA (Hinkle, '55) Each $5.00 



A huge flaring medium blue, a suggestion of powder-blue being 

 present but it is not a dull shade. Elegantly smooth and \vell formed, 

 it ranks with the best of those which might be termed the perfect 

 Iris. 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. 



REHOBETH (DeForest, '53) Each $1.25; 3 for $3.00 



Palest sky-blue— almost the lightest shade of blue imaginable! Of 

 such perfect form and thick texture that it appears to be wrought 

 from porcelain. The blooms measure seven inches and over. HM 

 AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Premio Firenze Award in Italy, 1957. See 

 page 40. 



RIVIERA (Plough, '57) Each $3.00 



Soft Dresden-yellow, almost a self except for a white flush below the 

 beard. There is a hint of delicate blue on this white area. Flowers 

 are massive in size, ruffled and laced at the margins. This is one of 

 our favorites among the newer things. Medium late; 3 feet. HM .\IS. 

 1958. 



ROCOCO (Schreiner, '60) Each $15.00 



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

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

 The falls are pure white in the center, with a quite distinct band 

 of blue encircling a full half inch of the pleated and ruffled border. 

 Beard is deep vello\\'. A much discussed and admired recent novelty. 

 Early; 40 inches. Plant Patent No, 2077. HM AIS. I960.

ROSEDALE (Hall, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Much ruffled salmon-pink blend, the falls held squarely horizontal 

 .\ two-year clump is a mass of bloom. It is very late, about 30 inches 

 in height, ideal for the front of the border. HM .AIS, 1954. See 

 page 59. 



ROSE FLAME (Hall, '61) Each $15.00 



A brilliant pinkish self with an underlying cerise glow ami a cherry- 

 red beard. This Iris has a quality, textiue and color fluctuations 

 akin to that of changeable silk— difficult indeed to describe. The 

 term "carrying power" is often employed to indicate color strength 

 of a garden flower . . . here it really does exist in quantity and run- 

 ning over! Closed conical standards and verv broad, flaring falls 

 combine to create this most alluring departure from the familiar 

 pattern of pinks. 36 inches, well branched. See page 53.
