RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner, '51) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



If you like the plicata Minnie Colquitt you will exclaim over this 

 redder, more contrasty, more brilliant improvement. The standards 

 are almost completely raspberry-red, the falls gleaming white in the 

 center of a surrounding band matching the standards. Beard is 

 orange. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1955. See page 24. 



REAL DELIGHT (Waters, '60) 



Each $5.00 



A huge and gorgeous blend of blush pink and deep apricot. Petals 

 are broad and thick in texture, the falls flaring and supporting a 

 heavy, bright red-orange beard. There is a greenish chartreuse glow 

 within the flowers. 3 /a feet. HM AIS, 1960. 



REHOBETH (Deforest, '53) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



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. 



RIBBON ROUND (^orr^pkms, '63) Each $25.00 



Snow white and sharply contrasting blue, surely the most exciting 

 plicata of this type to date. Huge in size, moderately ruffled and 

 ideally branched on stems up to 48 inches in height. It is one of the 

 first to come into flower and continues right through the season. See 

 page 44. HM AIS, 1964. 



RIPPLING WATERS (Fay, '61) Each $10.00 



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, flar- 

 ing falls, with ripples, ruffles and frills. 36 inches, HM AIS, 1962; 

 AM, 1964. Shown on page 7. 



RIVIERA (Plough, '57) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



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. Medium late; 3 feet. HM AIS, 1958. 



ROBERT J. GRAVES (K. Smith, '58) Each $4.00 



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. 



"I received the Iris that I ordered from you, and I want to 

 say they are the largest, strongest, best looking rhizomes that 

 I have ever bought in my several years of growing Iris."

MAUVE MINK 



ROCKET RUST rCifason, '63j Each $12.00

 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 new plicata. Petals are thick, broad and 

 lightly ruffled. Height 36 inches. HM AIS, 1964. Shown on page 31. 



ROCOCO (Schreiner, '60) Each $5.00 



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

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

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

 Beard is deep yellow. Early; 40 inches. Plant Patent No. 2077. HM 

 AIS, 1960; AM, 1962. See page 27. 



ROMANESQUE (Hall, '60) Each $5.00 



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. HM AIS, 1961. See page 55. 



ROSE AMETHYST (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $1.50 



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

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

 immediate attention in any collection of the very finest. Height 3 

 feet or over. 



ROMULUS (Hall, '63) Each $10.00 



A giant mulberry-rose self with an extra heavy brownish orange 

 beard. The outer margins of both standards and falls are laciniated 

 and ruffled; even the style arms exhibit this feature. Here is a flower 

 full, deep and mellow in tone, the rich but quiet hues of which seem 

 to exude mystery and luxury! Height 3 feet; very late. See page 36.
