Pretty Quadroon 



RODEO (DeForest, 1947) Each $3.00 



Brighter color in the same pattern as Tiffanja and much larger than that distinct 

 and popular Iris. Standards clear gold, falls white, edged with gold. Style arms 

 are gold and the beard brown tipped with gold. The light marking, or stitching, 

 is brown. As big and conspicuous as a "ten-gallon" hat, hence the name. HM AIS, 

 1949. 



ROSA BARONE (La P h am, 1951) Each $10.00 



An enticing new Iris! A soft pink over cream self much on the order of the 

 Dr. Van Fleet Rose, with a small short tangerine beard. The shade of pink has 

 also been described as similar to the Peony Therese. Of good size and it does not 

 fade in the sun. 37 inches. 



ROSABELLA (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $7.50 



A rampant growing deep rose-red self, the haft flushed metallic copper. This same 

 coppery suffusion extends into the base of the standards also. Beard is prominent 

 and a dull bronze-orange in color. Falls are extra broad and flare out widely; the 

 standards are likewise very large and held erect. A dominant garden flower with 

 loads of color, very early. Height 4 feet. HM AIS, 1952. 



ROSED ALE (Hall, 1952) Each $10.00 



Much ruffled salmon-pink blend, the falls held 

 squarely horizontal. As seedling No. 48-33 it has 

 attracted much attention in the Hall garden and we 

 have been repeatedly urged to introduce it. A two- 

 year clump is a mass of bloom. Very late, about 30 

 inches in height. 



ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens, 1951) 



Each $7.50 



This new deep orange-yellow self comes from New 

 Zealand and is described by the introducer as a rival 

 for Rocket in intensity of color. It is a much cleaner 

 Iris, however, and will withstand the sun without 

 fading or bleaching. Sturdy and well branched, 38 

 inches tall. 



RUBIENT (Whiting, 1942) Each 75c 



A taller, much redder Amigo. Standards are rich 

 pansy-purple, very brilliant; the falls blackish red- 

 purple with a neat edge the same tone as the stand- 

 ards. Stems reached a height of over 40 inches in our 

 garden. 



RUSSET WINGS (Wills, 1946) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Smoothly blended big flowers of gold, copper and 

 apricot — a russet colored self. Form is faultless, with 

 standards perfectly held and flaring falls ruffled at 

 the edges. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 

 1952. See page 21. 



SABLE fCoofc, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Almost black ; a uniform shade of deepest blue-black- 

 violet, with blue beard. Sable has every attribute that 

 a fine Iris should possess; large size, reasonably tall 

 stalks, thick substance and a wonderfully lustrous 

 sheen. Everybody wants Sable. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 

 1940. See page 30. 



SALAMONIE (Cook. 1946) Each $4.00 



Exquisite light pink blend, richly yet delicately 

 colored, combining the best features of its parents, 

 Majenica and Pink Reflection. A self in garden ef- 

 fect, the flowers holding their color well in any 

 weather. Standards light pinkish cinnamon; falls 

 light congo-pink; flowers 5 inches in diameter. A 

 strong grower and free bloomer. HM AIS, 1946.
