RED TORCH (H. Sass, I947J Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards rich deep buff or bronze-gold, falls pure velvety red — quite the 

 nearest true red of any Iris, solid to the edge. There is not the sharp con- 

 trast found in true variegatas. thus this Iris might be termed a blend or 

 variegata-blend. Of moderate height and size, the (lowers perfectly formed 

 and decidedly flaring. HM AIS, 1947. 



RED VALOR (Nicholls, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A superb big red that has been gaining popularity each season. A garnet- 

 red self with brown beard. It won the Roman Gold Medal in 1940; the HM 

 of the AIS in 1941, and the AM in 1943. Because it is absolutely hardy and 

 has given satisfaction everywhere, it is in great demand and stock remains 

 scarce. 



REDWARD (Cook, 1942) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Deepest crimson-red — an approach to red from the purple side without the 

 orange or brown influence as in the case of the three varieties listed just 

 previously. A large and brilliant Iris with widely flaring velvety falls. HM 

 AIS, 1945.

RAINBOW ROOM (Sass, 1946) Each $4.00 



A multi-colored blend with almost all of the tints of the 

 rainbow. Standards are yellow to light buff, falls yellowish 

 at the edges, merging into violet and deepening to metallic 

 blue at the end of the beard. Standards are frilled and 

 the falls are nicely ruffled. 3 feet. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 

 1951. 



RAJAH BROOKE 'Norton, 1945) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Rich topaz-yellow standards shot with bronze; the falls 

 deep pigeon-blood-red. Haft is solidly colored, clear into 

 the throat, giving the flower an extra rich effect. Not 

 brilliant and garish, Rajah Brooke is an Iris in luxurious, 

 subdued hues remindful of an Oriental rug. HM AIS, 

 1946. In color on page 29. 



RANGER (Kleinsorge, 1943) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Dark but very bright almost true crimson-red. 

 A decided self, with long, cone-shaped, closed 

 standards and wide falls of glossy velvet. Bronze- 

 orange beard on a brownish toned haft, with very 

 little venation. One of the last to bloom, a sure 

 producer of flowers and lots of them, with straight 

 stems and fine branching. Very large, 36 inches tall. 

 AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. Shown on page 20. 



RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner, 1951) 



Each $10.00 



If you like the plicata Minnie Colquitt you will exclaim 

 over this redder, more contrasty, more brilliant improve- 

 ment. 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. 



RED GLEAM (Lapham, 1939) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Here is the red Iris that actually looks red and has been 

 declared the nearest approach to scarlet thus far obtained 

 in this flower. It is of good size, of beautiful semi-flaring 

 form, 3 feet in height and a free bloomer. Texture is 

 velvety but excitingly brilliant. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1941.
