PINK JEWEL Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



Not a large flower, but an excellent pink toned 

 affair where garden effect is desired. The standards 

 are self colored, but the falls are very heavily veined 

 deep violet pink over a lighter ground. A very rapid 

 increaser, thirty inches tall. 



PINK OPAL Each 40c 



A sister seedling of Pink Satin, of much greater 

 size and half again as tall. The blossoms are lilac- 

 pink, self colored, and abundantly produced, al- 

 though the tall stems are short branched. However, 

 the blooms appear all along the stalks, so that the 

 lack of branches is not apparent in the garden pic- 

 ture. Very beautiful, and a bargain at the price. 



PIUTE Each $10.00 



Fiery bit of color, a near approach to true red, 

 without haft venation and lacking blue or purple in 

 its makeup. One of Quality Gardens real quality 

 introductions. Three feet tall, of good size, on slender 

 stems. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET Price on request. 



Possibly the most beautiful iris of all time — a glori- 

 ous blend of pink, rose, apricot, peach and yellow. We 

 were among the fortunate few who saw it two years 

 ago and likewise among the very few who were 

 privileged to purchase a rhizome last summer at 

 $100 each! We have one or two to sell this year. 



PRESIDENT PILKINGTON Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



A very lovely pastel blend, which at one time 

 bore the appropriate name of "Apparition". When 

 Mr. Mead saw it blooming in France, he described 

 the color as "a lavender-blue elephant tone", suf- 

 fused with bronze. A huge flower, the stalks splen- 

 didly branched to 4 feet tall. 



Standards are pale buff, with faint bluish and 

 slightly rosy cast. Falls, wide and flaring lavender- 

 blue with buffy yellow suffusion paling at the mar- 

 gins. Beard golden yellow. 



RADIANT Each $10.00 



Standards of burnished golden bronze, falls of 

 glowing copper red, as bright in comparison with 

 other iris of today as King Midas was rich among the 

 iris available when it was first released. Of medium 

 size and height, perfect form, inestimable garden 

 value. Incidentally, it bloomed again in the fall in 

 1936, and also in 1937. Very few rhizomes for sale. 



RAMESES Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



A symphony in rose, pink and buff, shading to 

 yellow near the edges, and with a yellow glow at the 

 heart. Heavy apricot beard. This fine hardy iris was 

 originated in Nebraska by the Sass Brothers, and was 

 so universally outstanding that it received the Dykes 

 Medal in 1932. The big flowers are very freely pro- 

 duced, late, on 36-inch stalks. See page 22. 



REBELLION Each $5.00; 3 for $12.00 



Glowing deep blood red, almost a duplicate of 

 Burning Bronze except that the coloring is far more 

 vivid. It is described and shown in color on the back 

 cover. 



RED CROSS Each $2.00 



A rather bizarre contrast of bright rose-red and 

 white, especially striking in the garden picture be- 

 cause of its great carrying power. It is almost an 

 exact counterpart of Mary Geddes in markings and 

 type, but instead of an orange or salmon cast this one 

 appears as rose red. A Kleinsorge introduction of 

 1938. 



RED DOMINION Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Luxurious red velvet, the shade of a glass of fine 

 wine with the light through it. The opening buds are 

 almost black, and the full blown flowers possess a 

 depth and richness unequalled in any other red iris. 

 One of Dr. Ayres' masterpieces. See page . . 



RED GLEAM Each $25.00 



The most vivid red iris we have ever seen. Intro- 

 duced and fully described on page 9. 



RED RADIANCE Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



A very rich maroon red, especially telling in mass. 

 Both standards and falls are dark, the falls velvety. 

 Rapid increaser, very hardy, over three feet in height. 



ROBERT Each $1.25 



Somehow we have overlooked this in prior years. 

 Last season we saw it in several Eastern gardens 

 and it was extra fine. An iris of perfect shape and 

 smooth substance, a chamois colored self, or perhaps 

 a yellow-tan would better describe it. Near the haft 

 there is a very light suggestion of pale blue. H. M. 

 AIS 1936. Height 3 feet. 



ROSARIO Each $6.00 



Beautiful ochraceus yellow, flushed and overlaid 

 old rose. Might be called tourmaline pink with gold 

 suffusions extending from heart of flower into the 

 falls. Deep yellow beard, particularly luminous in a 

 gray atmosphere. Form broadly flaring, very large in 

 size, finely branched stalks, 40 inches tall. Selected at 

 blooming time last year among Mr. Thole's seedlings, 

 his Satsuma being equally fine and a lovely com- 

 panion to this one. 



ROSEL AND Each $ 1 5.00 



One of David Hall's new things; a taller, larger 

 and brighter Coralie. See page 9. 



ROSY WINGS Each $7.00; 3 for $18.00 



Among the two or three top-most introductions 

 during the past few years. A blend of rose and cop- 

 per, with excellent form, flaring falls, large size, 40- 

 inch stems. One of the few new colors developed in 

 iris in recent years. Very few rhizomes for sale. 



RUBEO Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



An outstanding red from California, of huge size, 

 excellent branching habit, and four feet in height. 

 Standards are deep glistening rose, falls deep 

 maroon of heavy velvety texture. The finest red 

 among Mohr-Mitchell introductions.
