REDWYNE (McKee, 1945) Each $3.00 



Deep but bright mahogany-red self. The medium size flowers are solidly 

 colored, including a smooth haft, and the finish is particularly velvet. 

 Beard is bronze-gold. One of the "reddest" Irises, especially brilliant in 

 the garden. HM AIS, 1945. 



RELENTLESS (Cook, 1948) Each $5.00 



Solid deep red with color pure and rich throughout the whole flower, 

 even extending over the hafts. Medium large in size with excellent sub- 

 stance and texture ; it does not fade or spot. Yellow beard. Over three 

 feet tall, blooming midseason to late. HM AIS, 19.50. 



ROSABELLA (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $10.00 



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. 



ROSE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1947) Each $3.00 



When fully opened it is very pink indeed, a luscious color remindful of a 

 ripe Watermelon except for the slight coppery tints. About 3 feet in 

 height, a strong grower, well branched. Unlike any other near pinks in 

 this catalog. HM AIS, 1948. 



RICH RAIMENT (Craig, 1949) Each $7.50 



One of the newest "fancy" plicatas, with such an all-over pattern as to 

 appear as a solid rich red-brown. The under color is creamy yellow-buff, 

 completely threaded and dotted with heavy pattern of deep burgundy- 

 red-brown. A big flower on 34-inch stem. HM AIS, 1950. 



ROCKET (Whifmg, 1945) Each $3.00 



Here is an Iris the name of which is truly indicative of its rise to fame. 

 An orange self, the stsindards pure deep chrome and the falls orange- 

 chrome almost to the edge. There is a burnished finish on the falls which 

 lends extra depth to the color. Ideal form, nice branching and grows to 

 3 feet. HIVI AIS, 1945 ; AM, 1947. 



RUBIENT (Whifmg, 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 standards. Stems reached a height of over 40 inches in our garden. 



RUSSET WINGS (Wills, 1946) Each $3.00 



Smoothly blended big flowers of gold, copper and apricot — a russet 

 colored self. Form is faultless, with wide standards perfectly held and 

 flaring falls ruffled at the edges. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1946. 



SABLE (Cook, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Almost black; a miiform 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 26. 



RODEO (DeForesf, 1947) Each $4.00 



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. 



SALAMONIE fCooi^, 1946) Each $5.00 



Exquisite light pink blend, richly yet deUcately colored, combining the 

 best features of its parents, Majenica and pink Reflection. A self in 

 garden effect, the flowers holding their color weU in any weather. Stand- 

 ards light pinkish cinnamon; falls light Congo-pink; flowers 5 inches in 

 diameter. A strong grower and free bloomer. HM AIS, 1946.
