RANGER (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each ^2.00; 3 for 0.00 



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 vena- 

 tion. One of the last to bloom, a sure producer of flowers and lot? 

 of them, with straight stems and fine branching. Very large. 36 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1944: AM. 1946. Shown on page 17. 



RED VALOR (Nicholh. 1939) Each ^1.50 



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 1493. Because it is 

 aijsohitely hardy and has given satisfaction everywhere, it is in great 

 demand and stock remains scarce. 



RED GLEAM (Lapham. 1939) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



Mere 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-fiaring form. 3 feet in height and a free 

 bloomer. Texture is velvety but excitingly brilliant. HM AIS, 1940; 

 AM, 1941. 



REDWARD (Cook, 1942) Each 0.00 



Deepest crimson-red — an approach to red from the purple side with- 

 out the orange or brown influence as in the case of the 3 varieties 

 listed just above. A large and brilliant Iris with widely flaring velvety 

 falls. HM AIS, 1945. 



RED TORCH (H. Sass, 1947) Each 0.00 



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 contrast found in true variegatas. thus this Iris might be termed 

 a blend or variegata-blend. Of moderate height and size, the flowers 

 pdfeclly formed and decidedly flaring. HM AIS. 1947. 



REDWYNE (McKee, 1945) Each 0.00 



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

 solidly colored, including a smooth haft, and the finish is particularly 

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

 brilliant in the garden. HM AIS, 1945.
