REMEMBRANCE (Hall, 1942) Each ^1.00 



Of a bewildering number of pink blends raised by David Hall, this 

 appears to be the best. Although the predominant note is a delightful 

 shade of light pink, there is enough yellow in the big flowers to class 

 it as a blend. Well shaped, with very strong stems, it is 38 inches 



• tall. Limited stock. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



ROCKET (Whiting, 1945) Each ^8.00 



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

 An orange self, the standards 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. HM AIS. 1945; AM, 1947. 



RODEO (DeForest, 1947) Each ^6.00 



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. 



ROSE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1947) Each ^6.00 



The picture on page 45 is a very close likeness, although the Iris is 

 actually more pink than this would indicate. 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. 



ROSE TOP (H. Sass, 1941 ) Each ^2.00 



This bright rose-pink plicata provided the greatest surprise of our 

 1945 season. Blooming after every other Iris had passed, not many 

 visitors saw it. Highly ruffled, the big blossoms of deep cream have a 

 heavy pattern of vivid rose-pink stitching which seems to possess ex- 

 ceptional carrying quality. Viewed a block distant it looked like a red 

 and white bicolor. HM AIS. 1943. 



ROYAL SCOT (Hall, 1944) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.00 



A tall and large flowered red trimmed plicata of a pleasing tone of 

 burgundy-red. It is so heavily trimmed that at a distance it gives a 

 red effect. Form, substance and stem are good, and it increases fast 

 and blooms freely. HM AIS, 1944. 



RUBIENT (Whiting, 1942) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.00 



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 ^6.50 



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.
