ROCKET (Whiting, 1945) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is an Iris the name of which is truly in- 

 dicative of its rise to fame. An orange self, the 

 standards pure deep chrome and the falls or- 

 ange-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 $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Brighter color in the same pattern as Tiffanja 

 and much larger than that distinct and popu- 

 lar Iris. Standards clear gold, falls white, edg- 

 ed 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. 



ROSA BARONE (Lapham, 1951) 



Each $6.00 



An enticing new Iris! A soft pink over cream 

 self much on the order of the Dr. Van Fleet 

 Rose, with a small short tangerine beard. The 

 shade of pink has also been described as sim- 

 ilar to the Peony Therese. Of good size and 

 it does not fade in the sun. 37 inches. 



ROSABELLA (Kleinsorge, 1951) 



Each $3.00 



A rampant growing deep rose-red self, the 

 haft flushed metallic copper. This same cop- 

 pery 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 like- 

 wise very large and held erect. A dominant 

 garden flower with loads of color, very earlv. 

 Height 4 feet. HM AIS, 1952. 



ROSEDALE (Hall, 1952) Each $5.00 



Much ruffled salmon-pink blend, the falls held 

 squarely horizontal. As seedling No. 48-33 it 

 attracted much attention in the Hall garden 

 and we have been repeatedly urged to intro- 

 duce it. A two-year clump is a mass of bloom. 

 Very late, about 30 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1954. 



TRANQUIL MOON with VIBURNUM and ZERBA IRIS LEAVES 



REHOBETH (DeForest, 1953) Each $25.00 



Palest sky-blue . . . almost the lightest shade of blue imaginable! Of 

 such perfect form and thick texture that it appears to be wrought from 

 porcelain. The blooms measure seven inches and over. We have just a 

 few rhizomes. HM AIS, 1954. 



RELENTLESS (Cook, 1948) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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, 1950. 



RICH RAIMENT (Craig, 1949) Each $3.50 



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 stems. HM AIS, 1950.
