REMEMBRANCE (Hall, 1942) Each ^2.00 



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

 appears to be tJhe 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 ^15.00 



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 ^10.00 



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 "tien-gallon" hat, hence the name. 



ROSARIO (Thole, 1939) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



Beautiful ochraeous 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. Form is broadly flaring, very 

 large in size; 40 inches tall. 



ROSE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, 1947) Each ^10.00 



The picture on page 33 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. 



ROYAL SCOT (Hall, 1944) Each ^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, 



RUBIENT (Whiting, 1942) Each ^1.50 



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. Note the picture on page 33. 



RUTH POLLOCK (H. Sass, 1939) Each 50c 



One of the most beautiful and most popular of all the Sass Plicatas. 

 A smooth, light yellow very heavily patterned and peppered reddish 

 purple. The flower is near perfection in all details, very low branched, 

 a heavy bloomer. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1941. 



SABLE (Cook, 1938) Each ^LOO; 3 for ^2.50 



Almost black ; a uniform 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 gnd a wonderfully lustrous 

 sheen. Everybody wants Sable.' HM AIS. 1937; AM, 1940. See page 

 20. 



SALAMONIE (Cook, 1946) Each ^9.00 



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

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

 garden effect, the flowers holding their color well in any weather. 

 Standards light pinkish cinnamon; falls light Congo-pink; flowers 5 

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



ROSE TOP (H. Sass, 1941) Each ^3.50 



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. 



Arctic 



SALAR (Deforest, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



Creamy flesh entirely dominated by an overlay of salmon. A difficult 

 Iris to describe but the color effect is that of salmon. As large as 

 Happy Days and about the same form. Height over 3 feet. HM AIS, 

 1941. 



SAN ANTONE (Kleinsorge, 1947) Each ^10.00 



lllusirated on page 35. A deep tan or sand-brown self, imposing in 

 size and manner of growth, with extra broad falls and beautiful form. 

 The immense buds unfold into huge flowers perfectly spaced, many 

 to the stem. Just enough ruffling to lend grace. HM AIS, 1948.
