Lorna Lee $2.50 



RADIANT APOGEE (Gibson, '66) M. 36" $3.50 

 If would be difficult to conjure up a more colorful or "attention 

 getting" Iris than this. While a member of the plicata line, of course, 

 it is devoid of much in the way of dots and stitches peculiar to its 

 kinfolk. Standards are solid, bright deep yellow, with no markings. 

 Falls are clear white in the center, banded deep gold with some 

 brownish markings high on the haft. Beard is deep orange. Ruffled 

 and well branched. Shown on page 34. HM, '67; AM, 69. 



RAINBOW GOLD (Plough, '60) M. 34" $1.00 

 Intense buttercup yellow, heavily laced and crimped at the margins, 

 with an almost red beard. One of the very best and most popular. 

 Large flowers. HM, '60; AM, '62. See page 55. 



RARE WINE (J. Nelson, '70) ML. 34" $12.50 



Here is something of stunning proportions— width of petals, overall 

 stature— so much so that visitors to the Nelson garden could scarcely 

 believe their eyes. A Wine and Roses combination, with rose-lavender 

 standards and wine-red falls bordered same color as the standards. 

 There is a medium line down the center of each fall. See page 15. 



RASPBERRY RAPTURE (Gibson, '62) E. 40" $2.00 

 The color is especially clean and sparkling and many others of similar 

 shade look dull by comparison. One of the first to bloom. Large flow- 

 ers, with tangrine beard. Shown on page 55. 



RASPBERRY RIPPLES (Niswonger, '69) M. 36" $5.00 



Deep mulberry rose with a red beard. Semi-flared with some ruffling 

 and very good substance. Fine plant proportion with four way branch- 

 ing and a vigorous grower. AM, '72. 



REAL DELIGHT (Wafers, '60) M. 38" $2.00 

 A huge and gorgeous blend of blush pink and deep apricot. Petals 

 are broad and thick in texture, the falls flaring and supporting a 

 heavy, bright red-orange beard. There is a greenish chartreuse glow 

 within the flowers. HM, '60. Shown on page 41. 



RED GINGER (Boushay, '72) EM. 32" $10.00 



Oxblood red self with a distinct burnt orange beard. The texture of 

 dark red velvet. The rich flaring falls have ideal form. Heavy sub- 

 stance.
