RARE WINE (J. Nelson, 70) ML. 34" Each $20.00

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

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

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

 There is a median line down the center of each fall. A giant in 

 Irisdom! 



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



A huge and gorgeous blend of blush pink and deep apricot. I'etals 

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

 within the flowers. HM AIS, 1960. Shown on page 49. 



RETA FRY (Terrell, '66) M. 36" Each $7.50

 branched stalks. HM, 1967. 



ROBERT J. GRAVES (K. Sr^ith, '58) M. Each $1 .00

 four-foot stems are ramrod straight and the branching is perfect. 



ROCKET RUST (Gibsori, '63) ML. 36" Each $2.00 



Falls arc bright rusty copper smoothly blended on a creamy ground, 

 the standards solidly colored rusty copper. Lighter, brighter and 

 much larger than Chinquapin but with some of the same hues and 

 tints found in that fine new plicata. Petals are thick, broad and lightly 

 ruffled. HM AIS, 1964. See page 47. 



ROCOCO (Schreiner, '60) EM. 39" Each $2.00 



Ruffled and fluted, giant plicata of bright blue on clean white, the

 blue encircling a full half inch of the pleated and ruffled border. 

 Beard is deep yellow. Patent No. 2077. HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1962. 

 See page 17. 



RIBBON ROUND (Tompkms, '63) EML. 48" Each $2.00 



Snow white and sharply contrasting blue, surely the most e.xciting 

 plicata of this type to date. Huge in size, moderately ruffled and 

 ideally branched on stems up to 48 inches in height. It is one of 

 the first to come into flower and continues right through the season. 

 HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. Shown on page 33. 



RIPPLING ROSE (Gibsori, '70) M. 36" Each $1 2.50 



Imagine a Rococo or Stepping Out with broadly banded falls of rose- 

 purple, instead of the blue-to-violet trim on those two worthy and 

 popular varieties, and you will have Rippling Rose. The heavily 

 ruffled and fluted blossoms are ivory white in the central area of the 

 falls; the standards are basically white but shaded and mottled with 

 the same rose-purple which borders the falls. Superb branching, on 

 heavy stems. HM, 1971. See page 7. 



ROSE KINGDOM (Wills, '66) M. 34" Each $1 2.50 



This is one of Wills rose-toned Iris. The flowers are wide and flaring 

 with some ruffling. Classed as a rose-pink, well branched, sturdy stalks 

 and heavy substance. 



ROSES IN SNOW (Noyd, '67) ML. 34" Each $5.00 



Clean snow white, with a beard of almost blood red! The contrast is 

 really startling and this Iris is so nearly perfect in every way that few, 

 if any of the whites with red or tangerine beards actually equal it. 

 Huge in size, with lacy petal edges. HM AIS, 1968. 



ROUND DANCE (Wills, '70) M. 34" Each $1 2.50 



Rose-red bitone, standards light rose, flushed bluish, falls bright 

 rose-red, some ruffling, tall and well branched. Proven a good parent. 

 HC, 1969. 



RIPPLING WATERS (Fay, '6?j M. 36" Each $3.00 



Pale bluish-orchid, a shade diflicult to describe but it certainly is not 

 in any sense pink. The very bright tangerine beard, on a creamy 

 ground, creates a dramatic and unusual effect. Big blossoms, flaring 

 falls, with ripples, ruffles and frills. HM AIS, 1962; AM, 1964. Dykes 

 Medal, 1966. Shown on the back cover. 



ROYAL TAPESTRY (Schreiner, '64) ML. 38" Each $4.00

 and imposing in appearance. Of giant size, the ruffled flowers ex- 

 hibit a regal richness and an ember-like glow. Ruffled petals; excellent
