PLUIE D'OR (Golden Rain) 



A beautiful iris, on slender, perfectly branched 

 stems well over three feet tall. Fine rounded flowers 

 of solid golden yellow, with deep yellow beard. Win- 

 ner of the Dykes medal in France, it has proven an 

 outstanding variety of this color both in Europe and 

 America, reliable as to hardiness, rapid of increase, 

 and very free flowering. 



Each 35c; three for $1.00; $2.50 per 10 



PRESIDENT PILKINGTON 



A very lovely pastel blend, which at one time 

 bore the appropriate name of "Apparition". When 

 Mr. Mead saw it blooming in France, he described 

 the color as "a lavender-blue elephant tone", suf- 

 fused with bronze. A huge flower, the stalks splen- 

 didly branched to 4 feet tall. 



Standards are pale buff, with faint bluish and 

 slightly rosy east. Falls, wide and flaring lavender- 

 blue with buffy yellow suffusion paling at the mar- 

 gins. Beard golden yellow. See page 21. 



Each $2.50 ; three for $6.00 



PURISSIMA 



If you live in the Pacific Northwest, in California 

 or in the South, by all means add this glorious white 

 to your collection ! Nothing that grows can compare 

 with it when flowered under congenial conditions. 

 Growers in colder and wetter sections of the coun- 

 try can also succeed with it, but it must have win- 

 ter protection except in warm climates. A normally 

 flowered stalk of Purissima is a never-to-be-forgot- 

 ten sight, Each 50c ; three for $1.25 



QUERIDA 



A warm pastel effect in pinkish lavender, with 

 style branches, beard and hafts all flushed yellow. 

 Somewhat the coloring of the old Afterglow, but 

 twice as large. Sometimes blooms in fall in Cali- 

 fornia. Each 35c 



RAMESES 



The 1932 Dykes Medal winner in America. A 

 symphony in rose, pink, and buff, shading to yellow 

 near the edges, and with a yellow glow at the heart. 

 Heavy apricot beard. 36 inches and over in height, 

 gracefully branched. This is the first year this famous 

 iris has been available at a popular price. Shown in 

 color on page 25. Each 75c ; three for $2.00 



RED DOMINION 



A deep velvety garnet-red, produced by Dr. Ayres. 

 While the standards are a shade lighter than the 

 falls, it is practically a self in effect — a piece of rich 

 red velvet. The buds are particularly striking. 



H. M. AIS 1931. Each $3.00 



RED ROBE 



An enormous bloom of perfect shape and habit, 

 considered by Col. Nicholls as the finest iris he has 

 ever turned out. Standards deep petunia-violet, 

 domed. Falls deep red-violet, uniformly colored to 

 the edge. Yellow beard. The flower is of splendid 

 rounded shape, a brilliant, glowing iris that lights 

 up in the garden like a huge ruby. H. M. AIS 1932. 



Each $5.00 



REDWING 



One of the Sass varieties in bright reddish-brown. 

 A perfectly formed flower of splendid size, three feet 

 in height, of unquestioned hardiness and reliability. 



Each 35c 



RHEA 



Something of the coloring found in the old Iso- 

 line, but a flower of highest merit and stateliness. 

 Tawny light violet, overlaid buff. This seedling from 

 the Longfield Iris Farm has never been accorded the 

 popularity it deserves. 



Each 40c; three for $1.00 



RHEINGAUPERLE 



A pink of the utmost beauty and distinction. To 

 see it is to want it. Petals are edged with silver. 



Each 35c; three for $1.00 



RHEINTOCHTER 



There is a dearth of irises with white standards 

 and blue falls, but this ranks at the very top. The 

 falls are edged with Avhite, lending a gay note. This 

 is the tallest as well as the largest in" this color group, 

 and in addition is a vigorous grower. Each 50c 



ROSAKURA 



A Williamson introduction of high merit, the 

 name of which means "Rising Sun". Like our old and 

 true friend, Morning Splendor, this iris needs to be 

 seen with the sun behind it to appear at its best. Then 

 the rosy standards and the rich red-purple falls take 

 on a magnificence and splendor that is a joy to 

 behold. Each 40c ; three for $1.00 



RUBEO 



An outstanding red from California, of huge size, 

 excellent branching habit, and four feet in height, 

 Standards are deep glistening rose, falls deep 

 maroon of heavy velvety texture. The finest red 

 among Mohr-Mitchell introductions. 



Each $2.50 ; three for $6.00 



RUSTY GOLD 



Another outstanding American introduction. An 

 orange-bronze blend, flushed copper red. This is a 

 particularly vivid iris, and is invaluable for garden 

 effect. One of the newer shades that is largely 

 responsible for the growing popularity of the iris. 

 Vigorous in growth, hardy, and over three feet tall. 



Each $2.00 



SACHEM 



A glorified King Tut, grown by Dr. Loomis. Glori- 

 ous in richest tones of red-brown, of heavy velvety 

 texture. Falls are especially brilliant. Each $1.75 



SACRAMENTO 



A plicata of the San Francisco type, but with 

 reddish brown dots and reticulations instead of the 

 usual blue or lavender. Ground color is a creamy 

 white. A very tall variety, the large flowers being 

 produced on well branched stems. This is another 

 iris which was given one of the highest awards of 

 the Iris Society in 1931, an H. M. It is probably 

 even more dependable in unfavorable climates than 

 are many of the other California productions. 



Each 75c ; three for $2.00
