CARL SALBACH 
Prof. S. B. Mitchell (Gayeux 1933). A new 
French variety just released this season. A 
simply huge red-violet iris which attracted 
much attention in our trial bed of the newest 
iris. Very popular. Named for Sydney 
Mitchell, one of, if not the most distinguished 
American iris hybridists.$12.50 
Purissima {Mohr-Mitchell ). This splendid 
flower still sets a mark of perfection and 
purity unequalled by any other iris. A pure 
white of great poise, fine form and heavy 
substance. With the sun shining through it, 
this has the appearance of frosted glass. 
Ideal branching. See illustration. 
.50c; 3 for $1.25 
Querida {Mohr-Mitchell 1930 ). Almost exactly 
of Afterglow coloring, but twice as large and 
of better shape and substance. The delicate 
pinkish lavender flowers, with style branches, 
beard and hafts all flushed yellow, give a 
warm pastel effect. A persistent fall-bloomer 
in California. 42".40c; 3 for $1.00 
Rameses ( Sass ). A very rich gold, pink, and 
apricot blend, one of the finest, and a Dykes 
Medal winner. Plants vigorous and hardy, 
stems branching and full of bloom. 36". 
.$1.25; 3 for $3.00 
Realm {Baker). A very fine periwinkle blue. 
Late. Good branching. First Class Cert. R. 
H. S. 40".25c; 3 for 50c 
Rayo de Sol {Mohr-Mitchell). A bright deep 
yellow with flowers slightly larger than Mira- 
sol, its sister seedling. 36"_40c; 3 for $1.00 
Red Wing {Sass). A big bronzy red very much 
like Allies in color, but much larger and 
taller. One of the most attractive of the 
moderately priced reds.40c; 3 for $1.00 
Rialgar {Sturtevant). A very fine flowering 
iris of splendid carrying quality. Deepest 
buttercup yellow with bronze striping on 
flaring falls. 24".25c; 3 for 50c 
Rita. Blue.15c; 3 for 30c 
Rob Roy {Kirkland 1931). This fine iris, which 
merits a place among the best reds on form, 
color, etc., alone, is of great additional value 
because it is such an early bloomer, being 
the first big red to show color in our garden. 
Dominating color is bordeaux, a color of 
great carrying quality. Texture excellent and 
does not fade.50c; 3 for $1.25 
Romola {Bliss). Bi-color of pale lilac stand¬ 
ards and velvety red violet falls. Free flower¬ 
ing and exceedingly beautiful. Fragrant. 
40".25c; 3 for 50c 
Ronda {Mohr-Mitchell). A ruby red iris that 
is the brightest we have seen. Heavy texture 
and beautifully proportioned. A most color¬ 
ful clump, for the color carries clear across 
the garden.$1;00; 3 for $2.50 
Rosado {Mohr). A beautiful clear soft pink, 
tall and a strong grower. 40"...20c; 3 for 40c 
Rose Mitchell {Essig). A lovely rose colored 
self. 48".50c; 3 for $1.25 
Roseway. A bright rose pink with vivid orange 
beard.20c; 3 for 40c 
Rosy Asia {Mitchell 1934). A pinker edition 
of Asia, with broader falls and fine full form. 
A most delicate and delightful blend which 
is at its best under electric light. Large 
blooms. 
Falls pale Chinese violet, flushed deeper 
in center, with warm lilac standards and 
bright yellow beard. An iris which should 
be of great interest to breeders, as Mr. 
Mitchell has himself been using it in his 
breeding for pinks.$1.50 
Rosultra {Essig). A rose colored iris that 
makes a good garden clump as it has fine 
carrying qualities. 40".35c; 3 for 70c 
Rubeo {Mohr-Mitchell 1931). A magnificent 
plant with huge flowers beautifully poised 
on strong stems 48" high. It begins to branch 
half way up the stem, sending out good wide 
branches. The standards are deep glistening 
rose, the broad thick textured falls are of deep 
maroon. The color cut, page 11, does not 
show the full, velvety richness that char¬ 
acterizes the falls.$2.50; 3 for $6.00 
Sacramento {Mohr-Mitchell 1929). This pli- 
cata, though related to San Francisco and of 
comparable size and habit, is absolutely dis¬ 
tinct from anything previously introduced. 
Its large flowers have a white ground, the 
standards heavily edged red purple, the falls 
reticulated with the same color. The promi¬ 
nent orange beard, unusual in plicatas, lights 
up the flowers in a most attractive way. 
.75c; 3 for $2.00 
San Francisco {Mohr-Mitchell). Tall stems, 
branching low and wide like a candelabrum, 
carry large white flowers, of which both 
standards and falls are distinctly edged lav¬ 
ender. In size, shape and substance, there 
is nothing to approach it among the older 
plicatas, only the color pattern tells us it 
should be classed with them. Awarded Dykes 
Memorial Medal as best American introduc¬ 
tion of 1927. Similar to Los Angeles but with 
wider blue edging.50c each 
San Diego {Mohr-Mitchell 1929). This deriva¬ 
tive of Gaudichau and El Capitan is identi¬ 
cal in color with the former and in size and 
shape with the latter. Its immense blooms 
are of deep velvety blue-purple. Stems 46". 
H. M., A. I. S., 1931.50c each 
San Gabriel {Dean). A very large pinkish lav¬ 
ender of high excellence adding to its other 
merits the virtue of being early and long 
blooming. Branching, and very graceful. 
Fragrant. 60".25c; 3 for 50c 
San Luis Rey {Mohr-Mitchell 1928). A large 
violet-red iris of beautifully rounded form 
and rich heavy substance, set off by a golden 
beard and a yellow center.20c; 3 for 40c 
San Rafael {Mohr-Mitchell). A dark red violet 
that attracts attention clear across the gar¬ 
den. An overtone of black, lit by a yellow 
beard, adds to the richness of color. Stand¬ 
ards domed, and falls broad and flaring. 
Early. 38".40c; 3 for $1.00
