Saint Paul, Minn. 
PERSIA, (Ayres, ’29). S. smoky blue; 
P. rich purple blue in the center 
shading to a much paler hue at the 
margin. A beautiful flower with a 
glistening silky texture. Outstanding 
in every way. We highly recommend 
Persia as an ideal variety. 48 
in.$1.00 
PHEBUS, (Cayeux, ’30). Not as deep 
a yellow as Pluie d’Or, but a uni¬ 
form light lemon color. Phebus is 
quite different in form from the other 
light yellows. Flowers rounded in 
form and well poised on tall well 
branched spikes. 3 6 in. C.M., 
S.N.H.F.$1.00 
PICADOR, (Morrison). 40 in. S. hon¬ 
ey yellow, mustard at throat; F. min¬ 
eral red. This undoubtedly is one of 
the three best yellow variegatas. We 
rank Crown Prince first and this 
variety second in this particular 
class, though the two are entirely 
different, Picador being of lighter 
tones. It cannot be recommended too 
highly, and we assure you that you 
will like this variety when it blooms 
in your garden.$1.00 
PINK SATIN, (J. Sass, ’30). A very 
delicate and smooth mauve of lilac 
pink. While it is not pink, it may 
be considered so for all garden pur¬ 
poses. It is, in my opinion, the near¬ 
est approach to pink; but it still car¬ 
ries some of the purple pigments that 
up to the present time the breeder 
has been unable to remove. We 
highly recommend it as a fine hardy 
Iris. 42 in. H.M., A.I.S., ’31. . $2.00 
PRESIDENT PILKINGTON, (Cayeux, 
’31). A very large flower of excellent 
form and glorious blendings of colors. 
S. pale buff with a faint bluish suf¬ 
fusion; F. wide and flaring lavender 
blue with a buffy yellow suffusion 
paling at margins and yellow vein- 
ing at throat, beard golden yellow. 
A magnificent Iris, vigorous, sturdy 
branching stems. A very sturdy 
grower and rapid increaser with us. 
48 in. C.M., S.N.H.F., and Special 
Prize for one of the three best Iris, 
’31 .$2.00 
RAMESES, (H. P. Sass, ’29). The 1932 
American Dykes Medal winner—the 
highest award that can be given any 
Iris. A vigorous, healthy grower in 
all parts of the country and a fast 
increaser and free bloomer. In color, 
pink and rose toned blend. S. light 
russet vinaceous with yellow glow at 
the center; F. flaring to drooping, 
tourmaline pink. Heavy apricot 
beard. A big blend of yellow and 
tourmaline pink attracting immediate 
admiration. 36 in. H.M., A.I.S. 
’31 .75c 
RED DOMINION, (Ayres, ’31). Only a 
few years ago there were no tall 
bearded Irises worthy of the name 
red. There are now a number of 
them. Red Dominion is one of the 
finest, but not the reddest, however. 
The standards are rich red toned 
with a slight indication of purple. 
The falls are gorgeously rich, ap¬ 
proaching the oxblood red of Ridge¬ 
way. A velvety, lustrous deep red 
in the sunlight. 42 in. H.M., A.I.S. 
’31 $3.00 
RED ORCHID, (Jacob Sass, ’34). Our 
reddest intermediate. S. violet car¬ 
mine; F. velvety violet carmine. Dark 
yellow beard. 28 in.$1.50 
RED RADIANCE, (Grinter, ’32). “A 
velvety self redder and brighter than 
Dauntless; tall and well branched 
with well formed large flowers.” This 
variety comes to us highly recom¬ 
mended, but it has not bloomed in 
our gardens so as we may pass judg¬ 
ment on it. H.M., A.I.S., ’32. . .$2.00 
RED ROBE, (Nicliolls, ’31). Another 
of the fine new red varieties. S. very 
deep petunia violet, beautifully 
domed; F. intense deep velvety black¬ 
ish red violet, uniformly colored to 
the very edge; beard bright yellow. 
The general effect is a clear rich red. 
3 6 in. H.M., A.I.S., ’32.$4.00 
ROBERT, (Ayres). Large flowered, soft 
blended yellow with a blue flush in 
the center of the falls; well branch¬ 
ed; midseason; tall.$10.00 
ROB ROY, (Kirkland, ’31). A red bi¬ 
color of fair size, with flaring falls 
and remarkable texture. The st°nd- 
ards are argyle purple and the . 
are dahlia carmine. It is worth} 
a place with the best of the \ s 
recently introduced. 3 6 in.$z 
ROSE PETAL, (Murrell, ’2 9). A bri 0 h. 
clear, deep pink self. It is consid¬ 
erably deeper in color than Aphrodite 
and has no white flush on the falls. 
The flowers are large and of excep¬ 
tionally good substance. The beard is 
white, tipped yellow. Sweetly scent¬ 
ed. 48 in.. . $2.00
