PLURABELLE (Cay. ’33) One of the newer French irises that we have not seen, but that is well 
recommended. The wide S. are a golden yellow,- the F. are darker, flushed with reddish 
mauve, that lightens at the edges. 42". C.M., S.N.H.F. S7.50 
PRAIRIE ROSE (Egel. ’34) A rose from the western prairies, of fresh bright pink that has interesting 
silvery high lights. We hope our little rose will fake more kindly to New England conditions, 
and will show us what she really is. 36".. $6.00 
PRECIOUS JADE (Win.) What else could it be but precious, with S. such a buttercup yellow, 
the F. of white, all trimmed with the same,- with the beard so orange on the many, medium 
sized blooms; with its low, well branched stems that carry late flowers. 32". $3.00 
PRES. PILKINGTON (Cay. ’31) English in name, French in origin, a cosmopolitan in its blend of 
colors, this iris of buff and lavender, with the prominent orange beard, ranks as one of the 
world’s best. Larger than Dolly Madison, the falls lavender toned, rather than blue, this 
is a vigorous and sturdy iris. 46". Special Award, Paris ’31. $1.50 
PROP. S. B. MITCHELL (Cay. ’33) In naming this iris, Mons. Cayeux has honored one of our fore¬ 
most and best loved originators. “A sumpfiously warm colored enormous flower of the deep¬ 
est purplish-red tones." The arched S. are clear in tone,- the F. appear darker because of 
the intense velvety texture. The flower is perfection of form and substance, as is the strong 
stalk. 42". Special Prize, Paris, ’33... $12.50 
PURPLE GIANT (Gage ’33) Deep blue-purple flowers of enormous size on very tall stalks. This 
iris surprised us as one of the largest, most outstanding dark blue-purple irises. It was so mar¬ 
velous here last season, that the orders far exceeded the supply. 38". $3.00 
RAE (Loth. ’32) A yellow bicolor, clear and luminous, with fine texture and good substance. 36". 
H.M., A.I.S. ’32... 3 for $1.75; $0.75 
RAMESES (H. P. Sass ’29) Rules the iris world, even as the first Rameses ruled a mighty people; 
and the many descendents of the iris are proving as notable as were those of the ancient king. 
No iris excels in growth and vigor,- of excellent foliage and certain to bloom. A miraculous 
soft blend of russet with yellow, of pink with blue and apricot. The flowers are of excellent 
size and substance on strong, medium height stems. 36". Dykes Medal ’32. 
3 for $1.50; $0.75 
RED BEAUTY (Gage ’33) A red red! The F. of this iris are reported to be the reddest of any 
iris to date, with no sign of purple. The S. are dark venacious purple, with a bright orange 
beard. Form, texture and substance are all fine. 30". $ 2.00 
RED COMET (McKee ’36) Mr. McKee has brought a comet into our gardens, rather than leaving 
it moving in space, millions of miles away from us. And — it’s a red comet! So mar- 
® velously rich and glowing in the deep copper-red color with a brown undertone, that 
it is visible from far across the garden. Furthermore, believe it or not, you can touch 
this Red Comet! The large blooms of fine form have semi-flaring falls whose velvety 
\| texture and intense color is intensified by the yellow beard. H.M., A.I.S.’35. $20.00 
RED DOMINION (Ayres ’31) This is a highly praised iris, and worthy of the praise, when it finds 
the ideal spot. (We have never been able to do so!) An oxblood red self, with velvety 
horizontal falls. H.M., A.I.S. ’31. $3.00 
RED FLARE (Mill. ’32) Our New England soil sends this stalk too high for the medium sized blooms. 
A rather intense red, claimed to be fine on the Coast. 42". H.M., A.I.S. 3 for $1.50; $0.75 
REDGLOW (Essig ’34) A stately iris, whose flaring F. glow with rich red velvet. The S. are slightly
