RED RADIANCE (Grint.-Kell. ’32) The radiance of this red iris permeates the entire garden. 
Add "est" to the description of any other good red iris: — that's what we think! And you’ll 
say it when you see it. A deeper red than Dauntless; the flowers almost a self, rich and vel¬ 
vety, with flaring falls, flushed a slightly deeper tone. Well shaped blooms on fairly well 
branched stems of medium height, and a very rampant grower. This heads the list of medium 
priced red irises. H.M., A.I.S. '32.3 for $4.75/ $2.00 
RED ROBE (Nich. ’31) The last of the reds to bloom, but not the least. Large flowers of a pleasing 
ruby-red, with domed S. and circular velvety F., have good substance. The bloom itself is a 
winner in color and shape, but here the stem is too short. 38". H.M., A.I.S. ’32. $2.50 
ROBERT (Ayres-Emig. ’33) A choice yellow iris, chosen by Mrs. Emigholz to perpetuate the name 
of her son, an iris lover and grower. ”A beautiful light yellow with a sparkling iridescence in 
the sunlight.” The large flowers have pale amber S. with a slight tan overcast; the F. are 
the same with a pale blue flush. They are of fine substance on tali stately stems. 36". $7.50 
ROB ROY (Kirk. ’31) You come early, Robbie, and are vigorous and sturdy and showy and bring 
lots of joy. A rich maroon-red color of medium height. 36".$0.75 
RONDA (M. M. ’32) The brightest red from the Pacific coast; a flower that has fine texture and 
is beautifully proportioned. 30".3 for $1.85/ $0.75 
ROSE ASH (Mor. ’30) After some years’ of lingering almost unnoticed in the garden ,last season 
this iris jumped into sudden favor. The flowers, of a queer soft lavender, all shot with rosy 
lights, are large and on tall stems. 36".3 for $1.75/ $0.75 
ROSE DOMINION (Conn. ’31) The dom(e), rosy in the sunlight; the flat roof (horizontal falls) on 
which is spread a carpet of deeper rose velvet, make Rose Dominion matchless in color and 
form. The iris is practically a deep rose pink self, the extreme velvety texture of the falls in¬ 
tensifying the absolutely distinct color. 27". FH.M., A.I.S. 32.$1.50 
ROSEMONT (HalI ’34) The flowers are a rosier lighter red than Dauntless; they are large and 
on widely branched, 40" stems.$5.00 
ROSE PETAL (Mur. ’29) Fallen petals of a clear pink rose, gathered together into an alert and 
pleasing pink iris. Slightly deeper in tone than the older Aphrodite, this iris lacks the white 
throat of that one. 36".3 for $1.45/ $0.65 
ROSY ASIA (Mitch. ’34) Reported to be, as the name implies, a pinker edition of Asia. The form 
is also greatly improved, with broader petals. We have no report as to the upstanding qual¬ 
ities of the stem.$1.00 
ROSY GLOW (Emig. ’35) In effect, a deep rosy plicata; in actuality, the S. are so deeply flushed 
with light violet as to appear a solid color; the F. of ivory white are edged and lightly 
stippled with purple. 28".$0.75 
ROYAL BEAUTY (McKee ’32) This IS a royal beauty! the clear intense medium blue of the S. is 
repeated slightly deepened in tone, in the F., that are an unusually lustrous velvet. The flower 
carries itself royally, too, and is tall, well branched, with many blooms. 48". A.M., A.I.S. 
’32.$1.50 
ROYAL SALUTE (Mill. ’34) Fly your colors of rich deep violet-blue — we’ll salute you with — 
how many guns for royalty? The blooms are slightly more blue than those of Gaudichau, 
larger and on taller stems. They also have great carrying quality, making the iris very effective 
for mass planting.$3.50 
RUBEO (M. M. ’31) The broad-petaled flowers of glistening rose and deep maroon are huge and 
finely poised, but are seldom seen in our garden. Many of us long for sunny climes; this iris 
needs them! 48".$1.50
