PRESIDENT PILKINGTON, (Cayeux,

fusion; F. wide and flaring lavender 
blue with a buffy yellow suffusion 
paling at margins and yellow vein- 
ing at throat, beard golden yellow.

branching stems. A very sturdy 
grower and rapid increaser with us.

QUIVER A, (J. Sass, ’32). One of the 
most admired blends in our gardens. 
A mingling of buff, pink, yellow, 
orange and brown. S. buff pink; F. 
orange vinaceous striped pink vina- 
ceous. At a short distance it gives 
a bright orange effect. H.M., A.I.S.

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.50c

purple shading to yellow at base: F 
heavy velvety Dahlia purple, the mar¬ 
gin slightly paler. 32 in.50c 
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 
REDLIGHT, (Wayman, ’31). A new 
red toned variety. 28 in.50c 
RED ORCHID, (Jacob Sass, ’34). Our 
reddest intermediate. S. violet car¬ 
mine: F. velvety violet carmine. Dark 
yellow beard. 28 in.$1.00 
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, (Nicholls, ’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. 
36 in. H.M., A.I.S., ’32. $2.50 
RED WING, (H. P. Sass, ’28). S. light 
brownish vinaceous; F. dahlia car¬ 
mine. One of the reddest Irises in 
the garden picture. The flower is of 
perfect shape and stands on tall stiff 
stems. One of our favorites. 3 6 
in.50c 
RHEA, (Wmsn., ’28). S. lobelia violet; 
F. pansy violet. Similar in form and 
stateliness to Isoline, but with great¬ 
er substance in the flower and better 
all around growing habits. 3 6 in. 2 5c 
RHODES, (Bliss, ’29). A magnifi¬ 
cent red-purple, practically a self¬ 
color. S. just a shade lighter than 
the falls with a beautiful silky sheen; 
F. richest velvety purple-crimson, 
very large and massive in substance.

ed; midseason; tall. $7.50

S. dark rich violet; F. purplish black. 
A deeper and richer Archeveque and 
finer than that variety in every way. 
4 0 in.25c 
ROB ROY, (Kirkland, ’31). A red bi¬ 
color of fair size, with flaring falls 
and remarkable texture. The stand¬ 
ards are argyle purple and the falls 
are dahlia carmine. It is worthy of 
a place with the best of the reds 
recently introduced. 36 in.50c 
ROMANCE, (Murrell, ’28). A blend of 
rose flushed with bronze; S. fluted on 
edges; F. flaring. A deeper blend 
than Allure. The effect is a velvety 
rosy-bronze. 36 in.25c 
ROMOLA, (Bliss, ’24). S. pale lilac; 
F. velvety red violet. The center of 
the flower is tinged pale ivory yellow 
and the beard is deep yellow. A most 
lovely Iris in every way. 3 6 in.. .2 5c
