RIVERVIEW GARDENS 
Saint Paul, Minn 
PICADOR, (Morrison). 40 in. S. hon¬ 
ey yellow, mustard at throat; F. min¬ 
eral red. This undoubtedly is one of 
the three best yellow variega- 
tas .75c 
PINK OPAL, (Sass, 2 8-12). This is a 
sister seedling of Pink Satin. A fine, 
uniform shade of pink. Tall and 
lovely. 50 in.50c 
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., ’31.50c 
PIRATE GOLD, (Wayman, ’31). A me¬ 
dium toned yellow. 34 in.25c 
PLUIE d’OR, (Cayeux, ’28). The first 
large flowering, dark yellow Iris of 
value put into commerce. A deep 
chrome to cadmium yellow self. Rich 
orange beard. Many branched strong 
firm stems bearing neat pure yellow 
flowers in great numbers. 36 in. 
Dykes Medal, ’28.25c 
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 .50c 
QUIVERA, (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. 
’31 .25c 
RAMESES, (H. P. Sass, ’29). The 193 2 
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.25c 
RASAKURA, (Wmsn., ’30). S. rose 
purple shading to yellow at base; F. 
heavy velvety Dahlia purple, the mar¬ 
gin slightly paler. 3 2 in.3 5c 
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 .50c 
RED ORCHID, (Jacob Sass, ’34). Our 
reddest intermediate. S. violet car¬ 
mine; F. velvety violet carmine. Dark 
yellow beard. 28 in.25c 
RED RADIANCE, (Grinter, ’32). “A 
velvety self redder and brighter than 
Dauntless; tall and well branched 
with well formed large flowers.” 
H.M., A.I.S., ’32.50c 
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., ’32.75c 
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.35c 
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. 
36 in.2 for 2 5c 
ROBERT, (Ayres). Large flowered, soft 
blended yellow with a blue flush in 
the center of the falls; well branch¬ 
ed; midseason; tall. $2.00 
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. 3 6 in.2 5c
