West Hartford, Conn 
11 
RED CROSS (Klein. '38) As far reaching as its name, with its 
bright rose-red and white coloring. The standards are a 
solid rose-red; the falls the same, but striped with white. 36". 
$3.00 
ST. LOUIS (Wies. '33) St. Louis, in Hartford, is the deepest possible 
blue-purple self of an even tone, that seems alive. Everything is in 
keeping — size, height, carriage, beauty, growth and floriferousness 
are A No. 1. 40". Early. $.50 
REDGLOW (Essig. '34) Plant this Redglow next to yellows to com¬ 
plete the fireside picture of red and yellow flames. The flaring falls 
are a rich velvety red, with a lick of yellow flare, the beard. The 
somewhat lighter standards harmonize with added warmth. 36". To 
sit beside this warm fire will cost you — $.60 
SABLE (Cook '38) A deep colored self between blue-purple and 
red-purple, with a brilliance that catches your eye and 
makes you gasp as to its reality. The large flowers have 
pleasing shape, good texture, superb substance, and are 
eight, on low-branched, 40" stalks. $20.00 
RED RADIANCE (Grint. '34) Look! Red Radiance revels in a rich 
warm red glow, deeper than Dauntless and practically a self — and 
you will revel in it too. The velvetiness of the semi-flaring falls makes 
them slightly deeper in tone. A "good doer" and the red you have 
been looking for. H.M. '32. $.50 
SAHARA (Pilk. '36) A clear superb primrose yellow self of perfect 
form. The rounded standards, flaring falls, smooth texture, long 
golden beard, broad haft, veined with gold, and the excellent 
branching, all combine to make this iris a medal winner. Dykes' 
Medal, England, 1935; A.M. '38. $5.00 
RED ROBE (Nic. '31) A good ruby red, that is late. 30". $.50 
RED SAILS (Laph. '37) Red sails across the garden, red sails 
across the water — both attract immediate attention. The good sized 
flowers have chestnut standards with a red flush, and falls of the 
same, overlaid with velvety red. A strong 38" mast holds the sails 
out full. $10.00 
RHAPSODY (Wmsn. '37) This time a symphony in violet-purple and 
brown. The flower is of heavy substance and fine form. Late. $9.00 
ROBERT (Ayres-Emig. '33) Super-fine gold, given to us on an iris 
of outstandingly good proportions. The large, lovely, perfectly 
shaped flowers have pale amber cupped standards with a slight tan 
overcast. The broad flaring falls with wide hafts, have some blue at 
the centers. Excellent substance and thick texture give added char¬ 
acter to this notably poised and stately iris. 38". H.M. '36. $1.25 
ROSARIO (Thole '38) Tourmaline pink with gold suffusions extend¬ 
ing from the heart of the flower into the falls. A deep yel¬ 
low beard enriches this pleasing rose blend. 40". $6.00 
ROSE DOMINION (Conn. '31) This dominates the deep rose-pinks, 
with its velvety horizontal falls. The beard is soft gold. 32". $.50 
SALUTATION (D. Hall '38) Salutations are indeed in order! And 
we offer ours, very sincerely, to Mr. Hall, for this large, 
pearly yellow near-self. The almost-overlapping standards 
are crinkled; the falls seem a tone lighter, except for the 
gold haft and a hint of a deeper gold edge. The beard on the broad 
haft is deep orange. 33". Early. $10.00 
SANDALWOOD (H. Sass '37) As a wood, it comes from India; as 
an iris, it comes to us with vinaceous fawn standards and falls of 
army brown. A satiny texture adds beauty to this large, well-formed, 
well-carried bloom. 34' '. $5.00 
SEADEEP (Thole '37) All the blue from the depth of the sea has 
been brought together into this charming two-toned blue iris, which 
gives in mass, an intense blue effect. The standards are a deep 
blue, the falls a royal blue. A long blooming season, retention of 
color, fast growth and good form, combine to make Seadeep most 
attractive, on its well branched 40" stems. $5.00 
SEDUCTION (Cay. '33) Seduction is a most delightful ivory-white 
plicata, dainty and yet solid in its lofty site. The large, exceptioncilly 
full rounded blooms have standards of white, feathered with deep 
blue, and falls sanded and powdered with brown-lilac at the base, 
merging into the same deep lilac at the margins. A.M. '37. $2.25 
ROSEMONT (Hall '34) A rich bronzy rose-red Rose Mounted on 
widely branched 40" stems. The large rounded standards are a 
coppery rose-red, and the falls are a deeper rich velvety red. 40". 
$ 1.00 
ROSY WINGS (Gage '35) An iris that has safely glided into our 
joyous hearts, and into the hall of fame, with its deep pink standards 
surrounded with copper, and its wings, half-spread, of deep rose, 
bordered with copper. 40". H.M. '34. $7.00 
ROYAL SALUTE (Mill. '34) Salute this royalty in magnificent robes 
of deep blue-purple, with touches of yellow — the beards. The 
large, broad petaled, full up-and-down flowers are near seifs and 
are held vridely apart to display their rich, dark blue-purple color 
most advantageously. 38". $.75 
RUBEO (M.M. '31) This huge iris of glistening rose and deep ma¬ 
roon ruby-red, has broad surfaces and is a marvelous value for such 
refined quality. 48". $.50 
RUSSET GOWN (Wms. '37) A fine buff and brown bicolor, of real 
russet effect and with velvety texture. $3.00 
SEPTEMBER DAWN (Nic. '34) This iris gives an orange effect, 
produced by a suffusion of yellow and crimson, with the petals 
crimson-edged. An autumn coloring, indeed! 26". $.50 
SERENITE (Cay. '31) Ladies' Special! This soft blue and gold 
blend gives a serene and peaceful moment among the bright excite¬ 
ments of the garden. The buff-yellow standards have a faint haze of 
blue-lavender; the wide-flaring falls of clean pastel blue, shade to 
soft yellow at the edges and throat. The large, crinkled flowers have 
fine substance. 38". $.50 
SESOSTRIS (Cay. '31) Not a legendary Egyptian monarch, but a 
very impressive lively dark iris. The standards are a dark purple; 
the falls garnet-red, conspicuously margined with clear violet. 
Large, well-formed flowers of heavy substance stand sternly on 
strong stems. 38". $.65 
SETTING SUN (Kirk. '37) One of those evenings when the entire 
sky is a fiery glow, and the setting sun is a huge red ball. A delight¬ 
ful color — rose-copper standards with yellow near the bright yellow 
midrib. The dark velvety falls are a pleasing shade of rust with a 
blackish shade over all. 32". $7.00
