Tall Bearded Iris (Continued) 
fact I like it better than San Francisco on account of its more 
prominent marking .20

HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS; ALSO AWARDED A SIL¬ 
VER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND and an AWARD 
OF MERIT BY THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY IN 1938. A new 
superb clear primrose yellow of uniform color throughout. A 
flower of perfect form and great refinement. 5.00 
St. Louis —40 in. An exceedingly rich blue-violet bi-color. S—

Sandakan —36 in. A very lovely tan and purple bi-color. 10 
San Diego— 46 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY. HUGE FLOWcRS OF DEEP BLUE AND MY OWN CHOICE 
OF ALL THE DEEP BLUES REGARDLESS OF PRICE. The flowers 
are of superb form and freely produced on Tall flowering

San Francisco —44 in. EARLY. WINNER OF THE DYKES ME¬ 
MORIAL MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS. One 
of the largest and finest Irises in the “Plicata” type, marking 
a new era in this group. White with a feather-stitch edging 
of lavender blue. SOLD A FEW YEARS AGO FOR $35.00 
FOR A SINGLE PLANT, but an extra fine stock of magnificent 
plants now enables me to offer it at a price that is within 
the reach of all.20 
Santa Barbara— 40 in. THIS FINE AMERICAN INTRODUCTION 
HAD THE DISTINCTION OF RECEIVING AN AWARD OF MERIT 
FROM THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. 
It is one of the finest of the pure lavender-blues, of gigantic 
size and perfect form. The color illustration on page 17, which 
is about half actual size, does not begin to do it justice, as it 
does not show the purity of the blue color of this variety. It 
must be seen to be appreciated.15 
Santa Clara —36 in. EARLY. This is just as fine a flower as Santa 
Barbara, but in a different blue, being a pure, clear periwinkle 
blue. The flowers are large and perfectly formed, with beauti¬ 
fully ruffled flaring falls. It is a real gem.20 
Rosemont —40 in. FRAGRANT. A new Iris by Hall, whose intro¬ 
ductions are uniformly excellent. Rosemont has lilac standards 
and rich velvety pansy-purple falls, the general effect being a 
very rich bronzy rose red, being different in tone from other 
Irises . 1.00 
Rose of Cuba —30 in. I have always been very fond of this va¬ 
riety, but my stock has not permitted offering it for several years. 
In effect it is an unusually bright rose-pink, unlike any other 
Iris in color tone. It is a flower of good shape, fine poise and 
makes an excellent color mass in the garden.35 
Rose Petal —48 in. SWEETLY SCENTED. CLEAR, UNIFORM, DEEP 
ROSE-PETAL PINK. SOLD IN 1932 AT $20.00 FOR A SINGLE 
PLANT. A very lovely Iris of which I now have sufficient stock 
to make a very low price.20 
Rosy Wings— 40 in. FRAGRANT. HONORABLE MENTION AND 
AWARD OF MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. A new light 
brown effect, being a blending of brown, red and pink, with a 
conspicuous orange beard. 5.00 
Royal Beauty —40 in. HONORABLE MENTION AND AWARD OF 
MERIT AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. ONE OF THE FINEST AMERI¬ 
CAN INTRODUCTIONS. A huge velvety deep-blue flower of 
perfect form and heavy substance. The flower seems to be cut 
out of velvet. A perfect beauty. I withdrew this from sale 
last year in order to propagate the stock and be able to offer 
it this year at an attractive price, so that as many as possible 
might have it. 35 
Royal Salute —36 in. FRAGRANT. A 1934 introduction in a mar¬ 
velous rich deep blue-purple. Gigantic flowers and one of the 
most striking of the new dark colored varieties. The color illus¬ 
tration on this page does not begin to do it justice, as it is much 
richer than could be shown in the illustration, which is also 
greatly reduced, as are all other illustrations in this book. .. 1.00 
Rubeo —48 in. THE COLOR ILLUSTRATION ON PACE 16 IS ABOUT 
HALF SIZE and can only give a faint idea of the great beauty 
and richness of this wonderful Iris. The flower is of the richest 
velvety texture, heavy substance, perfect form, massive size and 
the stalk is nicely branched. In fact it has every good quality .40 
Sachem —40 in. VERY FRAGRANT. A very lovely rich red-toned 
bi-color, with erect silky standards of rosy-bronze; Falls deep 
velvety dazzling red. A flower of perfect form, brilliant colors 
and an especially fine garden mass. Fine large rhizomes. 20 
Sacramento —40 in. GIVEN HONORABLE MENTION BY THE 
AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. A GIANT “PLICATA” comparable 
in size with San Francisco, but entirely different in form and 
marking. The ground is white, heavily bordered with a feather¬ 
stitch edging of red-purple. One of the largest and best. In
