SIERRA BLUE 
PETRUCHIO (Morrison) 
This strikes a brilliant note with its rich violet and carmine coloring. 
In our garden it has been consistent in producing a quantity of bloom 
in December and January. 3 feet. 25c; 3 for 50c 
PEWEE (Williamson) 
Another of the new group of "table irises/’ and a perfect gem 
of a tiny pure white flower on graceful well-branched stems 17 
inches high. 25c; 3 for 50c 
PINK OPAL (Sass) 
A sister seedling of Pink Satin with larger flowers of better shape 
on somewhat taller stems. The color is more of a lilac pink and the 
blooms are held close to the stem, giving a very good mass effect. 3 ft. 
35c ; 3 for 75c 
PINK SATIN (Sass, J.) 
Perhaps the nearest to a true pink of any iris. An even tone with 
a smooth glistening finish. Pink Satin has the valuable characteristic 
of producing a quantity of blooms over a long period. We recom¬ 
mend this iris as one of the finest pinks ever produced. 3)^ feet.

PIUTE (Thomas) 
Another iris of recent introduction that comes to us with the 
highest recommendations. Although we have not as yet had time 
to flower it, Piute is described as follows: "The nearest approach 
to a real red. It is a pure rich red self with not a trace of blue or 
purple in it. The flower is well shaped with flaring falls of heavy 
texture and smooth finish. Over 3 feet tall.” $2.50 
PLUIE D'OR (Cayeux)

well branched, and of good form and substance. Particularly 
recommended for the milder climates. 4 feet. Early. 35c; 3 for 75c 
RADIANT (Salbach) 
A vivid copper-red that promises to outdo all competitors for 
sheer brilliance. Of medium height and size, this newcomer has 
standards of burnished golden bronze and falls of glowing copper- 
red. Evidently this iris has a decided tendency to bloom in the fall 
but trial has not been over a long enough p'eriod to definitely 
establish this fact for all parts of the country. 2 3^ feet. $7.50 
RAMESES (Sass, H. P.) 
A beautiful blend of gold, pink and apricot that is difficult to 
describe. Heavy apricot beard. Vigorous and hardy. 234 feet.

REBELLION (Kl einsorge) 
This bold iris with its glowing flowers of deep blood red comes 
to us from Oregon and undoubtedly gives its best performance 
where the winters are rather severe. It resembles Burning Bronze 
in color and habit but is more brilliant. 3 feet. $2.50 
RED DOMINION (Ayres) 
A stunning rich ox-blood red that has received unqualified praise. 
The falls are slightly frilled and flaring with the deep velvety texture 
of a fine oriental rug. 3 feet. 35c; 3 for 75c 
RED FLARE (Milliken) 
Falls ox-blood red, slightly deeper in the middle than at the edges, 
flaring,- standards brownish-red shading to lustrous antique brown. 
Produces many flowers of medium size. 33 2 feet. 35c; 3 for 75c 
REDGLOW (Essig) 
The falls of this stately iris are flaring and of a rich red velvet, set 
off by a golden beard. The standards are a somewhat paler shade 
of red harmonizing beautifully with the richness of the falls. It is a 
stunning thing and shows off to particular advantage when planted 
near some of the beautiful new yellows. 3 feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
REGAL BEAUTY (Milliken) 
A regal beauty indeed with its deep velvety falls of blackish 
purple, paling at the edges to a violet-purple, with standards of clear 
light violet and with a beard of glowing yellow. A note of rich¬ 
ness is added by a flush of brown on the falls at the center of the 
flower. The whole color combination brings to mind the splendor 
of royal tapestry and robes, and thus suggested the name Regal Beauty. 
The flowers are of exceptional size and are very fragrant. Height 
334 feet. Blooming period midseason to late. Absolutely hardy. 
$7.50 
ROSY WINGS (Gage) 
Not yet having bloomed this newcomer to our garden, we can 
quote its description as follows: "Among the two or three top-most 
introductions seen for the first time last year. A blend of rose and 
copper, with excellent form, flaring falls, large size, and 40 inch 
stems. One of the few new colors developed in iris in recent 
years.” 1939 Dykes Medal winner. $2.75 
ROYAL SALUTE (Milliken) 
This is quite distinct in form and color It is one of the few good 
dark blue-purple irises. The petals, both standards and falls, are broad 
and as the flowers are on tall stems the beauty of the falls is easily 
seen. The main points of its excellence are that it has a tall well- 
branched stem so that the flowers are not crowded, and the flowers 
which have good substance seem to be the bluest of any of the 
so-called blue-purple irises. See illustration page 22. 3} 2 feet. 
Writes an Iowa grower: "It is a splendid dark blue-purple iris of 
fine form, texture, height and very splendid branching."
