THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) M. 
40 in. This has been called the finest 
dark red iris in commerce. This does 
not mean it is Ihe reddest iris—in fact 
no one ever claimed it to be. The origin¬ 
ator’s color description by Ridgeway is— 
S. raisin purple, F. dahlia purple. It is 
not then for its vivid coloring but for its 
sumptuous beauty of rich, wine red that 
it has become so renowned and highly 
honored. The color is so pure and 
warmly glowing, the flower itself so 
ample and so beautifully formed that it 
is a glorious addition to any fine collec¬ 
tion. The stalks branch well and carry 
the large flowers without the slightest 
crowding. The plants are perfectly hanly 
and free flowering but do not increase 
very rapidly. H. M. 1936, A. M. 1939, 
Per. R. 93, 1937. $6.00

very fine, new, blue iris created a sensa¬ 
tion la&t year and there was not enough 
stock to fill orders. Tall, beautifuliy 
formed, of pure indigo blue, it is in a 
class by itself and what class! A son of
