ORMOHR 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936). Richly colored 
and strikingly brilliant, this sensa¬ 
tional iris always commands the im¬ 
mediate attention of visitors to our 
garden. Radiant stands alone in its 
color class, except for the new Orange 
Flame, to be introduced by us this 
season. The standards are of burnished 
orange and the falls a glowing cop¬ 
pery red, producing a richness and 
brilliance of color seldom seen in an 
iris. 
The blooms are of medium size, of 
fine form, and are very freely pro¬ 
duced on low-branching stems. We 
have had as many as five bloom stalks 
on a first year rhizome. Blooms con¬ 
sistently each fall in California. A fine 
seed parent. Mid-season. 30''-..$3.00 
RAMESES. One of the few iris to win 
the coveted American Dykes Medal 
Award. Good sized blooms on medium- 
tall but well-branched stalks. Out¬ 
standing because of its striking blend 
of colors. Rich gold, and pale pink 
are most artistically blended in this 
flower to give an iris of majestic ele¬ 
gance. Mid-season. 30"....25c; 3 for 50c 
RED DOMINION. A beautiful clear, 
deep ox-blood red. Standards violet- 
red, falls rich velvety purple-red, near¬ 
ly black. One of the most popular iris 
grown. Large flowers with fine vel¬ 
vety finish. Buds open like rosebuds.

RED RADIANCE. A beautiful red, 
somewhat similar to Dauntless, but 
deeper and of an entirely different 
tone. Decidedly striking in block plant¬ 
ings. 38" .50c

ROB ROY. This fine iris, which merits 
a place among the best reds on form, 
color, etc., alone, is of great additional 
value because it is such an early 
bloomer, being the first big red to show 
color in our garden. Dominating color 
is bordeaux, a color of great carrying 
quality. Texture excellent and does 
not fade. 38".25c; 3 for 50c 
RONDA. So vividly colored that it 
shines clear across the garden. A low 
growing iris, making it ideal for bor¬ 
ders, etc. — and what a glowing, “dif¬ 
ferent” parking bed it would make. 
Heavy texture and beautifully propor¬ 
tioned. Color tones very much like 
those shown in color picture of Rubeo 
(on front cover). Late. 24".

ROSE MITCHELL. A very lovely orchid 
colored iris originated by Professor 
Essig. Tall, and unusually colored. 
Late. 48".35c; 3 for 85c 
ROSY WINGS (Gage). Winner of the 
Dykes Medal in 1939. Large blooms 
of splendid form, the falls being some¬ 
what flaring. Beautiful blending of 
colors. Standards deep pink, shading 
to copper, falls deep rose, bordered 
copper. Fragrant. Mid-season. 30". 
$2.50 
ROSY ASIA (Mitchell 1934). A pinker 
edition of Asia, with broader falls and 
fine full form. A most delicate and de¬ 
lightful blend which is at its best un¬ 
der electric light. Large blooms. 
Falls pale Chinese violet, flushed 
deeper in center, with warm lilac stand¬ 
ards and bright yellow beard. 40". 
25c; 3 for 50c 
ROYAL COACH (H. P. Sass 1939). A 
new yellow plicata of merit. A type of 
iris that has been very difficult to pro¬ 
duce. Royal Coach is the brightest of 
the yellow plicatas. The standards are 
chamois overlaid pink, with faint cin¬ 
namon dotting. Falls yellow, beauti¬ 
fully bordered and dotted brown. Flow¬ 
ers are of medium size and heavy sub¬ 
stance. Late mid-season. 24".$5.00 
RUTH POLLOCK (H. P. Sass). “This 
was the best yellow plicata I saw at 
the Sasses in 1938.” This from one 
of the best American authorities on 
iris. We are in entire accord with 
the above statement. The standards 
are a clear yellow and falls light yel¬ 
low with distinct border of red brown. 
Mid-season. 28". Stock limited..$20.00 
RUBEO (Mitchell). A magnificent plant 
with huge flowers beautifully poised on 
strong stems 48" high. The standards 
are deep glistening rose, the broad 
thick textured falls are of deep ma¬ 
roon. See color cut on cover. 
It is hardy, as it never seems to 
die out anywhere, although its one 
fault is that it is not a prolific bloomer, 
particularly where winters are most 
severe. This fault, however, is largely 
overcome if the rhizomes are trans¬ 
planted every second year. Mid-season. 
48".35c; 3 for 85c; 12 for $2.50 
SACRAMENTO (Mitchell). This plica¬ 
ta, though related to San Francisco and 
of comparable size and habit, is abso¬ 
lutely distinct from anything previous¬ 
ly introduced. Its large flowers have 
a white ground, the standards heavily 
edged red purple, the falls reticulated 
with the same color. Orange beard. 
H. M., A. 1. S., 1931. Late. 40".

SANDALWOOD (Hans Sass 1937). A 
very fine coffee colored blend that is 
greatly enlivened by the yellow under¬ 
tone and is very suave in appearance. 
Good branching and habit. Technical¬ 
ly — standards vinaceous tawny, falls 
army brown. 34". Mid-season....$1.00
