Queen Anne —36 in. EARLY. An exquisitely 
beautiful Iris, entirely in a class by itself, as 
there is no other Iris like it. The dome shaped 
standards are beautifully creped, cream col¬ 
ored with a faint bronze overcast. The flaring 
falls are of the same color, prominently 
veined pansy-violet, with old-gold veining 
at the throat to the tip of the beard. When 
it first flowered, in order to see if the reaction 
of others was the same as mine, I showed it 
separately to two different people, the first 
exclaimed “OH! Isn’t that beautiful. It 
reminds one of something antique.” The 
second, when asked what it reminded her of, 
replied without hesitation “Why something 
antique,” which made it 100%, as that was 
exactly my owm reaction. I thereupon decided 
to name it “Antique” only to find that the 
name had already been reserved by some one 
else, whom I believe never used it. So I named 
it “Queen Anne.” It is one of my own intro¬ 
ductions. The record as to its parentage was 
lost, but I was using some Oncocyclus pollen 
on Tall Bearded Iris at the time and believe 
the unusual effect results from this. At any 
rate it is quite handsome. 20

Red Radiance— 32 in. GIVEN HONORABLE 
MENTION BY THE AMERICAN IBIS 
SOCIETY. A NEW RICH GLOWING 
RED, BEING A DEEPER MORE BRIL¬ 
LIANT RED THAN DAUNTLESS, which 
it somewhat resembles. Sold in 1932 for 
$35.00 for a single plant.35 
Red Robe— 36 in. GIVEN HONORABLE 
MENTION BY THE AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY. A new deep dark velvety mahog¬ 
any-red, of large size, perfect form, heavy 
substance and having everything to recom¬ 
mend it. I paid $25.00 a plant for this 
variety in 1932. Now a large stock of extra 
fine plants permits a low price for such an 
exceptional variety.25 
Red Velvet —36 in. A lovely companion-piece for Blue Velvet, which it 
greatly resembles, excepting for color; the entire flower appearing to be 
cut out of red velvet, hence the name.25 
Refulgence — 48 in. I AM MAKING A VERY LOW PRICE ON THIS 
SPLENDID VARIETY TO GIVE IT WIDER DISTRIBUTION, AS 
IT IS A VERY FINE IRIS AND SHOULD BE IN EVERY GARDEN. 
It is of Ambassadeur x Magnifica parentage, giving it a rugged consti¬ 
tution and it is a prodigious bloomer. The standards are of rich brilliant 
violet blue and the deep velvety falls are of pansy violet, with a mag¬ 
nificently veined throat. One of my own introductions.15 
Rhadi— 36 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY OF ENGLAND. An Iris of exceedingly attractive iridescent 
Mother-of-pearl coloring. The very lovely flowers are of large size, 
perfect form, and heavy substance. 20 
Rheingauperle — 34 in. EARLY. SWEET APPLE-BLOSSOM FRAG- 
RANCE. An exquisite flower of fine form in an unusually beautiful 
apple-blossom pink tone. For a delightful garden mass, or as a cut flower, 
this is my personal choice of all the pink tones and if I could have but 
one inexpensive pink I am sure it would be Rheingauperle. Any one of 
refined taste will immediately fall in love with this real gem when they 
see it in flower. Besides being a handsome flower, it is very free flower-

Rheintochter— 36 in. I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED THIS ONE 
OF THE TOP-NOTCH WHITE BI-COLORS, OF WHICH THERE 
ARE SO FEW, but I found it necessary to withdraw it from sale for 
several years in order to accumulate a sufficient stock to enable me to 
offer it at a modest price. The standards are white, with a slight flush of 
lilac; and the deep velvety falls are of violet-blue, with a lilac border. 
It is a real beauty of large size and perfect form and a very free bloomer. 
You are sure to fall in love with Rheintochter. Mildred Presby, illustrated 
on Page 7, illustrates this type of Iris, but in Rheintochter the pre¬ 
dominating tones are blue instead of red. 20 
Rob Roy —36 in. EARLY. I consider this rich red-toned variety better 
than Dauntless, illustrated on Page 6. It greatly resembles Dauntless 
in shape and color, but is larger and better. I had them growing side 
by side for several years for comparison and Rob Roy always made the 
most impressive sight. 20 
Romance— 36 in. FRAGRANT. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY 
THE IRIS SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. An Iris of unusual colors, being 
a uniform, satiny, lustrous rosy bronze. The large flowers are of good 
form and freely produced.15
