Royal Beauty— 40 in. HONORABLE MENTION AND AWARD OF MERIT 
AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. ONE OF THE FINEST AMERICAN INTRO¬ 
DUCTIONS now offered for the first time at a very low price. A huge velvety deep 
blue flower of perfect form and heavy substance. The flower seems to be cut out of 
velvet. A perfect beauty. .20 
Royal Salute —36 in. FRAGRANT. A marvelous rich deep blue-purple. Gigantic 
flowers and one of the most striking of the new dark colored varieties. The color 
illustration on Page 24, which is only about one-quarter actual size, does not show 
the real richness or beauty of the flower. 25 
Rubeo— 48 in. THIS IS A FLOWER OF COLOSSAL SIZE AND GREAT BEAUTY, 
THE COLOR ILLUSTRATION ON PAGE 26 BEING ONLY ABOUT ONE- 
HALF THE ACTUAL 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. 35 
Sachem —40 in. VERY FRAGRANT. A very lovely rich red-toned bi-color with 
erect silky standards of rosy-bronze and velvety falls of deep dazzling red. A flower 
of perfect form, brilliant colors, creating 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 TO SAN 
FRANCISCO, BUT ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IN FORM AND MARKING, 
IN FACT I PERSONALLY LIKE SACRAMENTO BEST OF ALL THE "PLI- 
CATAS.” The ground is white, heavily bordered with a feather-stitch edging of 
red-purple, the marking being more prominent than in other "Plicatas” such as 
San Francisco or Los Angeles, the latter being illustrated on Page 14. You are sure 
to be very much pleased with Sacramento. 20 
San Diego— 46 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. 
HUGE FLOWERS OF DEEP BLUE AND MY OWN CHOICE OF ALL THE 
DEEP BLUES REGARDLESS OF PRICE. The flowers are of superb form an 1 
freely produced on tall branching stalks.20 
San Francisco— 44 in. EARLY. WINNER OF THE DYKES MEMORIAL 
MEDAL, HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL HONORS. One of the largest 
and finest Iris of 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 
Romola— 38 in. EXQUISITE FRAGRANCE. THIS MAGNIFICENT 
IRIS SOLD FOR $35.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT JUST A FEW 
YEARS AGO. It is just as fine to-day as it was then, but a large stock 
of extra fine plants now enables me to offer it at a very low price. It is 
one of our best Irises, with large flowers of perfect form and good sub¬ 
stance. The standards are of soft lilac and the rich velvety falls are of 
red-violet. 15 
Ronda— 30 in. A REAL FIVE STAR IRIS. A NEW AMERICAN IRIS 
WHICH IS ONE OF THE FINEST RED-TONED IRIS SO FAR 
OBTAINED. The color is very similar to Rubeo, illustrated on Page 
26. 15 
Rose Ash— 36 in. EARLY. A very fine flower of great size, combined with 
fine form and heavy substance, in the popular and very rare "ashes of 
roses” color.20 
Rose Dominion —38 in. GIVEN HONORABLE MENTION BY THE 
AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. A BEAUTIFUL NEW BRILLIANT 
AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE COLOR, with flaring falls and a vivid 
golden beard. Sold in 1932 at $15.00 for a single plant, but a large 
stock of extra fine plants enables me to make a very low price this 
season.15 
Rose of Cuba —30 in. I have always been fond of this variety on account 
of its unusual brilliant rosy color, but my stock did not permit me to 
offer it for several years until last season. My stock of it is still not large, 
but I have decided to make an attractive price on it this season while 
the stock lasts. The color effect is an unusual 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.20 
Rose Petal— 48 in. SWEETLY SCENTED. A VERY LOVELY IRIS 
IN CLEAR, UNIFORM, DEEP ROSE PETAL PINK. Sold in 1932 
at $20.00 for a single plant, but I now have a sufficient stock to make 
a very low price on this beauty. .20 
Rosy Wings— 40 in. FRAGRANT. AWARDED THE DYKES 
MEMORIAL MEDAL FOR 1939, AS THE FINEST IRIS OF 
THE YEAR. A new light brown effect, being an unusual blending 
of brown, red and pink, with a conspicuous orange beard. Stock 
scarce. 5.00
