RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) M. 34”. 
New reds are being offered annually. Often they are as 
much alike as peas in a pod. Red Gleam is different and a 
definite progression toward a redder iris. Form like Red 
Dominion with the rich, fiery red of a seedling of Sass’s 
known as ‘‘Bonfire Red.” It is not tall but is a rich, very 
velvety red and a self, that is, standards and falls are about 
the same tone. $12.00 
RED REVEL (Nicholls 1939) ML. 36”. 
Domed rosy red with deeper velvety falls, widely flaring; 
orange-brown beard. Strong substanced, medium sized 
blooms, very free flowering with many stalks and blooms 
per plant. $2.00 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) M. 38”. 
Set of the fire of garnet marked with a brown beard, this 
jewel-like glowing red of ideally formed flowers, domed 
standards and flaring falls gives a most interesting sil- 
houette. Tall branched stems and very imposing. $12.00 
ROSE DOMINION (Connell 1931) M. 38”. 
An iris of marked individuality with rounded “half- 
dollar” falls flaring almost to the horizontal. The rosy 
tone is augmented by a fine velvetiness of texture. Rose 
Dominion presents its blooms with an air of easy elegance 
on stems ideally branched. 25c; 3 for 50c 
ROSY WINGS (Gage 1936) M. 38”. 
A delightful fantasy of colors, rosy red vying with copper 
tones producing a pleasing iridescence. The general tone 
varies with one’s viewpoint and with the light, producing 
a most intriguing effect. 50c 
ROYAL COACH (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 33”. 
Done in tones of brown and yellow this iris recalls the 
old, popular Jubilee. Good sized flowers, a bright yellow 
with brown and bronze markings. A provocatively trim 
subject with broad standards and semi-flaring falls. One of 
the brightest of its color class, the yellow ground plicatas. 
$2.00 
ROYAL COMMAND (D. Hall 1939) M. 40”. 
A rich new creation with as much silken lustre as we 
have noticed in any variety. It is a descendent of Legend 
and inherits that variety’s splendid branching with further 
refinement; 4 and 5 flowers open at same time. The color 
is rich velvety purple, very close to the tone of dark Du- 
bonnet-red. Very pure in color, its lustre emits a vibrancy 
giving a most striking color effect in the garden. $3.00 
RUD PPPOLEOCK (EPs sass939 iMIien3or 
This is unquestionably the finest yellow plicata to date. 
Full, broadly-formed blooms held on well branched stems, 
ideal placement, form and size. The ground color is a clear 
tone of medium deep yellow with heavy, yet clearly etched 
rose markings on yellow. The falls have this rose tone 
definitely edged on the outer third of the petal. The mark- 
ings are concise throughout and the delicacy of the tracery 
is readily apparent. Full rich orange beard. Ruth Pollock 
has some of the tints of Tiffany though more delicate rose 
markings and a more yellow background; more lively colored 
than Tiffany. A combination of gay and unexpected colors, 
an enchanting flower. $12.00 
IRIS 
GACRELY EANes 
SABLE (P. Cook 1938) ML. 37”. 
Muted tones of deep claret-black. Flowers of good size 
and the tallest stem of the very dark varieties. Rich claret- 
black in contrast with the pansy-black tones of Ethiop 
Queen and Black Valor. Full rounded petals, rich and glossy 
with a velvety fall and inconspicuous beard. $6.50 
SACRAMENTO (Mohr-Mitchel 1929) ML.38”. 
An ivory-white plicata profusely margined magenta- 
violet. Large, tall, and extremely hardy. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
SAHARA (Pilkington 1936) M. 34”. 
A lovely, soft primrose yellow. The flower has surprising 
substance and is full petalled. The coloring, while not dark, 
is rich and creamy, like very rich yellow cream. The form 
is full and broad, color clear and non-spotting; one of the 
best liked by visitors in the medium yellow irises. A Dykes 
Medal Winner in England in 1935, $1.00 
SALAR (DeForest 1940) ML. 40”. 
This past season two blends towered over all others in 
our garden. They were Prairie Sunset and Salar. Each is 
a sensational iris and worthy of all the praise so lavishly 
bestowed on it. Salar is more delicately colored in com- 
parison with the lucid beauty of Prairie Sunset. It is a 
lovely pleasing combination of gleaming opalescent flesh 
and cream with a subtle glistening of salmon tints. The 
falls have a spread of rose shadings around the beard. In 
effect it is a slight bicolor because of these shadings in the 
falls. There is an indescribable charm about Salar, parti- 
cularly its standards, that we cannot liken to any other 
iris unless it be to the luminous tones exemplified in Mar- 
quita’s standards. 
The flower is very large, splendidly substanced, the stalks 
tall, well branched. For rarity of color and perfection of 
plant habit we know of no peer to this great iris which we 
had the proud honor of introducing last season. (Pictured 
on page 15). $20.00 
SALUTATION (David Hall 1938) E. 33”. 
A charmingly ruffled light yellow that blooms with the 
late intermediates. The earliest of the large flowered yel- 
lows. (Pictured on page 10.) $2.00 
SANDALWOOD UH. Sass 1937) M. 34”. 
A new pale bronze of excellent form and unrivalled silky 
sheen. It might be called an improved Jean Cayeux. Des- 
tined to be a popular iris. 50c 
SANDIA (Williamson 1934) EM. 38”. 
A sturdy medium pink, lightly blended, extra heavy sub- 
stance. Delicate shadings of the various tints make the 
flower most appealing. One of the most popular of its type. 
Stems are very well branched, flowers are good sized; very 
weather resistant, nicely rounded form. 35¢ 
SAN FRANCISCO (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) ML. 38”. 
A sister of Los Angeles with heavier marginings of blue 
on a white ground. This variety often carries several fine 
large blooms open at a time. One of the finest plicatas. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
SEDUCTION (Cayeux 1933) M. 38”. 
Daintiest of the plicatas, with an ivory-white ground 
faintly stitched and polka-dotted an exquisite lavender. 
Flowers are large and beautifully formed.
