RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) M. 36 in. 
A very beautiful iris which has been 
heralded as the finest of the new reds. 
The clear, pure coloring of the standards 
makes it a near self except that the rich, 
velvety effect of the falls intensifies the 
coloring. A flower of startling and vivid 
beauty, it is of large size, pleasing form 
and proud carriage. The strong, hardy 
plants grow and bloom well. H. M. 1940, 
Reg0y 1940: $12.00 
RED SAILS (Lapham 1937) M. 38 in. 
Many fine reds have been produced by 
Mr. Lapham and each is distinct and 
beautiful. This one is a red and gold 
beauty—a glorious medley of chestnut 
red, gold and brown. “Red Sails in the 
Sunset” brings glamour to the garden.

RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) M. 38 in. 
A perfect self of deep, garnet red. These 
warm, dark reds are so beautiful that I 
often wonder if I care whether we come 
any nearer to spectrum reds in iris or not. 
Perhaps it would be as well to leave that 
to the salvia and canna. This new iris is 
such a lovely shade of red that one could 
not wish it any brighter. The flowers 
are large, gracefully formed and weil 
groomed, with a pleasing grape frazrance. 
‘he plants are vigorous and hardy with 
excellent growing and blooming habits.

RIDING HIGH (Lapham 1940) M. 40 in. 
When we saw this in the Hall garden last 
spring we were impressed with its won- 
derful branching. It has many other fine 
points—large flowers of deep, lilac pink, 
graceful form and excellent substance. It 
was greatly admired by A. I. S. visitors 
and commented on favorably in Bull. 79, 
page 16. It is sweetly fragrant and the 
plants are strong and hardy. R. 88, 1940. 
$5.00 
ROSY WINGS (Gage 1935) M. 40 in. A 
charming garden or show flower which 
has won many honors. It is a smooth 
and subile blending of buff and daphne 
pink with a flush of hellebore red on the 
fall. The plants are strong and v.gorous, 
blooming freely on tall, well branched 
stalks. The flowers are sweetly fragrant.

ROYAL COACH (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 36 
in. Not the largest but one of the clear- 
est and brightest of the yellow ground 
plicatas. The smooth, well rounded form, 
heavy substance, bright yellow  back- 
ground and trim, brown markings make 
this one of our favorites. The plants have 
good growth, branching and blooming 
habitS.. H.°M., 1939, Per. R. 87; 1940. $2.50 
RUTH POLLOCK (H. P. Sass 1939) M. 
36 in. This has often been called the fin- 
est of the Sass yellow plicatas. The flow- 
ers are so large and ruffled that it is in- 
deed a magn.ficent specimen. The ground 
color is of deeper yellow than Tiffany, 
the petals wider and the pattern of red 
brown markings heavier and more strik- 
ing. A most distinguished and lovely 
flower—a sure prize winner. The stalks 
are strong, the branching wide and the 
plants hardy and free flowering. H. M. 
1939, Per. R. 90, 1940. $15.00 
SABLE (Cook 1938) M. 40 in. When Sa- 
ble first bloomed in our garden, my 
thought was of how proud a hybridizer 
must be of producing such a flower. It 
is one of the most stunning of the dark 
irises and probably the one by which the 
merits of other irises in this class will 
long be measured. It is truly black pur- 
ple—flourite violet by the charts—with a 
harmonizing dark beard. Its beautiful 
foim, excellent substance, splendid growtia 
and blooming habits in addition to its 
grand color, make it a super iris, one that 
everyone will want to grow. H. M. 1937,

SALUTATION (D. Hall-Schreiner 1938) 
V. E. 38 in. A delightfully ruffled, light 
yellow self of clear, pure coloring and 
sweet locust fragrance. It blooms very 
early and its charming form, pur.ty ot 
color and excellent substance make it a 
valuable garden subject. R. 88, 1940.

SANDALWOOD (H. P. Sass 1937) M. 40 
in. A smooth toned brown iris with blend- 
ings of mauve. The satiny texture of the 
flower and its delightful fragrance height- 
en its resemblance to the sandalwood of 
the orient for which it is named. It has 
become justly famous as the pod parent 
of Prairie Sunset. Per. R. 87, 1939. 50c 
From Minnesota—The box of iris arrived yesterday and I am much pleased with
