RED DOMINION. A beautiful clear, deep 
ox-blood red. Standards violet-red, falls

RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939). One of the 
finest of all the red-toned iris. Not espe- 
cially large but nearest approach to 
scarlet of any iris. The color of standards 
and falls is almost alike. Blooms of good 
form and smooth texture. Red Gleam is 
an appropriate name for this brilliant red 
inise Mid-season: 94/55) 208.6. holes, $7.50 
RED RADIANCE. A beautiful red toned iris 
somewhat similar to Dauntless but deeper 
and of an entirely different tone shade. 
Decidedly striking in block plantings. 38”.

REDWOOD (Kleinsorge 1939). Appropri- 
ately named, for the color is very similar 
to the wood of the California Red Wood, 
a subdued red self. Blooms of good size 
and form, stems branched a bit high. An 
especially good cut flower variety. Late.

RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939). Col. Nicholls 
has given us a number of good iris, but we 
feel that Red Valor is one of his very best. 
A deep garnet red of large size and heavy 
substance, withstanding the severest 
weather. Standards remain closed during 
the life of the blooms, falls broad and 
flaring. Rich brown beard adds to the 
depth of color. Low-branching stems.

RED VELVET (Kleinsorge 1939). Real red 
iris are difficult to produce. Heretofore we 
could only describe them as “red-toned” 
iris. In Red Velvet we not only have a 
real red, but a red that is comparable to 
the richest red velvet cloth. This year we 
had a small well-established planting 
that produced a generous lot of magnifi- 
cent blooms on well-branched flower 
stalks, 3 ft. tall. The individual blooms 
are large and of fine form. The technical 
color, according to Ridway is: Standards 
live Van Dyke red, slightly deeper at edges 
of petals, falls velvety carmine to ox- 
blood red. Good plant growth and hardy,

ROSY WINGS (Gage). Winner of Dykes 
Medal in 1939. Blooms of good size and 
splendid form, the falls being somewhat 
flaring. Beautiful blending of colors, 
standards deep pink, shading to copper, 
falls deep rose bordered copper. Stems 
especially well branched. Very free 
bloomer. Fragrant. Mid-season. 30”.

ROYAL COACH (H. P. Sass 1939). A new 
yellow plicata of merit. A type of iris that 
has been very difficult to produce. Royal 
Coach is the brightest of the yellow pli- 
catas. The standards are chamois over- 
laid pink, with faint cinnamon dotting. 
Falls yellow, beautifully bordered and 
dotted brown. Flowers are of medium size 
and heavy substance. Late mid-season.

RUBEO (Mitchell). A magnificent plant 
with huge flowers beautifully poised on 
strong stems 48” high. The standards are 
deep glistening rose, the broad, thick, tex- 
tured falls are of deep maroon. 
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 rhi- 
zomes are transplanted every second year. 
Mid-season. 48”. 35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.75

RUTH POLLOCK (H. P. Sass). “The best 
yellow plicata I saw at the Sasses in 1938.” 
This from one of the best. American au- 
thorities on iris. We are in entire accord 
with the above statement. Not large but 
very outstanding. The standards are a 
brown red, suffused and stippled deep 
yellow. Falls are clear yellow, heavily 
edged and dotted brown red. Flower 
stalks branch very low, many blooms on 
a Stalk. Hardy, vigorous and free bloom- 
ing. Mid-season. 28”. Stock limited. .$7.50 
SALAR (DeForest 1940). A big, creamy flesh 
with an overlay of salmon. The color effect 
is that of salmon. The blooms are very 
large of good substance, with well- 
branched stems. Fine growing habits. 40”.

SAN FRANCISCO. One of the largest white 
plicatas. Introduced many years ago and 
still ranks with the best in this class. Both 
standards and falls are distinctly edged 
blue. Blooms are large and well spaced on 
tall, low-branched stems. San Francisco 
is a vigorous grower, but needs winter 
protection in very cold climates. Mid- 
season. 40”....25c; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.75 
SAN GABRIEL. A very large, pinkish lav- 
ender of high excellence, adding to its 
other merits the virtue of being very early. 
Well-branched tall stems. A beautiful re- 
fined iris—only suitable to rather mild 
climates. 60”...35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.75 
SANTA BARBARA. Early flowering, peri- 
winkle blue self, of good size and good 
substance. Horizontal falls, well-branched 
stems, vigorous grower and free bloomer.

flaring falls. Heavy substance and has 
slightly ruffled edges. Mid-season. 44”.

SEDUCTION. A _ splendid plicata from 
France. As unusual as any plicata we have 
ever seen. Large blooms of fine form and 
heavy substance. Tall, low-branched 
stems. The color is ivory white with vein- 
ing or stitching of lilac on both standards 
and falls. Late. 44”........ 50c; 3 for $1.25

iris for mass planting. Blooms are clear 
white of good size and form. Very free 
bloomer. Hardy everywhere. Mid-season.
