OURIKA (Cayeux 1937) M. 36”. 
A large flower of a delicate color, rosy-mauve self with 
falls slightly tinted. A novel, unusual color. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
OZONE Gs oass 1935) Mil 3 7% 
As distinct and original an iris as can be imagined, one 
of our favorites. A deep pearly mauve, serene and a pure 
self with unusual epaulettes of warm coppery brown on the 
haft. Harmonious as the chestnut crest of a sleek grey bird. 
Oc 
PAULETTE (Millet 1930) M. 38”. 
One of the largest iris. Uniform light lavender blue self. 
Unusual for size and good color. 25c; 3 for 60c 
PERSIAN PRINCE (H. Sass 1941) L. 38”. 
Large, bright variegata. Flaring falls of solid brown 
without veins or margin; bright yellow standards. $5.00 
PESHAWAR (Schreiner 1937) EM. 26”. 
Rich brown-purple veined and dotted a deeper shade. 
The charm of this flower is its dusting of silver-gray, like 
morning dew. 25c 
PINK OPAL (J. Sass 1934) M. 38”. 
An ethereal, opulent light orchid pink. Easily one of the 
tallest pink iris. Large, easy to grow; a splendid massing 
variety. 25c; 3 for 60c 
BINKEREREEGHION (Pe rCook 1942) 1, 36". 
Simply exquisite new chamois-pink blend of quality and 
individuality. As this iris performed for us we consider it 
one of the finest new pinks. A nymph-like light to medium 
pink with an underlay of creamy buff; crisp looking. Very 
attractive form, a lovely hydrangea pink, crisp and clear 
cut like a piece of silk brocade. 
PIUTE (Thomas 1937) M. 38”. 
A rich smooth red with a bronzy undercast giving the 
flower a very warm appearance. A quiet haft and golden 
beard contribute to its general excellence. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
PLATINUM BEAUTY (Schreiner 1941) L. 36”. 
Entrancing, delicate pastel blend of unusual size and 
heavy texture. A lovely combination of lilac pink with 
softest blendings of lemon yellow especially concentrated 
toward the heart of the flower. Throughout the flower a 
sparkling, silvery sheen mingles with gold giving the flower 
the effect of being sprinkled with star dust. Well branched, 
sturdy stems. 75¢ 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass 1939) M. 36”. 
With a bloom the color of a midsummer sun of the prairie 
setting in a blaze of glory, we find ourselves unequal to the 
task of attempting to describe the colors of this remarkable 
iris. Unlike anything we have ever had with half the colors 
of the rainbow glowing in the lovliest combination imagin- 
able. In its tints we have pink, rose, apricot, peach with a 
radiant sprinkling of gleaming gold shining forth. The 
many restless colors seem to give different tints depending 
on the angle at which viewed; like a fine piece of changeable 
silk. The flowers are well substanced, slightly elongated 
inform. The stem is average height, the branching is neither 
wide nor long. (Pictured page 14 ) $4.50 
PRISCILLA (Whiting 1942) ML. 33”. 
Waxy, glossy snow white, this variety is a color gem. A 
superb garden iris. Neither tall nor large its charm lies in 
its purity. About the whitest-white, even to the beard and 
style arms. $1.00 
PURPLE GIANT (Gage 1933) EM. 36”. 
_ This is a striking true purple iris. In our gardens it is as 
fine as any iris of like coloring. It has good size and unusual 
plant vigor. Particularly free flowering, it is not a new iris, 
but it is still a splendid one. 25c; 3 for 60c 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) EM. 30”. 
An exceptionally vivid bicolor. Standards golden bronze; 
falls velvety terra cotta to brick. Very glowing and intense 
in the garden. The haft is strongly marked; the beard 
bright orange. An outstanding iris. This iris has great 
carrying quality in the garden. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
RADIO BEAM (Kellogg 1940) M. 36”. 
Refreshing buff-yellow and mist blue with a bright orange 
beard. 
RAMESES (H. Sass 1929) ML. 38”. 
Another of the great Dykes Medal irises —a stalwart 
giant in tones of golden buff and rosy pink. This iris is a 
rampant grower, a single clump often displaying a score 
or more of open blooms at one time. 25c; 3 for 60c 
RANGITIKEI (Stevens 1941) M. 36”. 
Lustrous dark carmine purple self enriched by a bright 
gold beard. A splendid rich purple iris of fine form and ex- 
cellent substance. $12.00 
RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Courtly shaped blooms. An outstanding new iris that is 
being accorded high praise as one of the outstanding new 
iris. A striking spike of this iris with four perfectly spaced 
blossoms won the Grand Championship for a single spike 
exhibited at the St. Paul Iris show. It is a smooth rosy-red 
with a clean haft having an undercast of copper that lights 
up the flower giving it a vibrant gleam. Standards Jasper 
pink with falls slightly darker Eugenia Red. We strongly 
recommend this iris as one of the finest iris we have grown. 
A most satisfactory grower; tall, large flowered and well 
branched — all qualities a first class iris should have. (Illus- 
tration on page 19.) $7.50 
RED DOMINION (Ayres 1931) ML. 32”. 
Rich wine purple, very intense and velvety. A lovely color. 
25c; 3 for 60c 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) M. 34”. 
A rich red, velvety and brilliant, with a chestnut cast. 
Good sized flowers, moderately branched stems, it is a close 
approach to true red and one of the finer iris of its color in 
this price class. It needs a moist year to be seen at per- 
fection. $2.00 
RED ORCHID (J. Sass 1934) VE. 24”. 
Glowing, bright ruby purple. A very early flowering 
rich iris. 25c 
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. $6.00 
REDWARD (P. Cook 1942) ML. 32”. 
This noble flower is the culmination of breeding for a 
crimson iris thru several generations. It is a brilliant red 
from the purple (not brown) side of the color scale. Large 
flowers of brilliant dahlia carmine to burnt lake, it is a sub- 
stantial looking development that looms up in rich, august 
tones. Very attractive, not an early blooming variety.
