REGAL BEAUTY (Milliken 1939) ML. 38”. 
A blue bicolor, standards of light violet, falls blackish 
purple. A note of richness is added by a flush of brown on 
the falls at the center of the flower. Inclined to be eee 
$1.7 
REGENCY ROSE (Stephenson 1942) ML. 36”. 
Interesting, effective pinkish-rose of especially fine carry-. 
ing quality in the garden. A self in a pleasing tone of 
amaranth to deep rose pink with slight fawn undercast; 
heavily substanced with medium large flowers, a very nice 
iris. : 75¢ 
REMEMBRANCE (D. Hall 1942) ML. 38”. 
Indispensible creamy pink blend with an air of bewitch- 
ment added to the flower by its delicacy of pale yellow blend- 
ing on the delicate pink pigmentation. It is a lovely creation 
in the very soft colors. For such soft shades the flower is 
very good sized and well substanced. $5.00 
RISING SUN (Kirkland 1941) M. 34”. 
Deep rose pink and red bicolor with a flush of yellow more 
heavily concentrated toward the heart of the flower. $5.00 
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. 
25c; 3 for 60c 
ROSE TOP. (UH. Sass 1941) M.,34”". 
A flow of lacy frills and elaborate styling. The needle- 
pointing of novel rose markings on cream-yellow give this 
yellow ground plicata a merry personality and the casual 
ruffle seems to give the flowers a curtsying grace that is 
most endearing. Its novelty lies in the color of the mark- 
ings and the restraint and art with which they adorn the 
petals. $17.50 
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. 30c; 3 for 75c 
ROYAL COACH (H. Sass 1939) M. 33”. 
Sprightly marked brown and yellow plicata. Its back- 
ground coloring is very golden giving a rich effect. 
60c; 3 for $1.50 
ROYAL COMMAND (D. Hall 1939) M. 40”. 
Rich velvety purple close to dark Dubonnet red. Very 
pure in color, its lustre emits a finish that is quite striking 
for such a dark, rich looking iris. Ideally branched stems. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
RUBIENT (Whiting 1942) M. 38”. 
A smoldering red-purple with a lovely inner fire of ruby 
to its coloring. In pattern it is a bicolor of wine purple 
standards with flaring, blackish red velvet falls strikingly 
margined with a precise edging on the falls. It recalls some- 
what the color pattern of Amigo inthe red tones. $5.00 
RUBY GLOW (Schreiner 1941) VE. 24”. 
Extremely early intermediate. Glossy, velvety ruby with 
a bright orange beard. Richest and reddest variety of this 
color range. $1.50 
RUTH POLLOCK (H. Sass 1939) ML. 36”. 
This is unquestionably one of the finest yellow plicatas. 
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. A combination 
of gay and unexpected colors, an enchanting flower. 
SABLE (P. Cook 1938) M. 37”. : 
Almost pitch black, a wonderful shade of deepest black 
violet with a claret tone as if it were double dyed. Arresting 
in its depth of color, even to the beard, a lustrous sheen 
fittingly completes the splendid harmony of this fine iris. It 
is not a fast grower taking two years to establish, however, 
its color is so gorgeous it is well worth the waiting. $2.00 
SAHARA (Pilkington 1936) ML. 34”. 
A lovely, soft primrose yellow. The flower has surprising 
substance and is full petalled. Rich and creamy colored, 
like very rich cream, the broad, full formed flowers mark it 
as an iris of finish and poise. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SALAR (DeForest 1940) ML. 40”. 
Two blends rank high in our garden. They are 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 comparison with the lucid beauty of 
Prairie Sunset. It is a lovely, pleasing combination of gleam- 
ing opalescent flesh and cream with a subtle glistening of 
salmon tints. The falls have a spread of rose shadings 
around the beard. In effect a slight bicolor. There is an 
indescribable charm about Salar, particularly its standards, 
that we cannot liken to any other iris unless it be to the 
luminous tones exemplified in Marquita’s standards. The 
flower is very large, the stalks tall, well branched. $3.50 
SALMON SPLENDOR (Lapham 1941) EM. 30”. 
A prolific flowering variety ideal for massing or garden 
groupings. As pleasing in the garden as Noweta. Salmon 
Splendor has all the charm and freshness of Noweta in tones 
of salmon with just a pink underglow. Possesses tremendous 
color appeal. $2.00 
SALUTATION (D. Hall 1938) E. 33”. 
A charmingly ruffled light yellow that blooms with the 
late intermediates. The earliest of the large flowered yel- 
lows. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
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. 30c; 3 for 75c 
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. 50c 
SETTING SUN (Kirkland 1937) M. 36”. 
One of Dr. Kirkland’s finest bright reds. A coppery red, 
very much a self. The well rounded blooms are slightly 
elongated. In the opinion of many iris people this is close 
to the reddest iris and seen with the slanting rays of the sun 
shining through it, it presents a picture of one of the fieriest 
reds in the entire garden. Very striking. $1.00 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932) L. 38”. 
This is a very unusual iris that blossoms very late. An 
Oriental blend of color, its standards are creamy buff faintly 
edged lavender. The falls very rich, velvety chestnut merg- 
ing into purple thence imperceptibly fading to a margin 
that repeats the color of the standards. Beard is rich orange. 
25c; 3 for 60c
