PORTLAND. (Klein. 1938) M. L. 40 in. A tall bi- 
color. Standards are rich golden amber with a 
faint pink flush and the falls are vivid red... 
PRAIRIE FIRE. (Tompkins 1945) M. L 38 in. A 
brilliant clear blend of flame reds and copper. 
The closest way to describe this is to say that 
it is very close to a true flame color. The 
flower is very nicely formed and is carried on 
tall, wiry, well branched stalks. Stock limited 
PRAIRIE SUNSET. (H. Sass 1939) M. 36 in. This 
winner of the 1943 Dykes Medal is a blend of 
sunset shades. A very lovely and famous iris.

PRECIOUS. (Mitchell 1945) M. 40 in. One of the 
new type plicates. This is a lovely thing in 
soft apricot. There is no definite pattern of 
stitching or sanding here; rather, one color 
has been superimposed on the other, giving a 
heavily striated effect. To us, most of these 
new plicates are reminiscent of Moonlit Sea 
and other similar Sass seedlings which seem 
to have been the forerunners of the type. 
There seems to be such a difference in these 
and what we and others in general kn°w and 
have been familiar with as Plicatas, that we 
feel it would be much better if these new types 
were called Striates. That is what they seem 
to be and what they will continue to be, to us 
—come what may. So again we say, this new 
apricot toned striate is one of the loveliest of 
the lot. It has fine form and the blooms are 
nicely piaced on widely branched strong stalks 
PRETTY PENNY. (DeForest 1943) M. 38 in. A 
rich coppery rose that is just about the color 
of a newly minted penny. The blooms are 
large, nicely formed and are carried on well 
branched sturdy stalks. R. 85.00.02000000000.eeee. 
PRISCILLA. (Whiting 1942) M. 34 in. A jaunty 
flaring white that is very white. H. M. 1943, 
PROVOST. (Muhlestein 1945) M. 36 in. An irides- 
cent tone of orchid lilac with an edging of buff 
on the falls. The form is very good and sub- 
stance and texture are without fault. The 
stalks are strong and well branched. A good 
grower and rapid increaser.................-......222-2------ 
RADIANT. (Salbach 1936) M. 36 in. Rich coppery 
orange red. A very brilliant iris that is well 
named. Ho M. L948) et ee ee ee ee 
RAEJEAN. (Whiting 1940) M. L. 40 in. A large 
two-toned yellow that is a great favorite with 
garden, visitors. H. M. 1942, POR. 87.2.2. 
RANGER. (Klein. 1948) M. L. 35 in. A near crim- 
son self. This has large flowers of semi- flar- 
ing form. Stalks are well branched. H. M.

RED AMBER. (Loomis 1942) M. 38 in. Broad, 
large flowers of D. Nomblot form in tones of 
medium rose. There is something different in 
the color of this one that combined with an 
almost metallic sheen, sets this iris apart 
from others and makes it at once noticeable.
