RHAPSODY. Blend of brown and pur- 
ple, most unusual. Grows and blooms 
well. $1.00 
ROSELAND. Rose bi-color. Rosy stan- 
dards with deeper rose-red falls. Blooms 
late and color is most attractive. $1.00 
ROYAL COACH. Yellow plicata. Early 
to mid-season, medium height, this 
yellow-flowered plicata has dottings of 
brown. Flowers are tailored, wonderful 
substance and always a great deal of 
bloom. Hardy and a generous multi- 
plier. .50 
ROYAL SCOT. Plicata. A “loud” iris as 
the name suggests. Grows and blooms 
well here. Since this is our favorite 
iris class, the plicatas, we naturally rate 
this tops. $7.50 
RUTH POLLOCK. Plicata.. Another of 
our favorites. Blooms later than Royal 
Coach, just prior to Balmung and Sieg- 
fried. This rosy-splashed yellow plicata 
is most choice. $2.50

violet, one ‘of the darkest. It seldom 
gets over 327-34” tall for us. Color 
makes visitors gasp. $2.00

Choice color, most attractive. Grown in 
partial shade, protected from strong 
sun and wind, you will find yourself

tall, shining iris grows and blooms 
beautifully for us. 50 
SIERRA BLUE. Medium blue. Another 
tall one, a midseason bloomer, a strong 
grower and a free bloomer. Put. it at 
the back of the border, or in front of 
shrubs as stalk is so tall it is sometimes 
forced over by wind. -50 
SMOLDER. Purple self. A tall, late, 
good one. $1.00 
SNOW CARNIVAL. White. A new ruf- 
fled number, highly recommended. Our 
comments next year. $8.00 
SNOW FLURRY. White. Ruffled blue- 
white, the most interesting in bud and 
dramatic as an open flower. We can’t 
praise it too highly. Has grown and 
bloomed wonderfull well for us. Visit- 
ors Love it «25 $4.00 
SNOW KING. White. This and Gudrun 
are two older good whites, either or 
both nice for a beginning collection. 
Both bloom early. 35

lighted with color. Early, front-of-the

another of Mr. Hall’s meritorious in-

a color stand-out. $1.00 
STARDOM. Pink. Mr. Hall states that

pink, although it does not have a strong 
pink tone.” Grows and blooms beauti- 
fully for us. : $2.00 
SULTAN’S ROBE. Blend. A 1945 in- 
troduction of California’s Mr. Salbach. 
Richly shaded in copper to red tones. 
New with us, so our comments will have 
to be withheld until we see how it 
behaves here. $12.50 
SUNDANCE. Blend. One of Mrs. Nes- 
mith’s achievements, a fine blend of tan 
and mahogany. Tall. $1.50 
SUNSHINE. Yellow—or should we say 
bright golden yellow, for this is the 
most lively of iris, perfectly magnificent 
as a clump near the front of the bor- 
der or mid-way. Grows rapidly, blooms 
generously. Highly recommended. $5.00
