PRAIRIE SUNSET. (H. Sass, 1939). M. 36 inches. With g bloom of color of a midsum- 
mer 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 of the colors of the rainbow glowing in the lovliest combination imay- 
inable. In its tints we have pink, rose, apricot and peach with radiant sprinkling of 
charming gold shining forth. The many restless colors seem to give different tints de- 
pending on the angle at which viewed; like a fine piece of changeable silk. Flowers are 
well ‘substanced, slightly enlongated in form. The stem is average in height, the branching

RANGER  (Kleinsorge, 1943). Dark but very brilliant, almost true crimson red. A decided 
self, with long cone-shaped closed standards. Now that many new near red Irises are com- 
ing to us each year, we must exercise caution before introducing another. We grew the 
best reds obtainable for comparison, with the result that we were convinced beyond 
doubt that RANGER is in a class by itself. Nearest to it is Red Valor. One of the last 
to bloom, a sure produced of flowers and lots of them, with straight stems and fine

RED DOUGLAS’ (J. Sass, 1937). (903) M. 40 inches. We think this is one of the very 
finest Irises we have ever grown and it is without doubt the finest dark red purple Iris 
we have ever seen. It is so rich and glowing and such a sumptuous beauty that every- 
one lcves it and wants it for his garden. It is almost a self of deep, warm garnet; the 
velvety falls giving them a deeper value, almost prune purple. The color is pure, unmar- 
red by haft venation and does not fade. Its permanent rating of 93 shows its very high 
standing. It is perfectly hardy and grows and blooms well here .............. Each $1.25
