PLATINUM BEAUTY (Schreiner 1941) ML. 36”. 
Entrancing, delicate pastel blend of lilac pink with softest 
blendings of lemon yellow especially concentrated toward 
the heart of the flower. The golden sheen makes it appear 
as though sprinkled with star dust. 1.00 
PRAIRIE FIRE (Tompkins 1945) ML. 38”. 
A rich, coppery, flame colored yellow blend. A derivative 
of Far West x Nylon with tall stems finely branched. Bright 
and effective. $20.00 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass 1939) M. 36”. 
A gorgeous iris and one that really needs to be seen to be 
appreciated. It is hard to do justice to this iris by a word 
description. Half the colors of the rainbow are coalesced 
in the loveliest combination imaginable. In its tints we 
have pink, rose, apricot, peach with a radiant sprinkling 
of gleaming gold shining forth. A fine flower, moderate 
stem. $2.50; 3 for $6.50 
PREMIER PEACH (Hall 1946) M. 34”. 
Light creamy peach standards and falls, a sister to the 
flamingo pinks Dream Girl and Overture, the flowers are 
larger. A pure self without markings offset by a bright 
tangerine red beard. $15.00 
PRISCILLA (Whiting 1942) M. 31”. 
A white that is white, beard and all. The purity of the 
flowers is enhanced by the classical form; rounded and 
fluted petals with excellent substance. As prim as a Puritan 
Maid. It is an iris we regard very highly. $2.00 
PURPLE GIANT (Gage 1933) EM. 36”. 
This is a striking, true purple iris, as fine as any iris of 
like coloring. Good size, vigorous and most free flowering. 
Splendid. 35c; 3 for 90c 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) E. 30”. 
One of the most brilliant iris in the garden. Standards 
are golden-bronze, falls glowing copper red. Vivid and in- 
tense and outstanding for foreground planting. 75¢ 
RANGER (Kleinsorge 1943) L. 36”. 
A self, deep but brilliant, near crimson-red. Long large 
blooms, firm textured in both the standards and falls. A 
fine iris, it produces an abundance of flowers. Late bloom- 
ing, it is a worthy addition to the red class. $6.00 
RANGITIKEI (Stevens 1941) EM. 36”. 
Gloriously rich and possessing a brilliance rarely asso- 
ciated with carmine. Large flowers, faultless form making 
a lovely and rich combination when planted with any of 
the rich yellows or pinks. $5.00 
RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Courtly shaped blooms. An outstanding new iris that is 
accorded high praise. Spikes often have four perfect blos- 
soms open at once. It is a smooth rosy-red with a clean 
haft and an undercast of copper that lights up the flower 
giving it a vibrant gleam. We strongly recommend this fine 
rose colored iris as one of the finest we have grown. $4.00 
RED BONNET (Gage 1939) M. 36”. 
Rich, dark red self; one of the purer reds. A personable 
iris and one of the most dependable. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) ML. 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. Needs a moist year to be seen to perfection. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) ML. 38”. 
A superb red that gleams like a ruby; domed standards, 
semi-flaring falls. A jewel-like red with a brown beard, 
finish like polished leather. A rich, colorful and imposing 
iris. $4.00 
REDWARD (Cook 1942) ML. 34”. 
Brilliant crimson red, startling and vivid, its richness of 
color is particularly noticeable. An approach to red from 
the purple rather than the brown or orange side. Stiff flar- 
ing falls. Though not tall, it is picked by some experts as 
the best of the moderate priced reds. Impressive. $5.00 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) M. 36”. 
Deep mahogany red self. The medium sized flowers of 
unusual velvetiness, devoid of venation and solidly colored 
give it great carrying power. A neat, trim red iris. 
$15.00 
REGENCY ROSE (Stephenson 1942) ML. 36”. 
Interesting and pleasing pinkish-rose to deep rose pink. 
A self of especially fine carrying quality. An iris that is 
quietly proving its worth, a nice iris. 75c 
REMEMBRANCE (D. Hall 1942) ML. 38”. 
Delicate and delightful shade of light pink. A splendid 
pink with a heavy infusion of cream that gives this lovely 
creation an ethereal beauty. It looks like one of the finest 
of its kind. Full formed flowers, good branched stems. 
$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. 
$3.50 
ROCKET (Whiting 1945) M. 36”. 
Outstanding and different. The brightness of this flower 
makes it outstanding from the color standpoint alone. A 
vivid, most brilliant smooth deep orange. Without question 
the finest orange iris we have. The flowers are large, wide 
petaled, classically formed and of very heavy substance. 
A brilliant piece of coloring. One of the outstanding iris. 
$25.00 
ROSELAND (D. Hall 1939) L. 38”. 
Buffy rose standards with rich, berry-red falls. Fine 
sized flowers, a bright rose-pink effect; very valuable as it 
is a late blooming variety. $1.00 
ROSE TOP (UH. Sass 1941) M.L 34”. 
Rose toned plicata. The needlepointing of rose on cream 
yellow gives this plicata a merry personality. The casual 
ruffle seems to give the flower a curtsying grace that is most 
endearing. $10.00 
ROSY WINGS (Gage 1936) M. 38”. 
A delightful fantasy of colors, rosy red vying with crim- 
son brown with a pleasing iridescence. An extremely flori- 
ferous and rapid propagating plant. An intriguing iris. 
30c; 3 for 75c 
ROYAL SCOT (Hall 1944) M. 38”. 
Marked a plaid red like Highland Scotch kilts. Red 
marked plicata of a pleasing tone of burgundy red. It is so 
heavily trimmed that at a distance it gives a red effect. 
$5.00 
RUBIENT (Whiting 1942) M. 38”. 
A bicolor of wine purple standards with flaring, blackish- 
red velvety falls strikingly margined with a precise edging 
on the falls. Called the pansy iris, the color pattern, in red 
purple, recalls Amigo. 
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
