toned iris. Standards are glow- 
ing golden bronze, falls a 
bright copper red. Large bril- 
liant flowers and superb for 
the foreground as it is not tall. 
.50 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939). 
The finest red iris at a reason- 
able price. A topnotch variety 
in all respects and just as red 
as most of the high priced 
novelties. $1.00 
RHAPSODY (Williamson 
1937). Charming dark iris with 
a silky finish. Standards are 
lustrous brown, the falls bright 
violet purple: Rather late

similar to that of Firecracker except that the 
ground color is creamy white instead of yellow.

iris that looks red from a distance. $3.00 
RUBIENT (Whiting 1942). Some describe this

the beard is dark. A magnificent variety and 
one of the finest we grow. $1.00

that has been most popular with visitors to our 
garden. Large flowers of good substance and 
a very early bloomer. 35 
SETTING SUN (Kirkland 1937). Deep fiery 
copper red that displays the intense color to 
best advantage with the sun rays filtering 
through the flowers. Quite late. 50 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932). One of the last
