RAJAH BROOKE. (Norton) Variagata fanciers will be surprised when you see this one. It’s 
different. It’s a honey. Standards topaz in color; falls pigeon blood red, with wide border of 
topaz on falls. Large burnished gold beard. A fancier’s flower; its beauty will grow on you. 
Large flower of flowing lines, well spaced and branched. 38 inches tall. H. M. 1946. .Each $5.00 
RAMESES (Sass, 1929). A symphony in rose,pink and buff shading to yellow near the ed- 
ges, and with a yellow glow at the heart ..............Each .25; Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $7.00 
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, sure producer of flowers and lots of them, with straight stems and fine 
branching ss\Vervularge. $6 inches tall. t)o: . 0.52020 vere ta hee. Each $3.00; Per 10, $25.00 
REBELLION. Smooth and velvety, deep blood-red, almost a duplicate of Burning Bronze,

RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1937). (903) M. 40 inches. We think this is one of the very 
finest Irises w2 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 bloom swell here....Each .75; Per 10 $6.00

ROSE TOP (H. Sass, 1941). This bright rose-pink plicata provided the greatest surprise of our 
1945 season Blooming after every other iris had passed, not many visitors saw it. Highly ruf- 
fied, the big blossoms of deep cream have a heavy pattern of vivid rose-pink stitching which 
seems to possess exceptional carrying quality.Viewed a block distant it looks like a red and
