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 allur- 
ing Iris by a word description. Half the colors of the 
rainbow are coalesced in the loveliest, most luscious, 
breath-taking combination imaginable. In its tints we 
have pink, rose, apricot, peach, with a radiant sprink- 
ling of gleaming gold shining forth. A fine flower, 
moderately branched stem. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PREMIER PEACH (Hall 1946) M. 34”. 
A different type of the new flamingo pinks this one is 
a peach shade of pink with the characteristic tangerine 
beard. A delicate shade, very smooth and most novel. 
$8.00 
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. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
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 
PURPLE MOOR (Lapham 1947) ML. 36”. 
Really good purple Iris are scarce. This luxurious 
glossy velvety purple is a handsome Iris, massively 
broad and full formed. The round, full petals possess 
an unusually heavy, lustrous sheen like richest velvet. 
In color it is the general shading of Master Charles in 
a flower half again as large. Smoothly colored, the 
flower is entirely self colored even to the full broad 
hafts which are solidly shaded the same glossy purple. 
We consider this Iris an exceptional plant. A descend- 
ent of illustrious The Red Douglas, it carries the fine 
attributes of this well bred Iris into a new creation of 
rich glossy purple. See color plate on page 18. $7.50 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) E. 30”. 
One of the most brilliant Iris in the garden. Standards 
are golden bronze; falls glowing copper-red. Vivid and 
intense, and outstanding for foreground planting. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
RADIATION (Hall 1948) EM. 33”. 
Not exactly an orchid pink this Iris has popularly been 
called the “strawberry blond” coloring in Iris, com- 
bining orchid and flamingo shades. Very large flowers, 
well substanced with bright tangerine-red beard. A 
very rich and pleasant color and held in high estima- 
tion by the Iris experts. $20.00 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946) M. 34”. 
Dulcet buff and cream forms the background with 
accent points of apricot-buff shadings, the whole com- 
plemented by a blaze of blue in the center of each fall 
just below the yellow beard. The flower is lighted from 
within. It stirs you and warms you. $20.00 
RAJAH BROOKE (Norton 1945) M. 36”. 
Luxurious smoothness of finish is the appealing quality 
in this Iris, smooth to the very throat. A lush velvety 
topaz bronze and brown mahogany bitone of great 
charm. Not a vein mars this smoothly colored Iris. 
Handsome. $3.00 
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 
blooming, it is a worthy addition to the red class. 
$3.00 
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. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50

RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Courtly shaped blooms. An outstanding new Iris that 
is accorded high praise. Spikes often have four perfect 
blossoms open at once. It is a smooth, rosy red with a 
clean haft and an undercrest of copper that lights up 
the flower, giving it a vibrant gleam. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) ML. 34”. 
A rich red, velvety and brilliant, with a chestnut cast. 
A gleam of red, indeed, and an important variety. 
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. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
RED TORCH (H. Sass 1947) ML. 34”. 
This two toned compact flower stands out like a torch 
indeed. Rich gold bronze standards with the falls pre- 
senting a startling shade of pure velvety red—yes real 
red. Some of the experts claim this is the finest shade 
of red in the Iris spectrum today! The form is com- 
pact, neatly rounded and the falls flare nicely. Moderate 
in height and size, it is an outstanding and bright new 
Iris. $6.00 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) ML. 38”. 
A superb red that gleams like a ruby; domed standards, 
semi-flaring falls. A jewel-like garnet-red with sleek 
finish like polished leather and a brown beard; extra 
heavy substance. A rich, colorful and imposing Iris. 
Shown in color on page 37. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
REDWARD (Cook 1942) ML. 34”. 
Brilliant crimson red with a richness of color particu- 
larly noticeable. An approach to red from the purple 
rather than the brown or orange side. Large and bril- 
liant with stiff flaring falls. Large flowers. $4.00 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) M. 32”. 
Deep mahogany red self. ‘The medium sized flowers 
have an unusual velvetness and are devoid of venation. 
Slow to establish, at its best it is very fine. $7.50 
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. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
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. One of the finest of 
this type. Full formed flowers, well branched stems. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00
