PINK REFLECTION (Cook 1942) ML. 36”. * 
A nympbh-like, exquisite chamois-pink with a delicate, en- 
chanting quality. An underlay of creamy pink combined with 
the finest substance gives this flower a crisp quality. It has 
also been described as a Hydrangea-pink. Crisp and clear cut 
like a piece of silk brocade. HM’42. AM’44, 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75 
PINK SENSATION (Hall 1948) E. 33”. 
Delicate light pink, a creation of that famous breeder for 
pinks, David Hall. A bright orange beard lends vibrancy. 
Flower large, full and rounded in form, lightly ruffled. 
$15.00 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) M. 35”. * 
An Iris that is pre-eminent both in beauty of coloration and 
perfection of form. This distinguished Ivis is unique because 
of its singular color combination—absolutely clear white 
standards and smooth primrose yellow falls. “The blooms are 
waxlike and are beautifully molded. Fresh, cool, flawless in 
its purity of coloration. A very fresh and lovely combination, 
the snow white standards rising from the primrose gold falls 
certainly make most appropriate its name, Pinnacle. It is one 
of the most distinctive new “breaks” and as it is the creation 
of something entirely different in Iris we consider it an 
achievement of great merit. The good habits, branching, 
heavy substance, and colors of Daffodil freshness combine to 
give us a lovely, lovely Iris. Pictured page 6 and front cover. 
$15.00 
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. Fine grower. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
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. $4.00 
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 alluring 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 sprinkling of gleaming gold shining forth. 
A fine flower, moderately branched stem. AM’41. DM’43. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PREMIER PEACH (Hall 1946) M. 31”. 
A different type of the new flamingo pinks this one is a peach 
shade of pink with the characteristic tangerine beard. A deli- 
cate shade, very smooth and most novel. HM’46. $5.00 
PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge 1940) M. 36”.

PRISCILLA (Whiting 1942) M. 31”. 
A white that is white, beard and all. The purity of the flow- 
ers is enhanced by the classical form; rounded and fluted 
petals with excellent substance. An Ivis we regard very highly. 
HM’43. AM’47. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PURPLE GIANT (Gage 1933) EM. 36”. 
This is a striking, true purple Ivis, as fine as any Iris of like 
coloring. Good size, vigorous and most free flowering. Splen- 
did. HM’36. AM’37. 35c; 3 for 90c 
PURPLE MOOR (Lapham 1947) ML. 36”. * 
Really good purple Iris are scarce. This luxurious glossy vel- 
vety 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 exceptional. A descendant of 
illustrious Red Douglas, it carries the fine attributes of this 
well bred Iris into a rich glossy purple. See color plate page 
29, $5.00 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) E. 30”.

and outstanding for foreground planting. HM’38. 
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, combining orchid and 
flamingo shades. Very large flowers, well substanced with 
bright tangerine-red beard. A very rich and pleasant color 
liked by all. HM’48. $15.00 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946) M. 34”. 
Dulcet buff and cream forms the background with accent 
points of apricot-buff shadings, the whole complemented by 
a blaze of blue in the center of each fall just below the yellow 
beard. The flower seems lighted from within. HM’47. 
$15.00 
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. HM’46. 
$2.00 
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 
Ivis, it produces an abundance of flowers. Late blooming, a 
most worthy addition to the red class; fragrant. (Illustrated 
page 26.) HM’44. AM’46. $2.00

it a vibrant gleam. HM’43. $1.00; 3 for $2.50

branched stems. A fine red at a reasonable price. HM’40. 
AM’"41. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
RED MAJESTY (Douglas 1946) L. 38”. 
This hybridizer has been developing a series of red Iris that 
approach red from the rose side. This Iris is a nice large 
flower, a deep rose-red with just a touch of yellow infusion 
at the very center of the flower. A wonderful grower, well- 
branched stems. HM’48. $6.00 
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 presenting a start- 
ling shade of pure velvety red—yes, a real red. Some of the 
experts claim this is the finest shade of red in the Iris spectrum 
today! The form is compact, neatly rounded and the falls 
flare nicely. Moderate in height and size, it is an outstanding 
and bright new Iris. HM’47. $4.00
