BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
RANGER (Kleinsorge 1943) Each 1.50 
Very near crimson red self and late blooming. A handsome 
iris and a worthwhile addition to the red group. 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) Each .75; 3 for 1.75 
The finest red iris at a reasonable price. A topnotch variety in 
all respects and just as red as most of the high priced novelties. 
RED MAJESTY (Douglas 1946) Each 5.00 
Large rose red with yellow center. Large flowers on tall per- 
fectly branched stems. 
RED TORCH (H. Sass 1947) Each 3.00 
A new brilliant blended variegata. Golden tan standards and 
bright chestnut red falls. 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) Each 1.00 
A deep red of wonderful finish and substance. Very rich color. 
Winner of many awards. 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) Each 3.50 
No variety ever impressed us more favorably than this glowing 
velvety red last year. Elegant mahogany red and unusually 
brilliant for this color. Rather slow increaser. 
REGIS ROYAL (Marx 1950) Each 5.00 
After testing this red iris for 3 years and having propogated 
sufficient stock we are pleased to offer this new giant to iris 
fanciers and especially those who desire something different 
in red iris. An absolute self, the color is rose toned garnet 
red. Though not as brilliant as some of the new browns or 
copper reds we believe Regis Royal is the nearest approach 
to true red we have seen. Visitors who asked about this red 
seedling always referred to it as a ‘‘red’’ and not as a brown, 
copper or purple as is the case with so many of the so called 
red iris. Midseason to late blooming. Height 3 to 31/4 feet. 
REMEMBRANCE (Hall 1942) Each 1.00 
Light pink blended and rated as the best in this color group. 
Large flowers and well branched stems. 
RHAPSODY (Williamson 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
Charming dark iris with a silky finish. Standards are lustrous 
brown, the falls bright violet purple. Rather late blooming. 
ROCKET (Whiting 1945) Each 5.00 
Bronze toned orange that looms in the garden like a beacon 
in the night. A strong dominant color that will blazen any 
spot it occupies in your garden. New and distinct. 
ROSARIO (Thole 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
Large soft rose pink blend with a suffusion of yellow in the 
falls. Flaring flowers of good substance. 
ROSE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1947) Each 4.00 
Bright brownish rose pink blend of fine habits. Deeper in 
color and different from other pink blends. 
ROSE TOP (H. Sass 1941) Each 1.50 
A beautiful rose toned plicata of large size and lovely ruffled 
form. The standards are almost solid rose, the falls cream 
with a wide rose border. The last plicata to bloom. 
ROYAL SCOT (Hall 1944) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.00 
Color pattern is similar to that of Firecracker except that the 
ground color is creamy white instead of yellow. Also grows 
considerably higher. Striking red effect from a distance. 
RUBIENT (Whiting 1942) Each 1.00 
Some describe this as an Amigo done in red. The standards are 
light reddish purple, the falls deep glowing wine red and mar- 
gined the color of the standards. Superior and very popular. 
RUBY LIGHT (Marx 1950) Each 1.50 
Visitors never fail to pause and pay tribute to this sparkling 
crimson red iris. Despite constant persuasion to introduce this 
fine seedling we withheld the stock until it could be offered 
at a popular price. Strong 32 foot stems that are well 
branched and bloom midseason. 
SABLE (Cook 1938) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A lustrous black iris which should be in every collection. Large 
well shaped flowers of velvety black violet. Even the beard is 
dark. A magnificent variety and one of the finest we grow. 
SALMONETTE (J. Sass 1946) Each 3.50 
One of the new pinks from Sass farms. Not large but the buds 
are the pinkest we have seen. Color is light salmon pink. 
14 
SALMON SHELL (Muhlestein 1950) Each 7.50 
When this delicious salmon toned shell pink iris first bloomed 
in our trial beds last year visitors without exception praised its 
beauty. In addition to the captivating color every requirement 
necessary for a top flight iris is evident. Flowers exhibit excel- 
lent substance and texture. Stems are ideally branched and the 
plant is a vigorous grower. 3 to.3/2 feet. Midseason to late. 
SANDIA (Williamson 1934) Each .40; 3 for .85 
Lovely rose pink that has been most popular with visitors to 
our garden. Large flowers of good substance and very early. 
SEA LARK (Muhlestein 1946) Each 3.00 
A different blue that is unique. Flowers are periwinkle blue 
with purplish flush in the centers. There is absolutely nothing 
else like it. 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel 1932) Each .40; 3 for .85 
One of the last iris to bloom and an unusual color combination. 
Cream buff standards and reddish purple falls with pale lav- 
ender margins. Very impressive in the garden and a most 
worthwhile variety. 
SHANNOPIN (Pillow 1940) Each .75 
A near amoena something like Marquita. Soft cream stand- 
ards and rose falls. Very pretty and we like it immensely. 
SHARKSKIN (Douglas 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
An immense handsome new white iris. Leathery substance 
and purity of color are outstanding features of this spectacular 
flower. Quite early. 
SHARON KAY (D2Forest 1946) Each 2.00 
In the same color class as Dreamcastle and Harriet Thoreau 
but of warmer tone. Large oval flowers of pinkish lilac on 3 
foot stems. A lovely variety that is exquisite for indoor 
decoration. 
SHINING WATERS (Essig 1933) Each .40; 3 for .85 
Perhaps not quite as blue as Great Lakes but a splendid light 
blue iris nevertheless and still in consistent demand. A trifle 
tender in severe climates. 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig 1932) Each .40; 3 for .85 
A spectacular medium blue iris of large flaring form attaining 
great height, sometimes over 5 feet. Winner of the Dykes 
Medal in 1935. 
SKY CHIEF (Marx 1950) Each 1.50 
Majestic and towering this lofty giant is ideal for the back- 
ground. The immense elegantly formed flowers are soft blue 
with unique silver margins. We admit that there may be bluer 
iris but for size, perfection of form and the pronounced silver 
edge as well as excellent growing habits this handsome Goliath 
has no equal. Most effective when planted with yellows or 
whites. Ideal three way branched stems about 41% feet high. 
A Great Lakes seedling. 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm 1938) Each 40; 3 for 1.00 
If you are looking for a topnotch pure cream iris to plant 
with others, especially the reds and blues, this one is hard to 
beat. A superior variety of excellent habits and a rapid 
increaser. 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939) Each 1.00 
For sheer grace and charm of the individual flower no other 
variety can match this huge yet dainty blue white iris. Both 
the standards and falls are delightfully ruffled and on opening 
the flowers are pale blue fading to bluish white by the second 
day. Truly a classic iris. 
SNOWKING (H. Sass 1935) Each .40; 3 for .85 
A tall regal white iris of flaring form and especially recom- 
mended for the coldest sections of the country. This and 
Gudrun are probably the best whites in their price class. 
SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass 1944) Each 2.00 
As the name implies a rich mahogany red self of large size 
and perfect form. A magnificent variety. 
SOUSUN (Essig 1945) Each 1.50 
Early and so colorful it will brighten any part of your garden. 
A clear light yellow that seems to dazzle in a refreshing 
manner.
