PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge 1940) M. 36”. 
A rich golden orange. Makes a very bright spot in the garden. 
Medium sized flowers, flaring in form. HM’42. AM’44. 40Q¢ 
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 Iris we regard very highly. 
HM’43. AM’47. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
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

RADIANT (Salbach 1936) E. 30”.

golden bronze; falls glowing copper-red. Vivid and intense 
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 Ivis, 
combining orchid and flamingo shades. Very large 
flower, well substanced with bright tangerine-red 
beard. A very rich and pleasant color liked by all. 
HM’48. AM’50. $10.00 
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. $10.00 
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. $1.50 
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, a most worthy addition to 
the red class; fragrant. Illustrated page 27. HM’44. 
AM’46. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
RANGITIKEI (Stevens 1941) EM. 36”.

rich combination when planted with any of the 
rich yellows or pinks. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Courtly shaped blooms. Spikes often have four

gleam. HM’43. a

RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) ML. 34”. * 
A rich red, velvety and brilliant, with a chestnut cast. A 
gleam of red, indeed, with good sized flowers, moderately 
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. $3.50 
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 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. $3.00
