PALLIDA VARIEGATA Each .50 
Often called the Zebra Iris because of the striped green and 
yellow leaves. Flowers are of medium blue but the plant with- 
out blooms is a bright ornamental garden subject. Stock is 
quite scarce. 
PATRICE (DeForest 1945) Each 1.00 
Very large refined plicata and rated highly everywhere. 
Creamy standards flushed rosy lavender, falls white trimmed 
rosy brown. Tall stems, splendid branching and strictly first 
class on all other counts. Picture on,page 11. 
PEPPER (Marx 1950) Each 1.50; 3 for 3.50 
One of the most interesting yellow ground plicatas we have 
seen. This hybrid is one-eighth Oncocyclus contributed by 
its parent, Suez. Standards are soft creamy yellow with a 
wide border of light reddish purple. Falls are deeper yellow, 
bordered ruddy crimson. Entire flower is delightfully ruffled 
and possesses tremendous substance. A prodigious bloomer 
and a strong grower ideal for foreground planting because of 
its height which does not exceed 30 inches. Wonderful 
branching. Sets seeds most freely and has already proved to 
be a valuable breeder. A distinctive novelty. 
PIERRE MENARD (Faught 1948) Each 10.00 
The finest medium blue iris to date and a definite advance 
in the darker blues. Flowers are of massive size with broad 
falls, ruffled and semi-flaring. Stems are strong with 3 way 
branching. We predict tremendous popularity for this superb 
iris. 40 inches. 
PINK CAMEO (Fay 1941) Each 2.50 
Though not large this new pink exhibits clear and excep- 
tionally fine color comparable to the highest priced pink 
varieties. Excellent growing habits and a rapid increaser. 
PINK FORMAL— Described and illustrated on page 8. 
PINK RUFFLES (Smith 1940) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A Noweta type iris of even more ruffling and slightly darker 
color. Most effective in mass planting. 
PINK TOWER (Muhlestein 1948) Each 4.00 
The tallest pink in our collection. Large flowers on well 
branched stems. 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) Each 10.00 
Here we have an entirely new bicolor that represents another 
milepost in the development of modern iris. In this refresh- 
ing color break we now have an iris with clear white standards 
and pale primrose yellow falls. Large flowers are borne on 
well branched 3 foot stems. An unrivaled beauty to be coveted 
by every iris fancier. Illustrated on page 4. 
PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass 1939) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Perhaps no iris has received more publicity than this huge 
gorgeous blend which won the Dykes Medal in 1943. Very 
difficult to aescribe but pinkish copper is pretty close. Must 
be seen to be appreciated. Picture on page 14. 
PREMIER PEACH (Hall 1946) Each 2.50 
Sister seedling of the new famous flamingo pinks and ot much 
larger size. A cream peach self of fine form. The color is best 
here if shaded from the afternoon sun. Very limited stock. 
PRINCE OF ORANGE (Kleinsorge 1940) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A splendid golden orange self and very colorful in the garden. 
Medium sized flowers of excellent texture and substance. 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
One of the best of the copper toned iris. Standards are glowing 
golden bronze, falls a bright copper red. Large brilliant flow- 
ers and superb for the foreground as it is not tall. 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946) Each 7.00 
A luscious blend of most delicate tints. The overall color is 
pale buff with a hint of lilac in the standards and a big blaze 
of pale blue on the falls. Immense ruffled flowers of ideal 
proportions. Unobtrusive in the garden but a breathtaking 
beauty on the show bench. Illustrated on back cover. 
RAJAH BROOKE (Norton 1945) Each 1.00 
Blended variegata of smoothest finish and richest coloring. 
Golden bronze standards and velvety mahogany brown falls 
without venation on the hafts. Handsome flowers of flaring 
form. 
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. 
RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner 1951) Each 12.00 
Good plicatas are a forte of the Schreiners and this grand 
iris is surely their greatest achievement in the development 
of this type. Well named the immense lightly ruffled flowers 
are white with a wide raspberry border on the falls and a suf- 
fusion of this color throughout the standards. The most strik- 
ing plicata to date. Early. 3 feet. 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
The finest red iris at a reasonable price. A topnotch variety in

fectly branched stems.

A deep red of wonderful finish and substance. Very rich color. 
Winner of many awards. 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) Each 3.09 
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 
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. Mid- 
season to late blooming. Height 3-3 2 feet. Picture on page 6. 
REMEMBRANCE (Hal! 1942) Each 1.00 
Light pink blend and rated as the best in this color group

brown, the falls bright violet purple. Rather late blooming.

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 1.25 
Large soft rose pink blend with a suffusion of yellow in the 
falls. Flaring flowers of good substance.

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 .75; 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. Pic- 
ture on page 15. 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens 1951) Each 12.00 
The deepest yellow iris yet and an absolute self. The color is 
clear orange very near the well known California Poppy. 
Much brighter and clearer than other orange or bronze toned 
yellows. Flowers are large and well spaced on 40 inch stems. 
Withstands the hottest sun without bleaching. Midseason. 
RUBIENT (Whiting 1942) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
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 pau-e and pay tribute to this sparkling 
crimson red iris. Despite constant persuasion to introduce this 
fine seedling we withheld the stock until it could b2 offered 
at a popular price. Strong 32 foot stems that are well 
branched and bloom midseason.
