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; fluted petals with ex- 
cellent substance. An Iris we regard very highly. HM’43. 
AM’47. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
PURPLE MOOR (Lapham 1947) ML. 36”. * 
Really good purple Ivis 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. See color plate 
below. $3.00; 3 for $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. 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. AM’50. $10.00 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946) M. 34”. * 
Dulcet buff and tan 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 beard. The 
flower seems lighted from within. A fine reproduction page

PURPLE MOOR 
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. Iustrated 
page 17. HM’44. AM’46. $1.50; 3 for $4.00 
RANGITIKEI (Stevens 1941) EM. 36”. a 
Gloriously rich, a Dahlia purple of great brilliance. Large 
flowers, faultless form, making a lovely and rich combination 
when planted with any of the rich yellows or pinks. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner 1951) EM. 34”. * 
A plicata to excite both the color-conscious and the style- 
conscious fancier! Fresher, brighter, starchier than Minnie 
Colquitt, its clean-cut styling, jaunty ruffling and the con- 
trasting white blaze on the falls—gleaming like new-minted 
silver dollars—summon the garden visitor from afar. Admired 
and singled out at the A.LS. meeting in Oregon in 1949, its 
performance at the 1950 Midwest meeting won it the coveted 
“Highly Commended” Award of the American Iris Society.

RED AMBER (Loomis 1942) M. 38”. 
Courtly shaped blooms. Spikes often have four perfect blos- 
soms open at once. It is a smooth, rosy red with a clean haft 
and an undercast of copper that lights up the flower giving 
it a vibrant gleam. HM’43. $1.00 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) ML. 34”. 
A rich red, velvety and brilliant, with a chestnut cast. A

branched stems. A fine red at a reasonable price. HM’40.

at the very center of the flower. HM’48. $3.00
