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. The form is 
compact, neatly rounded and the falls flare nicely. Moderate 
in height and size, an outstanding Iris. Pictured page 28. 
HM’47. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) ML. 38”. * 
A superb red that gleams like a ruby; domed standards, semi- 
flaring falls. A jewel-like garnet-red with sleek finish like 
polished leather and a brown beard; extra heavy substance. 
A rich, colorful and imposing Iris. Shown in color on page 27. 
HM’40. AM’43. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
REDWARD (Cook 1942) ML. 34”. 
Brilliant, rich crimson red. An approach to red from the 
purple rather than the brown or orange side. Stiff, flaring 
falls. HM’45. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) M. 36”. * 
Bright, rich and red! About the reddest falls of any red Iris. 
Good size flowers, nice branching. Here is a truly fine red 
Iris. Don’t pass it by. In color on page 29. HM’45. 
$3.00; 3 for $7.50 
REGAL ROBE (Craig 1948) M. 36”. 
It is just not possible to describe this Iris without sounding 
prosaic. Smooth, very clear toned light and deep rich blue 
verging to violet. Purity of color combined with style and 
finish, delighting even the most critical stylist. $2.50 
RELENTLESS (Cook 1948) ML. 38”. 
Solid deep red—not a bicolor but a self, the rich coloring 
pervades throughout the whole flower. Medium sized blooms, 
the color neither fades nor spots. One of the richest reds 
from this hybridizer. HM’50. $5.00 
REMEMBRANCE (Hall 1942) ML. 38”. 
Delicate and delightful shade of light pink. A splendid pink 
with a heavy infusion of cream that gives this lovely creation 
an ethereal beauty. HM’43. AM’44. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
NEW SNOW 
ROCKET (Whiting 1945) M. 36”. 
Outstanding and different, the orange Iris. A vivid, most 
brilliant orange chrome. The falls with their burnished finish 
lend extra depth to the color. Flowers are wide petaled and 
heavily substanced. A brilliant piece of coloring that is eye 
arresting. An excellent color likeness, greatly reduced, on 
page 15. HM’45. AM’47. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
RODEO (DeForest 1947) M. 36”. * 
Big, bold and gay. A brighter Tiffanja with creamy gold 
background patterned and speckled with bright buckskin 
brown markings. Huge blooms on tall, well branched stems. 
HM’49. $4.00; 3 for $10.00 
ROSE AMBER (Whiting 1950) M. 36”. 
A central amber glow spreads throughout the flower in a 
smooth medley and blending of rose, pink and gold to give 
a very uniform effect. Ruffled blooms on a well branched 
stem. Large bloom, well placed. $7.50 
ROSE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1947) M. 36”. 
The rose-colored seedling of this originator that has attracted 
attention. In effect it is between rose and pink with a yellow 
infusion. Nice form and well spaced blooms. HM’48. $3.00 
ROSE TOP (H. Sass 1941) ML. 34”. 
Rose-toned plicata. The needle-pointing of rose and cream- 
yellow gives this plicata a merry personality. The casual 
ruffle seems to give the flower a curtsying grace that is most 
endearing. HM’43. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
ROYAL SCOT (Hall 1944) M. 38”. 
Marked a plaid red like Highland Scotch kilts. Red marked 
plicata of a pleasing tone of burgundy-red. It is so heavily 
trimmed that at a distance it gives a red effect. HM’44. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens 1951) ML. 38”. 
With Ola Kala riding the crest of popularity for two successive 
years, it would seem that a newcomer of even deeper golden 
coloring, larger size, and more opulent form would also be 
destined for the peak of popularity! Royal Sovereign rivals 
Rocket in its intensity of coloring but lacks the olive tone,
