HM 1942, AM 1944. 
PURPLE VELOUR (Marx 1952) Each 2.00

its illustrous predecessor. The color, not as dark as Sable’s, is 
deep glowing purple, near fluorite violet (Maerz and Paul).

Very early and one of the first real thrills of the iris season. 
36 inches. Early.

golden bronze, falls a bright copper red. Large brilliant flow- 
ers and superb for the foreground as it is not tall. HM AIS 
1938.

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

that attracts instant attention. Mdiseason. 
RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner 1951) Each 10.00 
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.

brilliant for this color. Rather slow increaser. HM AIS 1945. 
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. Hzight 3-3/2 feet.

form. The standards are almost solid rose, the falls cream 
with a wide rose border. The last plicata to bloom. HM 1943. 
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. HM 
1944. Picture on page 37. 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens 1951) Each 7.50

clear orange very near the well known California Poppy.

gined the color of the standards. Superior and very popular.

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 .75 
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. 
HM AIS 1937, AM 1940. Pictured on page 36. 
SALMONETTE (J. Sass 1946) Each 1.50 
One of the new pinks from Sass farms. Not large but the buds 
are the pinkest we have seen. Color is light salmon pink. 
SALMON SHELL (Muhlestein 1950) Each 5.00 
When this delicious salmon toned shell pink iris first bloomed 
in our trial beds visitors without exception praised its beauty.

sary for a top flight iris is evident. Flowers exhibit excellent

else like it. HM AIS 1947.

ender margins. Very impressive in the garden and a most 
worthwhile variety.

flower. Quite early. HM 1943, AM 1946.
