TALL BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein 1949) Each 6.00 
All reports indicate this to be the most spectacular of the new 
pinks. Depth of color and substance is superior to any other 
pink iris. Large ruffled flowers on tall stems. A real triumph 
for Mr. Muhlestein. Very few plants. HM AIS 1949, AM 1951. 
Picture on page 28. 
PINK PLUME (Schreiner 1951) Each 6.00 
An orchid pink self similar to Dreamcastle but pinker and 
more beauitful in our estimation. Large flowers well spaced on 
3 foot stems. Midseason. HM AIS 1952. Picture on page 29. 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) Each 4.00 
Here we have an entirely new bicolor that represents another 
milepost in the development of modern iris. In this refreshing 
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. HM AIS 1949, AM 1951. 
PIPPIN (Marx 1952) Each 1.50 
Another giant and though the color is not apple red this iris 
is a pippin. Standards are russet brown, the broad falls chestnut 
red. A decided improvement on Spokan which it resembles in 
color. Most impressive in foreground planting. A Marquita 
seedling with slender small leaves. 34 inches. Late midseason. 
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 describe but pinkish copper is pretty close. Must 
be seen to be appreciated. HM AIS 1937, AM 1941, DM 1943. 
Picture on page 32. 
PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge 1948) Each 6.00 
Critics find it difficult to choose between Pretty Quadroon and 
Argus Pheasant for the best grown iris today. Both are popular 
and in heavy demand. Argus Pheasant is larger. Its rival blooms 
later. Both are near 3 feet in height. Picture on page 28. 
PRETENDER (Cook 1951) Each 12.00 
Soft creamy yellow standards and blue purple falls give us a 
unique and novel color combination that is absolutely different 
and a variety to excite the iris hybridizer. 
PURPLE VELOUR (Marx 1952) Each 1.50 
Velvety and rich this Sable seedling is a splendid tribute to 
its illustrious predecessor. The color, not as dark as Sable’s, is 
deep glowing purple, near the fluorite violet (Maerz and Paul). 
Medium large flowers on sturdy rather short branched stems. 
Early and the first thrill of the iris season. 36 inches. 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
One of the best of the copper toned iris. Standards are glowing 
golden bronze, falls a bright copper red. Large brilliant flowers 
and superb for the foreground as it is not tall. HM AIS 1938. 
RADIATION (Hall 1948) Each 7.50 
From the Flamingo pink line but of deeper and more intense 
color than Cherie and others. A shade between orchid and 
raspberry pink but brilliant. Truly a beautiful iris and far 
more effective in the garden than most of the new pink varie- 
ties. HM AIS 1948, AM 1950. 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946) Each 3.00 
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. HM 1947, AM 1951. 
RAJAH BROOKE (Norton 1945) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
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. HM AIS 1946. 
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. HM 1944, 
AM 1946. 
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 suffusion 
of this color throughout the standards. The most striking plicata 
to date. Early. 3 feet. Picture on page 40. 
RED GLEAM (Lapham 1939) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
The finest red iris at a reasonable price. T topnotch variety in 
all respects and just as red as most of the high priced novelties. 
HM AIS 1940, AM 1941. 
38 
RED TORCH (H. Sass 1947) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A new brilliant blended variegata. Golden tan standards and 
bright chestnut red falls. HM AIS 1947. 
RED VALOR (Nicholls 1939) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A deep red of wonderful finish and substance. Very rich color. 
Winner of many awards. HM 1940, AM 1943. 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) Each 2.50 
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. HM AIS 1945. 
REGIS ROYAL (Marx 1950) Each 3.00 
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. Midseason 
to late blooming. Height 3-3 feet. 
REMEMBRANCE (Hall 1942) Each .75 
Light pink blend and rated as the best in this color group. 
Large flowers and well branched stems. HM 1943, AM 1944. 
ROCKET (Whiting 1945) Each 1.50 
Bronze toned orange that looms in the garden like a beacon 
in the night. A strong dominant color that will blazen any 
spot it occupies in your garden. New and distinct. HM AIS 
1945, AM 1947. 
ROSE SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge 1947) Each 2.50 
Deep rose blend shaded copper and different from any other 
blend. Well branched stems and a splendid performer always. 
About 3% feet. HM 1948. 
ROSE TOP (H. Sass 1941) Each 1.00 
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. 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 
higher. Striking red effect from a distance. HM 1944. 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens 1951) Each 5.00 
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 1.00 
Visitors never fail to pause and pay tribute to this sparkling 
crimson red iris. We withheld the stock until it could be offered 
at a popular price. 3Y2 foot stems. Well branched. 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. 
SALMONETTE (J. Sass 1946) Each 1.00 
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 4.00 
When this delicious salmon toned shell pink iris first bloomed 
in our trial beds visitors without exception praised its beauty. 
In addition to the captivating color every requirement neces- 
sary for a top flight iris is evident. Flowers exhibit excellent 
substance and texture. Stems are ideally branched and the 
plant is a vigorous grower. 3 to 3% feet. Midseason to late. 
SAN ANTONE (Kleinsorge 1948) Each 1.50 
Large handsome brown described as a deep tan or sand-brown. 
Very broad flowers on stout well branched stems. HM 1948. 
SANDIA (Williamson 1934) Each .60; 3 for 1.50 
Lovely rose pink that has been most popular with visitors to 
our garden. Large flowers of good substance and very early. 
SAVAGE (Craig 1949) Each 6.00 
Red but unlike all other red varieties in our collection. Bronze 
and magenta are fused into a most striking red blend. The 
broad flaring flowers are brilliant and always attract attention. 
HM AIS 1951. 
SEA LARK (Muhlestein 1946) Each 1.50 
A different blue that is unique. Flowers are periwinkle blue 
with purplish flush in the centers. There is absolutely nothing 
else like it. HM AIS 1947. Picture on page 37
