PINK PLUME 
QUECHEE (Knowlton 1950) M. 36’. 
A handsome garnet red Iris with pert flaring falls ‘ 
and an airy grace. Nice stem for a red and brilliant 
in effect; a most satisfactory red. $6.00 
QUICKSILVER (Schreiner 1953) M. 37’. 
Ihe happy combination of Chivalry x Distance yielded 
this silvery, clear, light blue Iris. Of the classic form of 
Chivalry with the silvery cast blue of Distance, this is a 
garden Iris par excellence. $4.00 
RADIATION (D. Hall 1948) EM. 33’. * 
Not exactly an orchid pink, this beautiful Iris combines 
the orchid and flamingo shades. Very large flowers, well 
substanced with bright tangerine red beard. A very beau- 
tiful color liked by all. HM’48. AM’50. $7.50 
RAINBOW MIST (Stevens 1953) E. 33”. 
Far too subtle for printer’s ink is the frosty, opalescent 
sheen of this sparkling lavender-pink. So ethereal is its 
silvery iridescence that it threatens to deliquesce into a 
mist before one’s very eyes. Happily named Rainbow 
Mist is far more beautiful than the engraver would have 
us believe. One of the few Iris in these luminous 
tranquil color tones. Illustrated page 45. $12.00

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 on page 50. 
HM’47. AM’51. $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
RAJAH BROOKE (Norton 1945) M. 36”. 
Luxurious smoothness of finish is the appealing quality in this 
Iris, smooth to the very throat. A lush velvety topaz bronze and 
brown mahogany bitone. HM’46. $1.00 
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. Illustrated page 55. HM’44. 
AM ‘46. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
RANGITIKEI (Stevens 1941) EM. 36”. 
Gloriously rich, a Dahlia purple of great brilliance. Large flow- 
ers, faultless form, making a lovely and rich combination plant- 
ed with rich yellows or pinks. 75c: 3 for $2.00
