PEPPER (Marx 1950) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
One of the most interesting yellow ground plicatas we have 
seen. This hybrid is one-eighth Oncocyclus contributed by its 
parent, Suez. Standards are soft creamy yellow with a wide 
border of light reddish purple. Falls are deeper yellow, bor- 
dered ruddy crimson. Entire flower is delightfully ruffled and 
possesses tremendous substance. A prodigious bloomer and a 
strong grower ideal for foreground planting because of its 
height which does not exceed 30 inches. 
PIERRE MENARD (Faught 1948) Each 2.50 
The finest medium blue iris to date and a definite advance 
in the darker blues. Flowers are of massive size with broad 
falls, ruffled and semi-flaring. Stems are strong with 3 way 
branching. We predict tremendous popularity for this superb 
iris. 40 inches. HM AIS 1948, AM 1950. 
PINK CAMEO (Fay 1941) Each 1.00 
Though not large this new pink exhibits clear and exceptionally 
fine color comparable to the highest priced pink varieties. Ex- 
cellent growing habits and a rapid increaser. HM AIS 1946, 
AM 1948. Picture on page 32. 
PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein 1949) Each 4.00 
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. 
PINK PLUME (Schreiner 1951) Each 3.00 
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. 
REGIS ROYAL 
WE INCLUDE GENEROUS PREMIUMS WITH ALL CATALOG ORDERS 35 
PINK RUFFLES (Smith 1940) Each .60 
A Noweta type iris of even more ruffling and slightly darker 
color. Most effective in mass planting. AM AIS 1940, AM 1942. 
PINNACLE (Stevens 1949) Each 2.50 
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. 
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. 
PRETENDER (Cook 1951) Each 10.00 
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. 
PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge 1948) Each 5.00 
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. 
PURPLE VELOUR (Marx 1952) Each 1.00 
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. 
RADIATION (Hall 1948) Each 5.00 
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 varic- 
ties. HM AIS 1948, AM 1950. 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946) Each 2.00 
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 (Kieinsorge 1943) Each 1.00 
Very near crimson red self and late blooming. A handsome 
iris and a worthwhile addition to the red group. HM 19H, 
AM 1946. Picture on page 32. 
RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner 1951) Each 7.50 
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 arc 
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 .60; 3 for 1.50 
The finest red iris at a reasonable price. Topnotch variety in 
all respects and just as red as most of the high priced novelties. 
HM AIS 1940, AM 1941. 
RED TORCH (H. Sass 1947) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A new brilliant blended variegata. Golden tan standards and 
bright chestnut red falls. HM AIS 1947. 
RED VALOR (Nichols 1939) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A deep red of wonderful finish and substance. Very rich color. 
Winner of many awards. HM 1940, AM 1943. 
REDWYNE (McKee 1945) Each 1.50 
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 2.00 
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 3-31 feet.
