PRETTY QUADROON 
PROSPECTOR (Kleinsorge 1950): M. 36 in. Deep golden yellow 
that is almost orange, with falls that have a splash of clean ivory- 
white. These fine large flowers are produced abundantly; and 
are well formed with wide flaring falls and closed standards. 
It has been said that among the yellows of this type Prospector 
has no equal. H.M.,1951; A.M., 1953. Illustrated on back cover. 
Each $2.50; 3 for $6.25 
PURISSIMA (Mohr-Mitchell 1937) :M. 50 in. This glorious Iris is 
one of the most perfect, clear whites that we know of. The large 
clear white blossoms are beautifully poised on tall, well branched 
stems. May be a little tender where winters are extremely cold 
but can be successfully grown in cold climates if given a little 
winter protection. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
RADIANT (Salbach 1936) : M. 30 in. Richly colored and striking- 
ly brilliant, this sensational Iris commands immediate attention 
of visitors to our gardens. The standards are of burnished orange 
and the falls a glowing coppery red, producing a richness and 
brilliance of color seldom seen in an Iris. Medium size blooms of 
fine form, and are freely produced on low branching stems. 
Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
RADIATION (Hall 1948): E.M. 33 in. Beautiful orchid-pink with 
falls and standards of the same color. The blooms are large with 
a deep tangerine beard and a burnt orange glow at the heart.

wide. One of Hall’s best. H.M. in 1948; A.M. in 1950. IIlus- 
trated. Each $5.00 
RAEJEAN (Whiting 1940): L. 38 in. A very large two toned yel- 
low of rich warm coloring. The closely domed standards are deep 
yellow with the falls being somewhat lighter with a deep yellow 
border. This glistening flower has very fine substance and high 
branching, thus making it an excellent background flower. 
H.M. in 1941. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 
RAINBOW ROOM (Sass 1946): M. 36 in. The many shadings of 
apricot and orange-buff form the background, which accents the 
points of rich apricot-buff shadings. It appears to have all the 
colors of the rainbow. The standards are antimony-yellow and 
the falls are bordered with the same yellow, merging into lilac 
towards the center with a metallic blotch at the end of the 
bright yellow beard. H.C., 1945; H.M., 1947. 
Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00

gata that will surprise you. The standards are topaz in color and 
the falls pigeon-blood-red, with a wide border of topaz on the 
falls. The burnished gold beard is large and showy. The blooms 
are large, the branching good and the stems tall and stately.

RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner 1951): E.M. 34 in. If you like 
Minnie Colquitt you will be excited over this redder, brilliant 
improvement. The standards are almost completely raspberry- 
red, the falls gleaming white in the center of a surrounding 
band matching the standards. The beard is orange. This is a 
clean cut, ruffled flower that is one of the outstanding plicatas.

RED MAJESTY (Douglas 1946): L. 42 in. A deep ‘‘rose-red”’ with 
a slight yellow infusion at the center of the flower. The blooms
