catalog marks the tenth anniver- 
t of the founding of Schreiner’s 
Gardens. Although specialization 
single flower was a comparatively 
new venture a decade ago, the intervening years 
have witnessed — along with a remarkable in¬ 
crease of interest in horticulture generally — the 
discovery by thousands of flower-lovers that iris¬ 
growing constitutes a specific hobby that is 
uniquely enjoyable. Simultaneously scores of 
hybridizers have been busy improving the iris 
to a degree equalled by few other flowers. Into 
this catalog we have carefully gathered the 
finest new varieties from all over the world, 
evaluating them as fairly as we have been able. 
In size, grace, perfection of form, and richness of 
coloring many of the newer listings are truly 
superb. 
We wish to take this opportunity to thank 
our many friends and customers for their valued 
patronage and for their numerous helpful sug¬ 
gestions, many of which are now incorporated 
into this catalog. To all our fellow iris-lovers 
we extend sincerest wishes for a pleasant iris 
season. 
Robert Schreiner.
