SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitchell 1933) L. 36". 
A very thrilling iris: the acme of color-intensity among 
the yellows. A large flower of beautiful proportions which 
represents more than any other sort the depth of tone we 
have been waiting for in a large yellow iris. Seen bathed 
in warm sunshine, a clump of California Gold is a sight 
never to be forgotten. $7.00 
CAMEL1ARD (Sturtevant 1927) ML. 44". 
Amber and dusky purple with an odd metallic undertone. 
Very tall and vigorous. 25c 
CANTABILE (Williamson 1930) M. 42". 
A fresh clear-toned amoena. Standards: white. Falls' 
amethyst blue. 25c 
CAPRI (Schreiner 1936) M. 30". 
The color is mainly a clear warm yellow in the standards 
but the falls are overlaid an attractive fawn or taffy-gold. 
The combination is soft and pleasing. Capri is a Bruno 
derivative of superb form, with flaring falls of Frieda Mohr 
type, and the heaviest of substance. Flowers are large. 
We exhibited this as a seedling at the Minnesota Iris Show 
in 1935 where it won the blue ribbon in the seedling class 
and was also awarded the grand championship of the show. 
This variety is ideal for foreground planting, being moder¬ 
ately branched. $6.00 
CHAM EUR (Cayeux 1931) ML. 34". 
An iris with broadly formed blooms of a soft apple blos¬ 
som pink color, faintly flushed lavender. 25c 
CHEERIO (Ayres 1934) M. 40". 
The red section is heavy with new additions but this 
variety, a bicolor, is one of the brightest. It has been well 
described as a flame in the garden A cheery color and a 
friendly iris. $6.50 
CHRISTABEL (Lapham 1936) M 40". 
Mr. Lapham has specialized in producing pink and red 
irises. His Christabel is without question the finest he has 
offered in the red line. A visit to his garden last season 
disclosed it as very outstanding. In the mass its coppery 
red tones enriched with a golden iridescence make it one of 
the most glowing and least sombre of the reds. $20.00 
CHROMYLLA (Loomis 1930) M. 36". 
Pure lemon-chrome with a fine magnolia finish. One of 
the first of the large flowered yellows. 85c 
CINCINNATI (Ayres 1936) M. 42". 
A new white from the originator of Venus de Milo. Said 
to be similar to that variety but larger. We will bloom it 
this year. $5.00 
CINNABAR (Williamson 1928) M. 40". 
Purple may sound like an ordinary color; yet this finely 
formed iris of rich red-purple with lustrous, velvety falls 
brings only enthusiastic approbation from those who have 
seen it. Cinnabar is a high grade iris of unrivalled color 
intensity. A tall grower with medium large blooms. 25c 
CLARA NOYES (H. Sass 1931) M. 36". 
New to the iris rainbow are the orange and apricot tones 
found in Clara Noyes. A distinctive iris with falls Veined 
rose. 40c 
CLARI BEL (J. Sass 1936) M. 40". 
A promising new plicata preferred by some to Los An¬ 
geles , which it resembles in color though carrying more of 
the blue. Tall, large, and nicely branched. $10.00 
CLAUDE AUREAU (Cayeux 1928) ML. 34". 
We have always considered this a finished iris. Unob¬ 
trusive in color, its fawn-yellow standards and bordeaux 
falls, broadly margined fawn are softly harmonious. This 
variety is one of the parents of the great Serenite. 75c 
COLUMBINE (Murrell 1930) M. 36". 
A dainty, charming starch white carried airily on well- 
branched stems. Not large but very worthwhile. 35c 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) M. 32". 
A much discussed iris. In reality a giant subdued copper 
with a golden iridescence. Not tall, it needs judicious plant¬ 
ing to bring out its color to best effect. $12.00 
COPPER PIECE (Kellogg 1936) M. 34". 
This jaunty iris of vivid coloring proudly carries copper 
epaulets on each shoulder. Below the haft this rich copper 
note blends to red and heliotrope with a blaze of metallic 
blue near the center of the fall. Standards are coppery red. 
$15.00 
CORAL (Morrison 1931) E. 30". 
We feel that this fresh-toned rose iris deserves greater 
acclaim than it has thus far received. If you like clear 
colors and are looking for a charming garden subject do 
not pass up Coral. 50c 
CORALIE (Ayres 1932) M. 36". 
A blend of pink and rose. The Dykes Medal winner for 
1933. $4.00 
CORONATION (Moore 1927) M. 44". 
In every color section irises come and go. Here is one 
whose popularity has survived the advent of many newer 
sorts Not large but tall and of a deep golden tone. Coro¬ 
nation is one of the finest for landscape work where yellows 
are so necessary. 25c 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls 1934) EM. 36". 
Ridgeway’s calls this particular color bishop's purple. 
In the haft there is an intensification of this color and a 
blending with brown, producing a very rich color effect. 
$5.00 
CROWN JEWEL (Nicholls 1934) M. 34". 
A redder Clara Noyes, verging on burnt orange in effect. 
Like many warm-toned irises, it produces characteristically 
small rhizomes. $2.00 
CROWN PRINCE (Kleinsorge 1932) M. 36". 
Burnished orange standards and velvety red-brown falls 
makes this an unusually rich iris. Not always a thrifty 
grower. 85c 
CRYSORO (Nicholls 1931) VE. 26". 
A late intermediate iris, blooming about tulip time. It 
has one of the clearest, most sparkling gold tones in irises. 
One of the few yellow intermediates worth growing. 35c 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. Sass 1935) EM. 40". 
One of the three greatest whites (The others: Gudrun 
and Snowking)*. Of the three Crystal Beauty is the tallest, 
being superb for background plantings where a tall white 
is needed. Combined with clumps of fresh blues, pinks, 
creamy yellows, and regal violets of varying height, and 
placed against green shurbbery. this stately, floriferous 
white with its immaculately chaste blooms, white as sculp¬ 
tured snow, carved to a most perfect oval symmetry, pre¬ 
sents a picture of ineffable purity unrivalled in the floral 
world. This is an iris that will eventually be in every col¬ 
lection. Exceptionally vigorous and extremely hardy. Pic¬ 
tured on page 8. $3.00 
* We omit Purissima, beautiful as it is, because of its 
tenderness.
