SCHREINER’S IRIS HARDENS 
CYDNUS (Wallace 1927) ML. 34". 
Every iris garden should have at least one striking blue 
bicolor. In our estimation Cydnus, of the velvety Dominion 
race, fills the bill better than any other. Its standards are 
a very pale blue; its falls a bright, velvety blue — producing 
a fresh and vivid contrast valuable for a point of accent 
in the garden picture. 50c 
CYRUS THE GREAT Kirkland 1934) ME. 38" 
We have often thought of making a corner in our garden 
for flaring types alone. Cyrus the Great alone of the purples 
possesses this jaunty, regal style It is a large iris, rich and 
velvety, and carried well aloft on fine well-branched stems 
$ 2.00 
DAUNTLESS (Connell 1929) M. 40". 
This red self has stood the test of time. Each year in 
spite of the new sorts it holds its place as one of the leaders 
in its color section. It has velvety falls, good color, and is 
a fine performer. We recommend it and its bicolor sister- 
type, Indian Chief , as standbys for any fine collection. 50c 
DECENNIAL (Williamson 1930) M. 34". 
An iris displaying a novel variation in coloring; Standards 
picric yellow; falls velvety blue purple. No other variegata 
has just this color. 25c 
DEPUTE NOM BLOT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 48". 
One of the milestones in the development of the modern 
iris — a robust giant: tall, full-petaled, courtly. Standards 
are a rosy purple shot with an infusion of bronze; the 
bright-bearded falls are a rich claret-crimson. In every 
way a great iris. 40c 
DESERET (Thorup 1936) M. 40". 
Each year brings a large crop of iris novelties. We feel 
that Deseret is one of the best of last year's offerings. It 
is a broadly formed flower with rich yellow standards and 
falls of the same ground color overlaid with a marbling of 
velvety chestnut red. The stem is splendid. Altogether a 
striking and distinctive iris. $7.50 
DESERT GOLD (Kirkland 1929) E. 32". 
A large bright yellow of rounded form, valuable for fore¬ 
ground plantings. 50c 
DESTINY (Burgess 1934) VL. 38". 
The first Antipodean origination we have offered. The 
standards are deep purple suffused bronze; the falls velvety 
black-purple. Substance is very fine. This iris has occa¬ 
sioned considerable comment in England. $10.00 
D1RECTEUR PINELLE (Cayeux 1932) M. 42". 
Every year we look forward to the blooming of this mag¬ 
nificent brown-purple, which for size, beauty, precision of 
form, branching, and height represents almost the standard 
of perfection among present-day iris. One of M. Cayeux’s 
masterpieces. $10.00 
DOG ROSE (Insole 1930) ML. 44". 
A lovely pink iris with oval shaped blooms of a cool, 
clear tone. A tall, free-blooming sort that is fine for land¬ 
scape work. Delicate and refined. 50c 
DOLLY MADISON (Williamson 1928) E. 38". 
Similar to that old favorite, Quaker Lady, but far larger 
is this lovely mauve-pink blend with vivid orange beard. 
A very distinctive iris and one of the most beautiful of the 
less expensive sorts. 25c 
DORE (J. Sass 1935) M. 34". 
A daffodil type of coloring, the standards being yellow 
and the falls creamy white. A unique iris of good size and 
fine plant habit. $7.50 
DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson 1929) ML. 36". 
A large amoena with standards of white blending to 
chicory blue and rich pansy-purple falls. A clean-cut iris 
of refreshing coloring. 35c 
DR. CHAS. MAYO (Fryer 1924) M. 32". 
A broad-flowered pink with white throat. Fragrant. 
25c 
DUCHESS SARAH (Yeld 1924) M. 36". 
A richly-colored medium-blue with lighter standards. 
25c 
EASTER MORN (Essig 1931) E. 38". 
Similar to Purissima but more flaring and with the 
richest yellow beard imaginable. Snowy in tone, yet mellow, 
with a dusting of gold along the throat. A lush grower 
inclined to winter injury. 75c 
EC LA DOR (Cayeux 1932) ML. 33". 
From the magic hand of Cayeux comes this superlatively 
beautiful new yellow (pictured on page 17). Unrivalled in 
grace and symmetry, this delightful iris possesses a uniform 
clear tone of crystalline canary yellow, with just a touch of 
golden-brown venation at the haft, reminding one of the 
soft brown lines in the throats of waxy yellow “lady slip¬ 
pers." No yellow iris surpasses Eclador in exquisiteness of 
sheen, its texture being of the fine type known as "enameled. " 
Like several of the yellows its standards display a charming 
touch of fluting. No up-to-date collection is complete with¬ 
out this captivating iris. $3.50 
ECLAT (Gage 1934) ML. 34". 
A delicate blend of soft pink and burnished copper. Not 
a large iris but a very charming one. Admirable for mass¬ 
ing or cutting for home decoration. $1.00 
EDGEWOOD (Hall 1926) L. 43". 
A fine, upstanding pink of distinguished bearing is this 
giant rose-toned iris. A worthy rival of Frieda Mohr which 
it much resembles (except for being of the oval rather than 
the flaring type). Strongly recommended. 35c 
EILAH (Loomis 1935) M. 40". 
A soft-toned medium gold of good size. Similar in form 
to its parent, Chromylla. One of the leaders among the 
newer yellows. $10.00 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) M. 40". 
■ i A truly majestic iris of soft lavender-blue coloring and 
unbeatable candelabrum branching. In form slightly lan¬ 
guid. One of the largest irises ever produced and one of the 
must haves of every collection. 25c 
ELEANOR BLUE (Salbach 1933) M. 32". 
Chicory to campanula blue with more lavender in the 
falls, which flare sharply. An iris of unusually fine, leathery 
texture. $1.00 
ELECTRA (J. Sass 1935) M. 36". 
A hardy early-blooming plicata with blue margins on a 
white ground and golden-brown venation along the haft. 
Blooms are well rounded and of good size. $3.50 
ELIZABETH EGELBERG (Egelberg 1930) M. 38". 
A sturdy mauve-pink of heavy texture and fine branch¬ 
ing. An exceptionally vigorous, stout-stemmed variety. 
25c 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 36". 
This glowing mahogany red with its long velvety falls 
made a decided hit last year. $13.00
