SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
KING KARL (J. Sass 1925) EM. 36". 
Soft fawn-apricot with deeper sandings and dottings 
throughout the flower. An interesting novelty. 20c 
KING MIDAS (Mead 1928) E. 32". 
Bright gold glows from the heart of this warm golden- 
brown blend. A very distinctive iris of rounded clean-cut 
form; especially effective in the garden clump where it is 
always a glowing mass of color. Do not overlook this in¬ 
teresting iris. 25c 
KING TUT (H. Sass 1926) ML. 32". 
A flashing chestnut red of medium size. A past favorite 
that is still an eye-arrester in the garden because of its fine 
color. 25c 
KLAMATH (Kleinsorge 1929) M. 36". 
Bronzed purple of excellent form and huge size. Lacks 
only vividness of color to be in our First Hundred. Never¬ 
theless it is a mighty fine iris. 35c 
K. V. AYRES (Ayres 1932) ML. 38". 
A giant iris of a pale silvery grey color, beautifully iri¬ 
descent. A variety of little landscape value but a gem for 
the connoisseur's collection. $3.50 
LADY PARAMOUNT (White 1934) EM. 38". 
Soft primrose yellow of large size and quiet styling. A 
W. R. Dykes derivative with tall stems and silken texture. 
$5.00 
LEGEND (Wareham 1932) M. 36". 
A vast improvement over the old iris Cardinal A giant 
gold-bearded purple with perfect candelabrum branching. 
65c 
LENZSCHNEE (Goos and Koeneman 1927) M. 30". 
A floriferous white of rounded form with a pale china- 
blue flush on the falls. 20c 
LODESTAR (Hall 1925) M. 32". 
Another color gem — small, sharp intense; standards 
vivid yellow; falls velvety brown. Unsurpassed for bril¬ 
liancy and “tone" in the garden. 35c 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) M. 38". 
Snowy white throughout save for a slight stitching of 
cerulean at the haft and at the base of the standards and 
a beard of soft yellow-gold, Los Angeles is an exquisitely 
sculptured beauty with the finest satin sheen — tall, vig¬ 
orous, well-branched — a classic iris that is a cornerstone 
of any collection worthy of the name 35c 
LUCREZIA BOR I (Schreiner 1935) VL. 40". 
A giant, late-blooming deep yellow. The fine domed 
standards, delightfully ruffled and fluted, are a particular 
feature of this iris. The long falls, deeper in color than the 
standards, have an olive reflex toward the beard, which 
pales soon after the flower opens (excepting in wet weather). 
The bloom is of good substance and the bright beard adds 
to its attractiveness. Exceptionally tall and finely branched. 
$15.00 
LUX (Cayeux 1931) M. 36". 
A finely-formed iris of a rich apricot tone with falls 
flushed raspberry red. Unfortunately it fades in the sun. 
75c 
MABEL TAFT (Wareham 1932) M. 38". 
One of the race of giants — a blue bicolor with velvety 
falls. 75c 
MAGENTA (Cayeux 1927) L. 30". 
Rich self-colored magenta or red-violet with a smooth 
enameled sheen. Flowers are well-formed. Splendid for 
landscaping. 25c 
MAID OF ASTOLAT (J. Sass 1936) M. 38". 
A new domed plicata of alabaster whiteness with blue 
stitching along the haft only. The perfect domed effect 
surpasses anything else we have seen in iris, conveying a 
feeling of exquisite poise. A serenely beautiful variety. 
(Pictured on page 5). $10.00 
MARCO POLO (Schreiner 1936) EM. 37". 
Named after a colorful personality of the Middle Ages, 
this variety is one of the contenders today for the honor of 
being the reddest iris It is a large clear-toned bicolor with 
lustrous rose standards and brilliant, velvety, crimson falls. 
The color is solid without detracting venation. A fine 
orange beard contributes a sprightly touch of contrast. One 
of the most handsome of the newer reds. Illustrated on 
page 10. $12.50 
MARECHAL NEY (Williamson 1930) M. 32". 
A rich chestnut-brown bicolor with a vivid beard. A 
variety which enjoys even greater popularity in England 
than it does in America. 30c 
MARIE-AZUR (Murrell 1935) M. 36". 
A new production from England; a beautiful sky-blue 
self comparable to Corrida for color but larger and more 
perfectly finished. The blooms, of a fine oval form, are car¬ 
ried with an easy grace. A meritorious new iris. $10.00 
M ARQU1TA (Cayeux 1931) L. 34". 
An amoena type in cream and watermelon rose. Its 
luminous cream standards, “silken, hushed, and chaste," 
are the last word in serene but warm exquisiteness. The 
watermelon-rose falls are veined rather than solidly colored. 
A very lovely iris. $3.00 
MARY BARNETT (Cumbler (1926) EM. 32". 
A profusely blooming pale blue of medium size with a 
fine yellow-gold beard. 20c 
MARY ELIZABETH (Kirkland 1929) EM. 38". 
A rose and red bicolor, fresh and vivid. Striking in the 
clump. 35c 
MARY GEDDES (Washington 1931) ML. 38". 
Pictured on page 5 is this novel iris with salmony-orange 
standards and Pompeian red falls. Winner of the Dykes 
Medal in America in 1936. $1.50 
MARY SENN1 (Millet 1930) E. 34". 
Among the mauve-pink blends this is one of the best. 
The enormous silky standards, so delicately fluted, are an 
exquisite lavender-rose faintly flushed silvery blue. Falls 
are a deeper shade. The bright beard serves to emphasize 
the delicacy of the coloring. Mary Senni is a prodigious 
bloomer and quite early. 35c 
MELDORIC (Ayres 1930) ML. 37". 
A very deep blue-black iris of great velvetiness. With us 
the intense color is apt to spot. Not an especially thrifty 
grower. $1.50 
MEPHISTO (Cayeux 1930) M. 33". 
Wrapped in a sorcery of black magic is this lustrous deep 
indigo — a vast improvement on old Louis Bel. 75c 
M1DGARD (H. Sass 1926) EM. 34". 
A soft, subdued creamy-pink of great loveliness in the 
clump. An iris of fine substance and charming form. 20c 
MILDRED PRESBY (Farr 1923) EM. 30". 
An old favorite amoena in snowy white and pansy-purple. 
20c 
MINISTRE FERNAND DAVI D (Cayeux 1930)M.30". 
Luminous red-purple of fine form and velvety texture 
75c
