SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
OZONE (J. Sass 1935) M. 37". 
In addition to the usually enumerated points of a fine 
iris: purity of color, richness of texture, symmetry of form, 
grace of carriage, height and stoutness of stem, openness of 
branching, vigor, and floriferousness, there is one other 
point often overlooked, in which, along with the possession 
of all the other good points, this iris excels. This is distinct- 
tiveness or individuality. There is no other iris like Ozone. 
Once you have seen it you will always remember it. Yet 
it is a difficult iris to describe, the exact color being a very 
subtle one. Perhaps it could best be called a deep pearly 
mauve. The flower is a self except for generous epaulettes 
of warm coppery brown on the haft, harmonious as the 
chestnut crest of a sleek grey bird. A very deftly-turned 
iris and one that it is easy to fall in love with. One of the 
best of the recent Sass introductions. Pictured on page 25. 
$ 10.00 
PACIFIC (Essig 1929) E. 32". 
Like limpid blue water is this tranquil light-toned self. 
Excellent for foreground planting. 25c 
PALLIDA FOLIOSA VARIEGATA EM. 34". 
Few flower lovers know that there is an iris with the same 
variegated silver foliage as ribbon grass. This striking sort 
which has fresh light blue blooms is one of the most worth¬ 
while of all iris novelties. 25c 
PRES. LEBRUN (Cayeux 1933) M. 34". 
This coppery red iris named after the president of the 
French Republic is essentially a larger King Tut. $7.50 
PLUIE D’OR (Cayeux 1928) M. 36". 
A few years ago this was the one fine yellow iris. Even 
today it merits considerable attention and use, especially 
for mass effects. A golden yellow self of medium size, it 
is both profuse and reliable. With this fine, medium-large 
sort now so inexpensive, a dozen of the smaller, older yel¬ 
lows may well be discarded. 25c 
PLURABELLE (Cayeux 1933) M. 38". 
Well-branched stems carry this graceful fleur-de-lis of 
golden Chinese amber and smoothly lacquered mauve. 
$5.00 
PRES. P1LKINGTON (Cayeux 1931) ML. 40". 
One of the largest and most exquisite of the blends. A 
pale crystalline buff heavily infused lavender, especially in 
the falls. A magnificently proportioned iris full of subtle 
overtones. 60c 
PRINCESS OSRA (Bliss 1921) EM. 30". 
The one plicata whose snowy ground is polka-dotted with 
bright blue stipplings thruout the flower instead of being 
merely margined with colored veinings. 25c 
PARTHENON (Connell 1934) M. 37". 
A smooth, chalky white of heavy substance with pale 
gold veins and beard. Tall, vigorous, and hardy. A white 
of large size and unusually fine form. We expect that 
Parthenon and Oriana. along with the newer Gudrun, Crystal 
Beauty , and Snowking will soon displace the more tender 
white varieties. $1.50 
PAULETTE (Millet 1930) M. 38". 
This giant iris has falls so broad that they measure three 
and one-half inches across (more than the width of this 
column) — the flower itself being one of the most gigantic 
in all irisdom. Unlike some other extra large varieties, it 
has very good color (a uniform light lavender-blue), heavy 
substance, and splendid branching. A descendant of Souve- 
nier de Loetitia Michaud , it has much of the refinement of 
that flower. A very tall grower. 50c 
PEACEMAKER (Mitchell 1934) EM. 40". 
A cool oyster-white to porcelain blue, with large flowers 
and tall stems. The color is a superb foil for planting, this 
variety being indeed a peace-maker among many different 
hues. 75c 
PERSIA (Ayres 1929) M. 38". 
One of the most distinctive of all varieties. A blend of 
silvery lavender, dove grey, and rich purple. Very beau¬ 
tiful. 50c 
PROF. S. B. MITCHELL (Cayeux 1933) M. 30". 
Sumptuous claret-purple or deep wine color. Free flow¬ 
ering and brilliant. $6.00 
PURPLE GIANT (Gage 1933) M. 34". 
A striking new purple of huge size. Introduced without 
fanfare, this gigantic iris is achieving popularity beyond 
the originator's expectations. Our stock is very limited. 
$3.00 
PURISSIMA (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) M. 40". 
A cool, clear, crisp starch white of classic flaring form 
and splendid height. For a long time this iris was consid¬ 
ered the leading white, and while it is still the equal of any 
for beauty, its proneness to winter injury is curtailing its 
popularity in northern sections. 35c 
RAMESES (H. Sass 1929) ML. 38". 
Another of the great Dykes Medal irises — a stalwart 
giant in tones of golden buff and rosy pink, pictured in the 
individual bloom on page 6. This iris is a rampant grower, 
a single clump often displaying a score or more of open 
blooms at one time. We recommend Rameses as one of 
the finest of the new pink blends. A very tall grower. 25c 
RED DOMINION (Ayres 1931) ML. 32". 
A Dominion type bloom of lustrous wine-red; very in¬ 
tense and velvety. A high class iris. $1.00 
PHEBUS (Cayeux 1930) M. 36". 
The crisp, trim form of lovely Phebus and its pleasing 
lemon-yellow color have always found favor with us. The 
sturdy stalks of this meritorious iris often carry an unusual 
number of airily poised blooms open at one time. 60c 
RED RADIANCE (Grinter 1932) ML. 34". 
A glowing velvety red somewhat like Dauntless but 
nevertheless distinct from it. Finely branched and very 
floriferous. In the mass this variety seems to surpass many 
of the more highly rated red varieties. $1.00 
PICADOR (Morrison 1930) ML. 36". 
A vigorous blended variegata with standards of tarnished 
gold and falls a brown carmine. $1.00 
PINK OPAL (J. Sass 1934) M. 38". 
An ethereal, feminine flower of opulent rounded form; in 
color a serenely chaste tone of light orchid pink. Easily 
one of the most beautiful of the pink irises. Large and 
tall and a very easy grower. 50c 
PINK SATIN (J. Sass 1930) M. 36". 
Sister of Pink Opal: a bit more fragile, a bit pinker, a 
bit more illustrious. One of the greatest pink irises. 50c 
RED ROBE (Nicholls 1930) L. 30". 
This lavishly rich ruby-red of medium height should 
delight the color enthusiast. The blooms are large and 
velvety. $1.00 
REDWING (H. Sass 1926) M. 36". 
An older variety of dusky maroon-brown, the herald of 
a new race of reds. 25c 
RENE CAYEUX (Cayeux 1924) M. 30". 
Here is a school-girl combination of blush pink standards 
and rich rosy falls. No newer iris of this coloring has been 
produced to take its place. 25c
