SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
THE BLACK DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1934) EM. 30". 
This pansy-violet of moderate size and height, has the 
richest, most velvety texture of any deep violet. It is also 
the nearest black of any iris in our list. A very high class 
flower. $5.00 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38". 
Mr. Jacob Sass’s new red iris. A very vibrant red of 
plush-like texture, with large blooms, tall stems, and extra 
fine branching. Though we are holding this variety in the 
trial section, we consider it most outstanding. $30.00 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres 1932) ML. 37". 
This is a larger plicata than Los Angeles. The flowers are 
satiny white with button-hole stitchings of bright yet deli¬ 
cate blue Very hardy and a vigorous grower. $1.00 
THURATUS (H. Sass 1931) EM. 36". 
A very dark plum-purple which in sunlight takes on a 
redder cast. A variety which carries its blooms with easy 
elegance. 35c 
TIGER-TIGER (Wareham 1932) M. 32". 
Coppery red with mahogany falls, nicely lacquered. 85c 
TINT O’TAN (Ayres 1934) ML. 36". 
Golden-tan flushed with tints of amber and bronze, the 
whole dusted with an old-gold sheen. $8.00 
TROSTRINGER (J. Sass 1926) EM. 34". 
An exquisite pale pink of unusual size and satiny, silvery 
sheen. This ethereal iris of full rounded form is the first 
pink anyone should buy in starting an iris collection. Its 
ease of growth and generous blooming habits make it very 
satisfactory. 20c 
TRUE CHARM (Sturtevant 1920) M. 36". 
A tall-growing plicata with edges faintly etched lavender- 
blue. 20c 
TRUE DELIGHT (Sturtevant 1924) M. 36". 
A fine old pink plicata, now superseded by Tarantella. 
25c 
TUSCANY GOLD (Williamson 1929) M. 36". 
A burnished old-gold blended with orangy-buff and with 
a rich red-orange beard. 25c 
UKIAH (Essig 1933) M. 38". 
A sombre, dusky mahogany almost black in hue, set off 
by an old-gold beard. $3.50 
VALOR (Nicholls 1932) ML. 42". 
The tallest of the deep blue-violets and an iris with splen¬ 
did branching. In color it leans a bit toward the purples, 
especially in the falls which might be described as indigo- 
purple. An iris of character and distinction. (Pictured on 
page 9.) 75c 
VARESE (Williamson 1935) ML. 37". 
From Cinnabar comes the color of this brilliant new red- 
purple of fine globular form. A real advance in its class. 
$5.00 
VENUS DE MILO (Ayres 1931) ML. 38". 
A shimmering creamy-white that is ideally floriferous. 
Tall and graceful. 75c 
VERT GALA NT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 40". 
A giant red-brown with considerable haft venation. A 
vigorous grower and very effective in the mass. 65c 
VIOLET CROWN (Kirkland 1931) M. 39". 
A most unusual iris, named by Dr. Kirkland from the 
mists that enshroud the hills around Athens, which was 
known in ancient times as the “City of the Violet Crown.” 
While there are many fine blue iris and several excellent 
pinks of recent origin, there are, curiously, very few va¬ 
rieties in the intermediate shades of lavender or mauve 
(excepting of course the mauve and yellow blends). In 
fact, practically the only outstanding lavender that is a 
pure self-color is Violet Crown. It is really a deep tone of 
lilac with a rich, glistening texture. We recommend this 
iris very strongly not only for its beauty and distinctive¬ 
ness but also for its fine height and branching and its free- 
blooming habits. 65c 
VISION (Cayeux 1932) M. 35". 
One of the top-notchers in the variegata section, where 
it ranks with El Tovar and King Juba It has honey-yellow 
standards and garnet-brown falls, with a bright beard. 
Plant habits, stem, and stature are all good. $5.00 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) M. 36". 
Last season’s tour to many gardens in the East and Mid¬ 
west acquainted us with several meritorious new sorts of 
which this is one. While we have not bloomed it ourselves 
(and hence keep it in the trial section), we feel that it does 
represent a real advance in the amoena section. $10.00 
WACONDA (H. Sass 1931) ML. 34". 
A fuchsia-toned iris that strikes a distinctive color-note. 
If you are looking for a moderate-priced sort in the red- 
purple section, try this one. 35c 
WAMBLISKA (J. Sass 1930) EM. 34". 
Cool and frothy —- a white with a blue flush at the base 
of the standards. A large flower with exceptional weather- 
resisting qualities. 50c 
WAR EAGLE (J. Sass 1933) M. 42". 
One of the largest iris in existence. A light coppery 
rose-red of huge size Rather subdued in color. $10.00 
WASATCH (Thorup 1935) EM. 38". 
Probably the largest plicata. A very broad-petaled white 
flower with even markings of medium blue. Substance is 
excellent. $6.50 
WEDGEWOOD (Dykes 1923) M. 30". 
Deep Wedgewood blue with a cool white beard. 25c 
WHITE AND GOLD (Nicholls 1928) M. 34". 
A waxy white sort with a bright orange beard. Not large 
but very effective for massing. 25c 
WINNESHIEK (Egelberg 1931) M. 37". 
One of the finest in the dark-blue color section with 
segments unusually broad and lustrous. A touch of ruffling 
augments its graceful form. Winneshiek is one of the few 
iris with a lighter margin on the falls, a feature which lends 
a distinctive touch. 75c 
WM. MOHR (Mohr 1925) EM. 30" 
As different an iris as one can have — a huge, exotic 
lavender closely netted over-all with a fine purple veining. 
Grow this iris in the hottest spot you have, selecting a 
well-drained area and working a few limestone chips into 
the soil. 25c 
W. R. DYKES (Dykes 1926) M. 30". 
More responsible than any other iris for the sensational 
advancement of the yellows is the variety W. R. Dykes. 
It was first offered at $100.00 a root. A very large sort with 
a soft, crinkly texture. Not an easy grower The soft 
golden-yellow tone often comes spotted with purple $1.25 
YVES LASSAILLY (Cayeux 1928) L. 36". 
A pearly blue flush on each petal gives this white iris a 
novel type of coloring. 25c
