SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
Tleiv (hues lot 
IBonsor (Connell 1938) 
Deep velvety dark aniline blue — re¬ 
markably free from purple or violet over¬ 
tones and extraordinarily rich in texture. 
Bonsor is one of the famous aniline dye 
pigments which is particularly noted for 
its richness and depth in a pure blue 
register and because this iris is so like 
this color it has been named Bonsor. An 
especially clean-cut iris of rounded semi- 
flaring form and very large size. No haft 
venation mars the chaste perfection of 
this intense ultramarine self. The beard 
is bright gold. AIS judges who have 
seen this new Connell iris have been very 
lauditory in their comments. Height 38 
inches; branching ideal. 
Price, each $ 20.00 
Ked Konsor (Connell 1938) 
A perfect running mate for Bonsor being 
almost identical in carriage, style, and 
size. In color it’s a comparably deep shade 
of red, also uniquely free of purple. As 
Black Wings is dark blue, Ked Bonsor is 
dark red, in no way resembling any of the 
reds and emphasis is especially placed on 
its depth of coloring, unlike all other reds. 
Indeed it has been pronounced by a lead¬ 
ing critic one of the two reddest iris. 
Rounder in form than the famous Directeur 
Pinelle (and of course red rather than 
bronze purple), it nevertheless reminds 
one of this great iris in its regal poise and 
distinguished carriage. Iris fanciers will 
recall that it was Mr. Connell who gave 
us our first great red iris, Dauntless." We 
believe that this new pair from Dauntless 
Hill will achieve as wide a popularity as 
their famous predecessor. Height 38 
inches; branching excellent. 
Price, each $ 20.00 
Ethiop Qiieon (Schreiner 1938) 
"And that starred Ethiop Queen — ” 
Milton. 
The nearest approach that we know of 
to a black iris; the result of a successive 
continued concentration toward depth of 
coloring on the part of several hybridizers. 
The standards are deepest black-purple
