SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitchell 1933) L. 36". 
A very thrilling iris: the acme of color-intensity among 
the yellows. A large flower of beautiful proportions which 
represents more than any other sort the depth of tone we 
have been waiting for in a large yellow iris. Seen bathed 
in warm sunshine, a clump of California Gold is a sight 
never to be forgotten. A rapid propagator which no fancier 
will want to postpone adding to his collection. (Pictured 
on page 18.) $4.00 
CANTABILE (Williamson 1930) M. 42". 
A fresh clear-toned amoena. Standards white; falls 
amethyst blue. 25c 
CAPRI (Schreiner 1936) M. 30". 
Fawn yellow of unsurpassed substance and superb Frieda 
Mohr form. If you like the odd fawn-yellow shades, you 
will find this iris most pleasing. $4.00 
CASQUE D'OR (J. Sass 1937) L. 32". 
An improvement on El Tovar but richer, brighter, bolder. 
Standards old gold with greenish midrib; falls velvety ox- 
blood red or deep maroon with a margin of old gold. 
Flowers are of great size and possess magnificent flaring 
form with the added grace that comes from sprightly 
ruffling. (Pictured on page 29.) $20.00 
CHEERIO (Ayres 1934) M. 40". 
One of the bulwarks of the red color section, a bicolor 
of great brilliancy and splendid form and size. A contender 
for the coveted honor of being our reddest iris, it has de¬ 
servedly been called ‘‘a flame in the garden.” A cheerful, 
friendly iris that we are pleased to recommend. $3.00 
CHOSEN (White 1937) EM. 44". 
New medium yellow of fine size, height and substance. 
A very promising new yellow iris. $25.00 
CHRIST ABEL (Lapham 1936) M. 40". 
Some irises have the happy faculty of surprising one each 
season by being better than one s recollection of them. 
Christabel is one of these sorts which seems more outstand¬ 
ing each year. Not only is it one of the greatest red irises 
in the individual exhibition bloom, but in the garden its 
size, vigor and floriferous habit make a clump of it a perfect 
mass of glowing coppery red. Christabel is practically a 
self-color except for a golden iridescence in the standards. 
We recommend this variety as one of the most effective of 
all garden irises. $12.00 
CHROMYLLA (Loomis 1930) M. 36". 
Pure lemon-chrome with a fine magnolia finish. One of 
the first of the large flowered yellows. 40c 
CINCINNATI (Ayres 1936) M. 42". 
A new white from the originator of Venus de Milo. Said 
to be similar to that variety but larger. $3.50 
CINNABAR (Williamson 1928) M. 40". 
Purple may sound like an ordinary color; yet this finely 
formed iris of rich red-purple with lustrous, velvety falls 
brings only enthusiastic approbation from those who have 
seen it. Cinnabar is a high grade iris of unrivalled color 
intensity. A tall grower with medium large blooms. 25c 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937) ML. 42". 
King of the variegatas! The variegata by which all others 
are judged. This superb iris, achieved after many years 
work by the famous Sass brothers, possesses rich golden 
standards and bright velvety red falls. This is the boldest 
color contrast to be found in irises and makes a clump of 
this variety a very striking focal point in any iris picture. 
City of Lincoln possesses fine height, excellent branching, 
splendid flaring form, and equals most of the newer irises 
in size. We are glad to give this variety one of our strongest 
recommendations. (Illustration on page 3.) $25.00 
CLARA NOYES (H. Sass 1931) M. 36". 
New to the iris rainbow are the orange and apricot tones 
found in Clara Noyes. A distinctive iris with falls veined 
rose. 25c 
CLARIBEL (J. Sass 1936) M. 40". 
About the tallest of the plicatas. A well branched iris 
of great size whose snowy whiteness is emphasized by the 
bright blue buttonhole stitching on the edges and the vivid 
yellow beard. $5.00 
CLAUDE AUREAU (Cayeux 1928) ML. 34". 
We have always considered this a finished iris. Unob¬ 
trusive in color, its fawn-yellow standards and bordeaux 
falls, broadly margined fawn are softly harmonious. This 
variety is one of the parents of the great Serenite. 50c 
COLUMBINE (Murrell 1930) M. 36". 
A dainty, charming starch white carried airily on well- 
branched stems. Not large but very worthwhile. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) M. 32". 
A giant subdued copper with undertones of fawn and 
magenta, the whole overlain with a golden iridescence. A 
much discussed iris because of its unusual color. 
$ 8.00 
COPPER PIECE (Kellogg 1936) M. 34". 
Deep metallic rose with distinct coppery haft and a 
definite blaze of lavender on the falls. $10.00 
CORAL (Morrison 1931) E. 30". 
We feel that this fresh-toned rose iris deserves greater 
acclaim than it has thus far received. If you like clear 
colors and are looking for a charming garden subject do 
not pass up Coral. 35c 
CORAL1E (Ayres 1932) M. 36". 
One of the brightest pinks thus far produced in iris. A 
charming bicolor of delicate shell pink and light rose. Very 
effective for landscaping. $2.00 
CORONATION (Moore 1927) M. 44". 
In every color section irises come and go. Here is one 
whose popularity has survived the advent of many newer 
sorts Not large but tall and of a deep golden tone. Coro¬ 
nation is one of the finest for landscape work where yellows 
are so necessary. 25c; 3 for 50c 
CORTEZ (Nesmith 1934) VL. 38". 
A late blooming variegata with heavy red-purple falls 
and golden standards faintly blushed rose. $18.50 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls 1934) EM. 36". 
Ridgeway’s calls this particular color bishop’s purple. 
In the haft there is an intensification of this color and a 
blending with brown, producing a very rich color effect. 
$ 2.00 
CROWN PRINCE (Kleinsorge 1932) M. 36". 
Burnished orange standards and velvety red-brown falls 
makes this an unusually rich iris. Not always a thrifty 
grower. 50c 
CRYSORO (Nicholls 1931) VE. 26". 
A late intermediate iris, blooming about tulip time. It 
has one of the clearest, most sparkling gold tones in irises. 
One of the few yellow intermediates worth growing. 25c
