SCHREINER'S IRIS GARDENS 
GOLDEN FLARE (Insole 1932) EM. 33". 
A gala blending of flame-rose and yellow — very bril¬ 
liant. An iris whose witchery of color causes many an eye 
to pause in passing. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
GOLDEN HELMET (J. Sass 1933) M. 34". 
A lightly ruffled iris of old-gold coloring with falls of ox- 
blood red. It has all the zip and brilliance of fiery old King 
Tut, but is much larger. An iris of excellent habits and a 
real color gem. $3.00 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn 1934) M. 30" 
The acme of color beauty among yellow irises, being a 
bright clear buttercup yellow. Not as large as some others 
in its color class, but superior to all in depth and richness 
of coloring. Very floriferous and a rapid increaser, making 
it a great acquisition for any up-to-date iris garden. 
$ 10.00 
GOLDEN LIGHT (H. Sass 1933) L. 34". 
A smartly-cut variety with crisp, unusual ruffling — a 
very individualistic iris. In color a golden yellow burnished 
orangy-cinnamon at the edges. Fully as bright as Fiesta 
but more of a golden-brown than a true copper. Also less 
smooth but more sprightly. A real gem for any fine col¬ 
lection. $1.00 
GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner 1936') M. 38". 
An exquisite new creamy yellow iris with an elusive 
charm. Its loveliness seems to lie principally in its shim¬ 
mering silkiness of texture and in the subtle infusion of 
golden light throughout the center of the flower. The beard 
is bright orange. We would have named this iris "Golden 
Heart" had the name been available, so appropriately does 
this name suggest the effect of a glowing inward light 
characteristic of this flower. A judge of the American Iris 
Society visiting our field last season on a cloudy day re¬ 
marked with surprise that Golden Treasure alone of all the 
varieties in the field seemed to be spotlighted by a shaft of 
sunlight breaking thru the clouds. Yet the sky was wholly 
overcast and the effect of glowing light was due solely to 
the intrinsic brightness of the variety. Whites, creams, and 
yellows are always valuable for "lighting up" an iris garden, 
and none more so than this brilliant new iris. Truly a 
"golden treasure" to any landscape artist. An iris that will 
someday be grown by the millions. Completely hardy. 
(Pictured on page 15.) $10.00 
GOLD STANDARD (Edelman 1928) M. 36". 
We retain this variety because of its landscape value. 
It is a creamy yellow with a golden throat and a fiery orange 
beard. Not large, but tall and floriferous. 25c 
GRACE STURTEVANT (Bliss 1926) EM 32". 
A tall velvety red-brown with a blackish lustre on the 
falls. A brilliant yellow beard sets well on this ensemble. 
If you are without a fine brown, this is your iris. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32". 
One of the three finest whites, and the finest of them all 
for foreground planting. A very large variety with shapely 
blooms of splendid velvety texture (unusual among the 
whites). Not a cold white but a warm, lustrous one — 
despite its snowy color: due in part to the warm golden 
beard and haft markings, and in part to a sparkling overlay 
of gold dust throughout the flower. Gudrun is a very finished 
iris, and one that will be the pride of any fancier’s garden. 
$1.25 
HAPPY DAYS (Mitchell 1934) EM. 36". 
This very large medium-deep yellow has fine branching 
and rivals El Capitan itself in size. There is no larger 
yellow, though others excel in depth of color and charm of 
form. Happy Days requires winter protection in our sec¬ 
tion. $3.50 
HELIANE (Millet 1931) L. 34". 
A very distinctive plicata: deep violet pencilled sharply 
on white, with a bright orange beard. 75c 
HELIOS (Cayeux 1928) M. 36". 
A large, luminous lemon-yellow; falls the same color 
reticulated soft brown. 35c; 3 for 75c 
HENRI RIVIERE (Millet 1927) L. 38". 
A pastel-type variegata: standards soft lemon yellow; 
falls rosy-lilac edged cream with a blending of canary yellow 
toward the throat. There is considerable venation on the 
falls. 25c; 3 for 50c 
HOLLYWOOD (Essig 1929) ML. 32". 
Lavender-pink with infusions of soft yellow at the throat. 
An iris of very precise styling. 50c 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. Sass 1932) EM. 38". 
Silvery lilac with a creamy-pink iridescence. Large and 
tall. A very halcyon iris personality. 75c 
INDIAN CHIEF (Ayres 1929) M. 36". 
Here is a bright “red" bicolor that is moderate in price 
and worthy of a place in any garden. Standards deep pink; 
falls velvety crimson. A prolific grower. 25c; 3 for 50c 
INDIAN HILLS (Grant 1937) M. 37". 
A rich true-purple, somewhat similar to Magenta in color 
but deeper, and, incidentally, about three times as large. 
Blooms are of good substance and of fine oval form. A 
thrifty grower and good propagator. When this variety 
gets down in price it will be in heavy demand for massing, 
since it makes a gloriously rich clump of a color which has 
unusual carrying power. $5.00 
INDIGO BUNTING (Ayres 1934) M. 34". 
One of the leading blues for landscaping. In shade it is 
half-way between a medium blue and a violet. The color, 
which is uniform thruout the flower, is very rich, carrying 
well. Indigo Bunting possesses attractive form with slightly 
flaring falls. 75c; 3 for $1.75 
IRMA POLLACK (H. Sass 1931) E. 36". 
Velvety red-purple of considerable intensity. 25c 
ITASCA (Kleinsorge 1934) ML. 34". 
Rich amethyst-purple of fine form and carriage. $5.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres 1936) M. 38". 
A lovely new iris of copious flaring form and clear buff 
or rich banana yellow coloring. Tall and distinguished in 
carriage. Considered one of the finest of the newer yellows. 
$17.50 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cayeux 1931) L. 34". 
An outstanding iris in the copper section — the Dykes 
Medal winner in France in 1931. This full-petaled flower 
with its slight suggestion of a frill has a pleasing grace and 
opulence of form. Its novel tones of light havana brown 
with a lustre of golden biscuit-tan show up at their richest 
in the slanting rays of the early morning sun. 
$ 1.00 
JEAN LAF1TTE (Washington 1935) M. 39". 
Exceptional branching characterizes this novel blend. 
The domed standards of coppery rose are broad and arched. 
The semi-flaring falls are a brilliant deep rose with a metallic 
sheen. $10.00
