SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
THAIS (Cayeux 1926) M. 42". 
This stalwart lavender-pink is an admirable subject where 
tall stems are required. Very fine for planting in front of 
shrubbery 25c; 3 for 50c 
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 $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1937) ML. 38". 
One of the most sensational of the new reds, admitted 
by everyone to be either at the top or near it. A very vi¬ 
brant red of plush-like substance. The blooms are excep¬ 
tionally large and well formed with tall stems and splendid 
branching. Strongly recommended. (Illustration on page 
11.) $25.00 
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. 75c 
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. 25c 
TINT O’TAN (Ayres 1934) ML. 36". 
Golden-tan flushed with tints of amber and bronze, the 
whole dusted with an old-gold sheen. $3.00; 3 for $8.00 
TREASURE ISLAND (Kleinsorge 1937) ML. 34". 
A meritorious new yellow of considerable depth and 
vividness. The medium large flowers are borne on strong 
stems moderately branched. $10.00 
TROSTR1 NGER (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; 3 for 50c 
TUSCANY GOLD (Williamson 1929) M. 36". 
A burnished old-gold blended with orangy-buff and with 
a rich red-orange beard. 25c 
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.) 50c 
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. 
$2.50 
VENUS DE MILO (Ayres 1931) ML. 38". 
A shimmering creamy-white that is ideally floriferous. 
Tall and graceful. 35c 
VERT GALA NT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 40". 
A giant red-brown with considerable haft venation. A 
vigorous grower and very effective in the mass. 
40c; 3 for $1.00 
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. (Pictured on page 6.) 50c 
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. $3.00 
WABASH (Williamson 1936) M. 36". 
Fresh toned as any orchid is this new amoena with snowy 
white standards and ultramarine falls with brighter margin¬ 
ing. The best of the true amoenas and destined for a great 
future. (Pictured on page 11.) $8.00 
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. 25c 
WAMBL1SKA (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. 35c 
WAR EAGLE (J. Sass 1933) M. 42". 
We feel justified in hauling out the word “brobdignagian” 
to describe this perfectly huge new iris. Its color is rather 
hard to describe, having a coppery tone of light rose-red. 
A meritorious novelty especially adapted for massing. 
$3.50 
WASATCH (Thorup 1935) EM. 38". 
Probably the largest plicata. A very broad-petaled white 
flower with even markings of medium blue. Substance is 
excellent. $3.50 
WEDGEWOOD (Dykes 1923) M. 30". 
Deep Wedgewood blue with a cool white beard. 25c 
WILLIAM CAREY JONES (Brehm 1935) M. 30". 
Lemon-cream of fine enamelled texture and wonderful 
substance. Branching not ideal but a very profuse bloomer. 
A new, sleek iris of splendid form. 50c 
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. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
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; 3 for 60c 
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. $1.00
