SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
MEDIUM BLUES Continued 
In the color symphony of a landscaped iris planting the rich-toned medium blues carry a strong note. We especially recommend 
massive, gorgeous Missouri , bright azure Aline, stately Sierra Blue of unrivalled height, Narain and Blue Danube, new sorts of smoothest 
finish and full-petalled symmetry. For drifts of vivid blue free-flowering Indigo Bunting or deeper San Diego are ideal.

Bonsor.

This, the strongest of all iris color sections, continues to maintain its preeminence by the addition of such outstanding new sorts 
as Bonsor, of lavishly velvety texture, Dymia, silky deep-blue self, Ethiop Queen, our nearest approach to a black iris, and the excellent 
overseas production, Souvenir de F. Denis. Older first magnitude stars are the pansy-rich Amigo, glorious Brunhilde, classic Mrs. J. L. 
Gibson, stalwart Valor, St. Louis, Winneshiek ; not-so-new but still novel Sir Michael, and that pair of splendid standards Black Wings 
and Blue Velvet. Bicolors of unusual charm are the recent importation Mme. Maurice Lassailly and Monomoy. In fact the number of out¬ 
standing irises in this color section is so numerous that it is only with difficulty that we have succeeded in holding down our listing 
to the above carefully selected group.

SERENITE 
A 
ML 
These combinations of blue and gold afford some of the most subtle blends of color to be found among irises. Serenite is a bicolor 
blend of burnished golden standards and bright blue falls of heavy suede-like texture. Persia, deeper, is more silvery and subdued. Pro¬ 
lific Evolution, silken K. V. Ayres, novel Amenti, and Genevieve Serouge and Ningal of soft afterglow tones complete this varied class.
