SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
CALIFORNIA GOLD 
CABALLERO (Nicholls 1935) L. 38". 
A tall, well-branched purple iris of recent introduction; 
standards rosy lavender; falls satiny rose-red. 50c 
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. $3.00 
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. $15.00 
CHEERIO (Ayres 1934) M. 40". 
One of the bulwarks of the red eolor 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. $1.00 
CHINA MAID (Milliken 1936) E. 35". 
We venture the prediction that this iris will sky-rocket 
to fame once the iris fraternity becomes aware of it. Along 
with Morocco Rose and Angelas we consider it one of the 
three great present day pinks. All three have the essence 
of greatness, yet this trinity of pinks is distinctly different 
from each other. China Maid is a large mallow pink self, 
broad in all its parts. The subtle orchid tinted pink tones 
are slightly blended with an underlay of lilac pink. The 
haft is suffused coppery pink, the beard yellow; a well knit 
flower without haft venation. It has an airy bewitchment 
and undoubtedly will be one of the most popular irises in 
the pink class. $5.00 
CHOSEN (White 1937) EM. 44". 
A tall yellow iris with flower of good substance, fine 
branching and exceptionally good form. One of the best 
new yellows, tho not truly golden yellow but rather a warm, 
deep sulphur yellow. The haft is unveined and the beard 
is the identical color of the flower. Blossoms are good 
sized, semi-flaring with rigid, upright standards. Evidently 
a prolific blooming variety. A welcome addition to the 
yellow class. $15.00 
CADETOU (Cayeux 1935) M. 42". 
An iris of rounded rather than oval form. Standards old- 
gold to bronze; falls violet-brown with a most distinct, 
broad margin of bronzy-gold. An iris whose uniqueness 
reserves for it a special place in the fancier’s memory and 
garden. $5.00 
CAFE AU LAIT (Graham 1938) M. 40". 
A fine, very unusual novelty in our glorious blend class. 
I'he flower is a sweep of one color (creamy-tan) shaded with 
splashes of orange and gold producing a delicate and artistic 
ensemble effect. A captivating new color blend, brilliant 
yet subtle. The flower is large and well formed, the spikes 
tall, and it is very hardy. $17.50 
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 colleetion. (Pictured 
on page 8.) $1.50 
CANTABILE (Williamson 1930) M. 42". 
A fresh clear-toned amoena. Standards white; falls 
amethyst blue. 25c; 3 for 50c 
CHRISTA BEL (Lapham 1936) M. 40". 
Some irises have the happy faculty of surprising one each 
season by being better than one’s recollection of them. 
Chrislabel 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. Chrislabel 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. $4.00 
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 25.) $20.00 
CLARA NOYES (H. Sass 1931) M. 34". 
New to the iris rainbow are the orange and apricot tones 
found in Clara Noyes. A distinctive iris with falls veined 
rose. 25c; 3 for 50c
