SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
DECENNIAL (Williamson 1930) M. 34". 
An iris displaying a novel variation in coloring: Standards 
picric yellow; falls velvety blue purple. No other variegata 
has just this color. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DEPUTE NOMBLOT (Cayeux 1929) ML. 48". 
One of the milestones in the development of the modern 
iris — a robust giant; tall, full-petaled, courtly. Standards 
are a rosy purple shot with an infusion of bronze; the 
bright-bearded falls are a rich claret-crimson. In every 
way a great iris. 25c 
DESERET (Thorup 1936) M. 40". 
A novelty variegata of luxurious coloring. Standards 
clear rich yellow; falls the same color overbrushed or 
“embossed" a velvety, bricky red. $1.50 
DESERT GOLD (Kirkland 1929) E. 32". 
A large bright yellow of rounded form, valuable for fore¬ 
ground plantings. 25c 
DESTINY (Burgess 1934) M. 38". 
This Antipodean origination which has made quite a 
name for itself in England, is a rich, sombre-toned iris with 
exceedingly velvety, broad falls of black plum-purple color¬ 
ing, deep purple standards, and a rich gold beard. Destiny 
is especially effective in the garden when planted with 
Beowulf, a complimentary color in maroon. $3.50 
DIRECTEDR PINELLE (Cayeux 1932) M. 42". 
Each year we look forward to the blooming of this mag¬ 
nificent bronze-purple which for size, beauty, precision of 
form, branching and height represents almost the standard 
of perfection among present-day irises. Some much heralded 
introductions derive a measure of extra publicity from the 
pro and con discussion which they evoke, but this master¬ 
piece from Mons. Cayeux took its position among the iris 
great practically without any argument. If Directeur 
Pinelle may be said to have any faults, it is simply that it 
is such a heavy bloomer that is does not leave a large share 
of salable rhizomes for the iris dealer; but floriferousness is 
by no means a fault with the private gardener. 
(Pictured on page 11.) $1.75 
DOG ROSE (Insole 1930) ML. 44". 
A lovely pink iris with oval shaped blooms of a cool, 
clear tone. A tall, free-blooming sort that is fine for land¬ 
scape work. Delicate and refined. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DO RE (J. Sass 1935) M. 34". 
A daffodil type of coloring, the standards being yellow 
and the falls creamy white. A unique iris of good size and 
fine plant habit. $1.50 
DOROTHY DIETZ (Williamson 1929) ML. 36". 
A large amoena with standards of white blending to 
chicory blue and rich pansy-purple falls. A clean-cut iris 
of refreshing coloring. 25c; 3 for 50c 
DRAP D’OR (Cayeux 1936) ML. 34". 
An unheralded new iris from Mons. Cayeux, finely tex¬ 
tured and with very good substance. It belongs with the 
soft primrose yellow series, extraordinarily smooth and 
well finished. This, along with Sahara and the slightly 
more sulphur yellow. Chosen and Treasure Island, which 
really is primrose yellow and not golden yellow, comprise a 
quartet of light yellows of great merit. It is a smooth, 
limpid tone of yellow with the classical form of Jean Cayeux. 
fhe beard is exactly the same color as the flower, a very 
harmonious creation of precise styling. $7.50 
DYMIA (Shuber 1936) M. 38". 
A fine blue-violet self with a dark blue beard and no haft 
markings. A pleasant uniformity of coloring makes this 
tall, well-branched iris especially desirable as a landscape 
flower. $1.50 
EASTER MORN (Essig 1931) E. 38". 
Similar to Purissima but more flaring and with the 
richest yellow beard imaginable. Snowy in tone, yet mellow, 
with a dusting of gold along the throat. A lush grower 
inclined to winter injury. 30c; 3 for 55c 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (Cook 1937) M. 36". 
A new light coppery-red of lustrous silken sheen. Low- 
branched stems, unusual vigor, great size of bloom and 
perfect form contribute to the qualifications of this excel¬ 
lent new iris. $15.00 
ECLADOR (Cayeux 1932) ML. 33". 
From the magic hand of Cayeux comes this superlatively 
beautiful new yellow. Unrivalled in grace and symmetry, 
this delightful iris possesses a uniform clear tone of crystal¬ 
line canary yellow, with just a touch of golden-brown vena¬ 
tion at the haft, reminding one of the soft brown lines in 
the throats of waxy yellow “lady slippers.” No yellow iris 
surpasses Eclador in exquisiteness of sheen, its texture being 
of the fine type known as “enameled.” Like several of the 
yellows its standards display a charming touch of fluting. 
No up-to-date collection is complete without this captivat¬ 
ing iris. $1.50 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) M. 40". 
A truly majestic iris of soft lavender-blue coloring and 
unbeatable candelabrum branching. In form slightly lan¬ 
guid. One of the largest irises ever produced and one of the 
must haves of every collection. 25c; 3 for 60c 
ELEANOR BLUE (Salbach 1933) M. 32". 
Chicory to campanula blue with more lavender in the 
falls, which flare sharply. An iris of unusually fine, leathery 
texture. 40c 
ELECTRA (J. Sass 1935) E. 36". 
A hardy early-blooming plicata with blue margins on a 
white ground and golden-brown venation along the haft. 
Blooms are well rounded and of good size. 
75c; 3 for $1.75 
ELKHART (Lapham 1937) M. 36". 
Not a very large flower but a bright deep chestnut-red 
or brownish-red bicolor with velvety falls. A very vivid 
orange beard and a veined haft. This iris is a seedling of 
Ethel Peckham crossed with King Tut. $4.00 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 36". 
This glowing mahogany red with its long velvety falls 
made a decided hit last year. $3.00 
EL TOVAR (H. Sass 1933) L. 36". 
An interesting blended variegata with fluted standards of 
burnished gold coloring and falls of deepest oriental maroon 
with a surface sheen like glistening black silk. $1.50 
EROS (Mead 1934) M. 40". 
A tall salmon or coral pink. The color is very lovely but 
the blooms are the least bit disproportionately small for 
the stem. 60c; 3 for $1.25 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) M. 34". 
Large flowers of lustrous, brilliant red. Perfectly formed 
blooms, arching standards, drooping, broad falls. One of 
the most popular of the newer reds. (Pictured on page 23.)
