SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
GARDEN MAGIC (Grinter 1936) M. 30". 
An iris we have heard much about and a worthy fulfill¬ 
ment to the lavish praise it has received. Undoubtedly, it 
ranks as one of the very top flight reds as we have achieved 
them in iris. Medium tall stem with flowers of smooth, 
velvety-toned vivid red. Possessing real color appeal it is 
as pure red as any iris in commerce today. Rich color, 
good substance, good form. The flowers are full formed 
with hafts solidly colored red and more glossy velvety falls, 
handsomely contrasted by the rich beard. Not a fast 
grower, it takes about two years to give its best performance. 
$ 20.00 
GENEVIEVE SEROUGE (Cayeux 1932) M. 34". 
A soft pastel blend of honey-yellow and misty blue. It 
is large and of an oddly crinkled texture. (Pictured on page 
17.) 50c 
GLORIOLE (Gage 1933) M. 38". 
Brittle, cool, sheer — a giant ice-blue of unmatched sub¬ 
stance overlain with a sparkle like frost crystals. Supremely 
beautiful, but a rather miffy grower. $2.00 
GOLDEN BEAR (Mitchell 1936) M. 36". 
Rich golden yellow of medium size without haft markings. 
Remarkably even-toned and smooth in texture. A beau¬ 
tiful new yellow from the originator of many of our best 
in this color class. $2.00 
GOLDEN FLARE (Insole 1931) 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. 25c; 3 for 50c 
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. $1.00 
GOLDEN HIND (Chadburn 1934) M. 30" 
Fhe 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. 
$3.50 
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. 60c; 3 for $1.25 
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.

GRACE LAPHAM (Lapham 1937) E. 36". 
Interesting pallida pink of unusual clarity. The flowers 
are not large but are nicely fluted and colored a delicate 
tone of rose-pink to cameo pink. A self without reticulation 
and of good substance. $1.00 
GRACE MOHR (Jory 1935) M. 35". 
We now have in commerce three seedlings of the ever 
sensational iris, William Mohr, namely, Mohrson, Grace 
Mohr and Ormohr. The darkest in color is Mohrson. Grace 
Mohr is medium in tone, though darker than its parent. 
It is not quite as distinctly veined as William Mohr but has 
flaring falls, an unusual quality, and tall, well branched 
stems. $7.50 
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 
GREAT LAKES (Cousins 1938) M. 40". 
A rather average size flower does not limit the appeal of 
this new blue iris. We believe this very pure blue origina¬ 
tion from Ontario may prove to be a very worthwhile addi¬ 
tion to the blue class. It possesses real color appeal, about 
the tone depth of Shining Waters. We await its perform¬ 
ance this season for final analysis. Viewing its first blooming 
last year, it seemed very promising. $7 50 
GUDRUN (K. Dykes 1931) EM. 32". 
One of the finest whites for foreground planting. A very 
large variety with shapely blooms of splendid velvety tex¬ 
ture (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. 60c 
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. $1.00 
HELIOS (Cayeux 1928) M. 36". 
A large, luminous lemon-yellow; falls the same color 
reticulated soft brown. 25c 
IMPERIAL BLUSH (H. Sass 1932) EM. 38". 
Silvery lilac with a creamy-pink iridescence. Large and 
tall. A very halcyon iris personality. 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. $3.00 
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. 35c; 3 for 75c
