SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
MODISTE (D. Hall 1938) EM. 33". 
We were greatly charmed last year by this new, smooth 
iris. Its soft, even tones of mauve blue or light lavender, 
a self of unusual harmony, are very intriguing. It is quite 
distinct from the blues and lavenders we have seen. In 
effect it’s a frothy drift, mist-like and ethereal; in color it 
is similar to the old Mile. Schwartz. Modiste is a broad 
flower of full, rounded form and splendid growing habits. 
Stems are sturdy, well branched and the beard is lemon 
yellow. We like this soft, silky lilac lavender very much 
and expect it will elicit much praise. $7.50 
MOHRSON (White 1935) ML. 35". 
Huge globular blooms of medium purple veined and mar¬ 
bled a deeper purple, with a broad yellow beard. This 
seedling of Wm. Mohr, is of easier culture being only one- 
fourth of onco-cyclus parentage. $1.75 
MONOMOY (McKee 1936) ML. 36". 
A handsome dark blue-purple bicolor with domed stand¬ 
ards and flaring falls. Somewhat similar to Royal Beauty. 
75c 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) M. 36". 
A new pink of delicate beauty. Very fine form, addressed 
standards with semi-flaring falls. It is a warm tone of orchid 
pink with considerable yellow in the throat, nice yellow 
beard. The note of pink in this iris is reminiscent of the 
tone of pink in iris Noweta. Morocco Rose, however, has 
size that will amaze those who believe all pink iris are small. 
$ 10.00 
MOTIF (Sturtevant 1931) EM. 38". 
Rich, glossy pansy-purple; self-colored, and an easy 
grower. This is one of the most handsome of all dark 
irises. Height, habits and branching are faultless. A noble 
garden subject. 25c; 3 for 50c 
MOUNT CLOUD (Millikan 1936) EM. 37". 
A tall stately blue-white with a finish of satin. The form 
is ideal, standards being rigid and falls broadly rounded. 
Candelabrum branching and a poiseful carriage complete 
the specifications of this distinguished new production. 
$ 2.00 
MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig 1937) M. 37". 
Pure warm white with a golden beard and haft marked 
attractively in the same color. Semi-flaring falls; in form 
midway between flaring and the conventional — most 
pleasing. Large sized, tall, its pure color is as enveloping 
as the snowy fields it suggests. Heavy substanced. 
$ 10.00 
MOUNTAIN SNOW (Kellogg 1937) ML. 38". 
A tall white with broad standards, lightly ruffled, very 
flaring broad falls. In color it is white with the faintest 
haze-blue touch, more noticeable in falls than standards. 
A cool white of splendid substance, yellow beard. $12.50 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gibson 1930) ML. 38". 
In blue, the scarcest of all colors in the floral world, the 
iris is singularly blest. In that glorious pageant of deep 
blues and violets, which the iris can alone display, our 
favorite is that royal beauty, Mrs. J. L. Gibson. Rich, 
velvety, of copious substance, regal form, and excellent 
carriage, it is unquestionably one of the finest of all modern 
iris. Very nearly a self, with inky-black, crepy standards, 
lustrous and silky, — and glossy, slightly flaring falls of 
fine breadth, it typifies the best of the great Dominion 
heritage. Your collection will not be complete without this 
notable new iris. (Mrs. J. L. Gibson is pictured on page 19. 
Because of the effect of violet on the photographic plate, 
the falls show a veining that does not exist for the human 
eye, to which they appear an even, velvety, deep blue- 
violet.) $1.00; 3 for $2.25 
MRS. VALERY WEST (Bliss 1925) M. 36". 
This variety represents the high point of iris development 
up to 1930 (at which time it sold for $20.00 per root). 
Even today it is an outstanding iris. The standards are 
bronzy-purple; the falls like red-brown plush. A noble and 
symmetrical flower. 25c 
MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (J. Sass 1938) M. 34". 
A most pleasing pink toned blend. The color is an in¬ 
describable admixture of pinkish-bronze. The flower has a 
sprightly freshness, blooms are medium sized, slightly 
ruffled, and exquisite color. $5.00 
NARAIN (Shuber 1936) M. 38". 
Rich absolute self marine-blue of great purity with a 
fine silken sheen. The medium sized flowers are well car¬ 
ried. An iris that will fit in the best iris company for many 
years. $2.50 
NARANJA (Mitchell 1935) ML. 36". 
A new departure in color; a yellow with a distinct orangy 
overcast on the falls. The orange note is subdued rather 
than vivid and the blooms are a bit too broad amidships 
to represent the acme of grace and symmetry, but because 
of the unusual advance in color represented by this va¬ 
riety, it is one of the most talked-of of recent introductions. 
We anticipate that Naranja will become a very popular 
iris. $3.50 
NENE (Cayeux 1928) L. 36". 
A gargantuan lilac-purple bicolor. Rather undistin¬ 
guished as to form. 30c 
NEON (Salbach 1934) L. 39". 
An old- gold and coppery-red bicolor which is outstanding 
for brilliance in dry sections but with us does not equal 
such sorts as Spokan and Golden Helmet. 75c; 3 for $1.75 
NOWETA (H. Sass 1932) M. 33". 
Nearly all our pink irises have an orchid tone. Here is 
one that is definitely a creamy-pink. Seen in the mass 
this sprightly, frilly flower is warm and melting, striking 
a color note that is delightfully different. Unquestionably 
our pinkest iris. 25c 
ORIANA (H. Sass 1933) EM. 34". 
Broad-petaled pure white of unquestioned hardiness. A 
superior sort that is quietly making its way. 75c 
ORLOFF (H. Sass 1937) M. 33", 
Another unique iris representing another color advance: 
the second outstanding brown and tan plicata produced to 
date. The creamy-yellow ground is overlain a rich cinna¬ 
mon brown which is more intense on the standards than on 
the falls. The heart of the flower has an intensification of 
yellow. The medium-sized blooms are of fine form; branch¬ 
ing is good. $15.00 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937) M. 36". 
For those with a flair for the unusual this is our selection 
as the most worthy, interesting improvement and seedling 
of William Mohr. Surprisingly, it is larger than William 
Mohr and the huge flower is carried on tall stems, near 40", 
with two finely spaced branches. In color it is a uniform 
grey-lavender with infiltrated veins and dots of violet, fol¬ 
lowing after its famous progenitor. Not only is this iris 
sensational because of its commanding size but it carries 
the Oncocyclus characteristics to new heights in the bearded 
class along with ease of culture. Another novel feature is 
its seed bearing quality, a boon to the hybridist. Its parent, 
William Mohr, has given only a few dozen seeds to hybridi¬ 
zers since its introduction years ago. It is undoubtedly a 
great break and we look for many interesting developments 
from it. $20.00
