SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
Explanation of Classification System 
On the following pages we have assembled our iris offerings grouped as to color, with complete data about each variety. We feel 
that such a comprehensive presentation of each color section affording as it does a complete picture of each color group, facilitates 
comparisons as to height, blooming season, habits, price, tenderness, etc., and as a result simplifies for every iris lover the selection 
of what he wants in whites, light blues, pinks, purples, yellows, etc. 
The following explanation covers the symbols used in these tables. Thus, under the column labelled “season” the letters “VE” 
indicate very early blooming; "E”, early; “M”, midseason; “ML”, midseason-late; and “VL”, very late. In the “height” column, 
“T”, indicates tall varieties (36" or over); “M”, medium (30" to 36"); “L”, low-growing (under 30 inches). Of course soils and 
seasons account for considerable variation in height. In the performance column, which represents an innovation of interest to land¬ 
scapers, we have indicated the blooming habits of each variety. Thus, “AA”, denotes very prolific blooming; “A”, good blooming; 
“B“, average bloom; “C”, moderate to shy bloom. Very new iris are usually given a tentative rating of “B”, which will often be 
raised upon further trial. The symbol “f” indicates tenderness in northern latitudes; “ft ”■ marked tenderness. A small square (□) 
indicates marked fragrance. (Practically all iris are somewhat fragrant.)

Recently there have been many fascinating additions to our white iris. These beautiful flowers have tremendous possibilities for 
garden effect. At the head of the list we have that fine iris, Snowking, and preeminent Matterhorn. Iridescent Gudrun is huge and very 
popular. Tall, dazzling white Crystal Beauty and Venus de Milo are two of the best. Interesting variants are milk-white White Goddess 
and lustrous Silver Jubilee. The yellow edgings of Bridal Veil contrast with its pure white tones giving an unbelievably lovely effect. 
For a still different type we present the whites with blue tints.
