SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
MEDIUM BLUES Continued 
In the color medley of our iris garden, the rich tones of the medium blues give an impressive note. Gorgeous Missouri and luxurious 
Narain are two of the best. Sierra Blue affords a lofty spot of color while Blue Danube is an august development in near cobalt blue. 
For mass effect try Indigo Bunting.

Greatly esteemed by the iris loving public are the strong, forceful violet and dark blue iris. Their luxuriant, exhuberant colors 
find favor with even the most critical fans. The iris in this color class run the gamut from the most austere to the most sprightly. There 
is silky-black Ethiop Queen, classic Mrs. J. L. Gibson, splendid Blue Peter, serene Brunhilde, and softly lustrous Dymia. Luxuriant Lila- 
mani and glossy Mata Hari are two noteworthy additions to our list. With medleys of dark colors we have Tenaya and The Black Douglas. 
Still very much in the running are velvety Black Wings, rich Blue Velvet, muted-toned Valor, and gracefully ruffled Winneshiek. Deserving 
of special mention is endearing Amigo. Two varieties on trial are rich, clean-cut Bensor and dusky Sable. Because of space limitations 
we must refrain from mentioning more but the wealth of good material in this class is extraordinary and the future is rich in promise 
of still finer things to come.

These combinations of blue 
and gold afford some 
of the most subtle blends of color 
to be found among 
irises. Serenite is 
a bicolor 
blend of burnished gold standards and bright blue falls of heavy suede-like texture. Persia, deeper, is more silvery and subdued. Valiant 
is a bounteous new medley of blue and golden yellow. Silken K. V. Ayres, novel Amenti, and Genevieve Serouge complete this varied class.
