SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
CITY OF LINCOLN (H. Sass 1937) ML. 42". 
King of the variegates! The variegata by whieh all others 
are judged. This superb iris, achieved after many years 
work by the famous Sass brothers, possesses rich golden 
standards and bright velvety red falls. This is the boldest 
color contrast to be found in irises and makes a clump of 
this variety a very striking focal point in any iris picture. 
City of Lincoln possesses fine height, excellent branching, 
splendid flaring form, and equals most of the newer irises 
in size. We are glad to give this variety one of our strongest 
recommendations. (Illustration on page 7.) $7.50 
CLARIBEL (J. Sass 1936) M. 40". 
About the tallest of the plicatas. A well branched iris 
of great size whose snowy whiteness is emphasized by the 
bright blue buttonhole stitching on the edges and the vivid 
yellow beard. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
COPPER LUSTRE (Kirkland 1934) M. 32". 
A giant subdued copper with undertones of fawn and 
magenta, the whole overlain with a golden iridescence. A 
much discussed iris because of its unusual color. $1.00 
CORONET (D. Hall 1938) L. 34". 
When we think of this Iris, a soft blend, the term Inca’s 
tan comes to mind. In color, a soft golden-tan with a 
delicate underlay of rose-beige. Very much of a self. A 
seedling of Jean Cayeux and about the size of its parent. 
The blooms are well rounded and of lustrous finish. Medium 
tall stalk, nicely branched. $7.00 
CREOLE BELLE (Nicholls 1934) EM. 36". 
Ridgeway’s calls this particular color bishop’s purple. 
In the haft there is an intensification of this color and a 
blending with brown, producing a very rich color effect. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
CRIMSON PETAL (Norton 1938) ML. 33". 
A handsome iris with good garden effect. Good sized 
blooms, well arched standards and full, broad, semi-flaring 
falls. Standards are red with more velvety colored falls. 
Form and substance are good and it has fine branching 
habits. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
CRIMSON TIDE (Nicholls 1939) M. 42". 
Large deep red of balance and beauty; arched, domed 
standards with widely flaring falls of a deeper shade of 
very velvety red lightly influenced purple. An arresting 
orange beard accentuates its rich and brilliant pigmentation 
pleasingly. Strongly substanced blooms, low, widely 
branched stems, floriferous and pleasing. $12.00 
CRYSTAL BEAUTY (J. Sass 1935) EM. 40" 
A great white and one of the tallest, being superb for 
background plantings where a tall white is needed. Com¬ 
bined with clumps of fresh blues, pinks, creamy yellows, 
and regal violets of varying height, and placed against 
green shrubbery, this stately, floriferous white with its im¬ 
maculately chaste blooms, white as sculptured snow, carved 
to a most perfect oval symmetry, presents a picture of 
ineffable purity unrivalled in the floral world. This is an 
iris that will eventually be in every collection. Exception¬ 
ally vigorous and extremely hardy. 25c; 3 for 50c
