SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
DYMIA (Shuber 1936) M. 38". 
A fine blue-violet self with a dark blue beard and no haft 
markings. A pleasant uniformity of coloring makes this 
tall, well-branched iris especially desirable as a landscape 
flower. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
E. B. WILLIAMSON (P. Cook 1937) M. 36". 
A new light rosy-copper blend of lustrous, silken sheen. 
Low branched stems, unusual vigor, nice size; a blending 
of restless colors that shine and sparkle many-hued from a 
self-colored flower. $7.50 
ECLADOR (Cayeux 1932) ML. 33". 
From the magic hand of Cayeux comes this superlatively 
beautiful new yellow. Unrivalled in grace and symmetry, 
this delightful iris possesses a uniform clear tone of crystal¬ 
line canary yellow, with just a touch of golden-brown vena¬ 
tion at the haft, reminding one of the soft brown lines in 
the throats of waxy yellow “lady slippers.” No yellow iris 
surpasses Eclador in exquisiteness of sheen, its texture being 
of the fine type known as “enameled.” Like several of the 
yellows its standards display a charming touch of fluting. 
No up-to-date collection is complete without this captivat¬ 
ing iris. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
EL CAPITAN (Mohr-Mitchell 1926) M. 40". 
A truly majestic iris of soft lavender-blue coloring and 
unbeatable candelabrum branching. In form slightly lan¬ 
guid. One of the largest irises ever produced and one of the 
must haves of every collection. 25c 
ELECTRA (J- Sass 1935) E. 36". 
A hardy early-blooming plicata with blue margins on a 
white ground and golden-brown venation along the haft. 
Blooms are well rounded and of good size. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
ELKHART (Lapham 1937) M. 36". 
Chestnut-red, very velvety falls and pronounced red 
standards on tall stem A seedling of Ethel Peckham and 
King Tut, it has the haft venation and color flash that old, 
popular King Tut carried. $1.00 
ELLA WINCHESTER (Grinter 1935) M. 36". 
This glowing mahogany red with its long velvety falls 
made a decided hit last year. 75c; 3 for $1.75 
ELSA SASS (H. P, Sass 1939) L. 36". 
One of the most enticing colors imaginable. In a flood 
of yellows this quiescent, average-sized yellow has endeared 
itself to all who have seen it. A bewitching pure sulphur 
and chalcedony yellow. The color is frosty and cool in 
tone. The elusive qualities of this flower are hard to por¬ 
tray. Interesting too, is the apparent deepening of color 
especially along the beard and this soft color handsomely 
contrasts with the white blaze on the center of each fall. 
Slim and pillar-like form on branched stems. $20.00 
EROS (Mead 1934) M. 40". 
A tall salmon or coral pink. The color is very lovely but 
the blooms are the least bit disproportionately small for 
the stem. 35c; 3 for 75c 
ETHEL PECKHAM (Williamson 1932) M. 34". 
Large flowers of lustrous, brilliant red. Perfeetly formed 
blooms, arching standards, drooping, broad falls. One of 
the most popular of the newer reds. 35c; 3 for 75c 
ETHELWYN DUBUAR (Lapham 1932) ML. 34". 
A large-flowered orchid-pink with soft lemon-yellow 
beard. Very attractive. 25c 
ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner 1938) ML. 34". 
The new “black” iris; practically a self. The standards 
are deepest black-purple and the sheen of the heavy falls 
is so lustrous that a large part of their area appears literally 
black, reminding one of the color of black pansies whieh 
are also literally black save for a blending of deepest purple 
near the edges and the center. (Pictured on page 6.) 
$ 10.00 
EVELYN BENSON (Murrell 1931) M. 32". 
Deep rose, approaching carmine, with a very smooth, 
enameled finish. A color with fine carrying-power, making 
this variety excellent for landscaping. Try it with creams, 
light blues, and deep violets. 25c; 3 for 50c 
EXCLUSIVE (Grant 1937) ML. 40". 
A very large light-blue iris (pictured on page 10), consid¬ 
ered by many who have seen it to be the most beautiful 
in its color class. The light blue color which is of great 
purity is overlain with a silvery mist producing a “powder 
blue” or French blue effect. This very serene iris of opulent 
oval form would be wonderful in the garden picture com¬ 
bined with clumps of Fiesta — a warm golden-copper of 
similar form but not quite so large. Both carry subtle 
overtones of color while yet being seifs — the most reposeful 
form of color beauty. The contrast would be warm and 
novel, like an odd coppery sunset against the dwindling 
azure. $2.00; 3 for $5 00 
FAIR ELAINE (Mitchell 1938) EM. 38". 
Captivating and a distinct variant from the run of yel¬ 
lows which often look so much alike, we have here our first 
yellow bicolor. The full majesty of cream-white standards 
and blazing rich gold falls accentuated by a deep gold beard 
gives this flower a most stately effect. Full formed, nice 
sized blooms, solid, uncolored hafts on very well branched 
stems. One of the finest creations and a splendid achieve¬ 
ment. $15.00 
FAR WEST (Kleinsorge 1936) M. 40". 
Subdued glowing tones of salmon and golden-sand with 
intensified highlights of flushed coral. The center has an 
incandescent-like glow of soft yellow. A self with ruffled 
standards and a misty blue blaze on the falls near the 
beard. $2.50 
FAVORI (Cayeux 1934) M. 30". 
A real true purple, an improvement on the popular 
Magenta, being larger, richer and perhaps a trifle darker. 
Broad petals and a delightful fluting add to the beauty of 
this distinctive new self-color. 50c: 3 for $1.00 
FIESTA (White 1936) ML. 34". 
A coppery-apricot iris of uniform coloring and smoothest 
satiny sheen. The fine oval blooms are borne in great pro¬ 
fusion. A very lovely iris. $3.00 
FLORENTINE (Cayeux 1937) M. 36". 
To the plicatas with their never ending variety of mark¬ 
ings Florentine brings its flurry of color, different from any 
other. The enormous flowers are heavily striated and gran- 
ited a clear lilac-mauve; the speckling and freckling give a 
most dainty effect. Misty and cool, yet tranquil. $10.00 
FRANK ADAMS (Lapham 1937) M. 48". 
This flamboyant iris carries its blooms on about as ideally 
spaced and proportioned branches as could be desired. The 
fine form reminds one of the all around excellence of Depute 
Nomblot. It is a rosy fawn bicolor with standards fawn-tan 
blended with pink and falls rose with a tantalizing tan 
undercast giving unusual warmth and vibrancy to its colors. 
$3.50 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) ML. 38". 
One of the aristocrats of the iris world; a large lilac-rose 
bicolor of classic flaring form and splendid texture. 
25c; 3 for 50c
