SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach 1937) M. 40". 
This iris is another of the newer race of large pinks. It 
is deeper than Morocco Rose in color and slightly veined. 
The beard is lemon yellow, and the flower is a nice lilac 
pink of full form, carried on tall, branched stalks. $5.00 
MISSOURI (Grinter 1933) M. 37". 
We have always regarded this variety as one of the clas¬ 
sics of iri.sdom. The giant blooms of faultless form and 
heavy enameled texture are a clear rich shade of medium 
blue. In every way a splendid iris. 75c; 3 for $1.75 
MME. LOUIS AUREAU (Cayeux 1934) ML. 36". 
Subtly yet delicately speckled and plicated rosy helio¬ 
trope on silvery white producing a very original effect In 
color it can be visualized as a rosy-tinted plicata. Large 
size flowers on stems that are not tall, it deserves a spot in 
the fore part of the border. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY (Cayeux 1935) M. 37". 
Here is another iris that reminds us of Amigo. It is taller 
but not quite as rich; sky blue standards, velvety purple 
falls and orange beard. A fine bicolor. $2.00 
MME. ULMANN (Cayeux 1936) M. 36". 
Blue standards with a silvery reflex and lavender blue 
falls combined with typical Cayeux styling make this 
French production one of charming delicacy. 
$3.00; 3 for $8.00 
MODISTE (D. Hall 1938) EM. 34". 
An iris midway between blue and lavender in color, an 
odd, cool sort of color. A frothy drift of mist-like mauve- 
blue or light lavender. A self with full rounded flowers, 
good growing habits, sturdy branched stems, lemon yellow 
beard. A fine silky lilac-lavender. $4.00 
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. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
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 chose who believe all pink iris are small.

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 (Milliken 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. 
75c; 3 for $1.75 
MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig 1937) EM. 37". 
Medium sized bloom of pure warm white with a golden 
beard and haft attractively marked the same color. Semi- 
flaring falls, it has the form, size and carriage of Shining 
Waters, one of its parents. Well substanced, branched, tall 
bloom stalks. $6.00 
MOUNTAIN SNOW (Kellogg 1937) ML. 38". 
A blue white that has a crispy quality in the mass that 
gives it a most pleasing effect. The slight bluish cast is 
very pleasing and the flower is centered by a very nice 
golden beard. $6.00 
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. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
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. $2.00; 3 for $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. 75c; 3 for $1.75 
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. $1.00; 3 for $2.25 
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; 3 for 50c 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38". 
Incredibly gossamer yet remarkably strong textured 
flowers of creamy white with a golden buff overlay. Though 
not a strong color its soft muted tones are shown to best 
advantage by the well tailored flowers. Domed standards, 
classical flaring falls, low, widely branched blooms, good 
size, a fine grower. $10.00 
ORIANA (H. Sass 1933) EM. 34". 
Broad-petaled pure white of unquestioned hardiness. A 
superior sort that is quietly making its way. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
ORLOFF (H. Sass 1937) M. 33". 
Another unique iris representing another color advance, 
Orloff has been likened to a sprinkling of cinnamon on 
eggnogg. The creamy-yellow ground is overlain a rich 
cinnamon brown which is more intense on the standards 
than on the falls. The heart of the flower has an intensifi¬ 
cation of yellow. Medium sized blooms of fine form, good 
branching. $7.50
