SCHREINER’S IRIS GARDENS 
SHIRVAN (Loomis 1932) ML. 33". 
Like an oriental rug for richness is this glowing mahogany 
brown. Standards sumptuous, silky golden-brown; falls 
velvety red-brown broadly margined the color of the stand¬ 
ards. A high class iris with a quiet haft. 25c 
SIEGFRIED (H. Sass 1936) L. 40". 
All plicatas heretofore have been characterized by white 
ground-color margined blue, lavender, or rose. For years 
hybridizers have sought to produce similar margined types 
with a yellow ground — but without success. Now we have 
them. Siegfried is a very large flower similar to Lucrezia 
Bori in form (and sharing with it also a touch of fluting). 
The deep creamy yellow ground (“Naples yellow”) is stip¬ 
pled and dotted brown on both standards and falls. Height 
and branching are excellent A remarkable color advance. 
(Illustrated on page 11.) $5.00; 3 for $12.00 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig 1932) L. 40". 
A slightly deeper-toned companion of Shining Waters. 
A smoothly lacquered medium-blue with broad, flaring falls 
of unusual length. A true self-color that is really magnifi¬ 
cent in the clump. A good performer everywhere. The 
Dykes Medal winner for 1935. 35c 
SIR KNIGHT (Ashley 1934) M. 36". 
A large, deep-violet self of glossy texture. Standards 
domed; falls flaring. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SMOLDER (Nicholls 1937) VL. 38". 
Classically formed, trim and imposing, this iris is a deep, 
monastic black-purple self with an underglow of red. The 
richness of texture is enhanced by a velvety finish, particu¬ 
larly in the falls. Large flowers with well domed standards, 
falls curve out and down very gracefully. Tall, nicely 
branched and late blooming. $3.00 
SNOQUALMIE (Brehm 1938) M. 36". 
Originated in the same garden that produced William 
Carey Jones, this iris easily looks like one of the most prom¬ 
ising in the cream class as we saw it bloom last season. It 
has leathery substance, something we normally do not 
expect in such delicate colors. Rich, smooth creamy color¬ 
ing gives a warm effect. Well branched, good form and 
good height. $5.00 
SNOWKING (H. Sass 1935) L. 38". 
A king indeed! Radiant as sun on arctic snows, this 
serenely poised giant, of glacial purity and regal carriage, 
is generally recognized as one of the top notch white iris 
of today. It is ideal in stem and branching, and, fortunately, 
of a rugged hardiness. (Illustration on page 25.) 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SNOW BELLE (McKee 1938) M. 38". 
A pearly white, not a pure white. The pearly cast through¬ 
out the flower gives it a cool effect. The haft is lightly 
marked grey. Each fall has a slight twist on one side; best 
visualized as a larger and purer Parthenon. Medium large 
flowers on short branched stem. $5.00 
SNOW FLURRY (Rees 1939) EM. 40". 
Like an enveloping soft snow spray, we have the per¬ 
fectly formed blooms of Snow Flurry. A beautiful ruffled 
blue-white. The unopened buds are lightly tinted blue but 
the bloom opens a cool white. Large flowers, striking in 
the many blossoms it has per stem, strong substanced and 
long lasting. This iris caused much favorable comment 
the year of its introduction. $17.50 
SONG OF GOLD (Essig 1937) M. 30". 
This iris is a pure medium tone of yellow. A self, its 
rippling color suggests the fluid grace of the flower as a 
whole. Individual in the yellows because it has such pro¬ 
nounced flaring falls. The only iris of this color with this 
type of carriage, it reminds one of a yellow, stiffer Shining 
Waters. It is not tall but is well branched and has fine 
textured flowers very pleasantly scented. $4.00 
SONNY BOY (Kirkland 1939) EM. 34". 
Dr. Kirkland has produced a series of coppery blends for 
which he is known throughout the iris world. Twinkling 
with light and life these unusually colored coppery blends 
in varying tints are very well received. Sonny Boy is our 
selection as about the finest of the entire series of this color; 
a brighter and larger King Midas, a lovely color. $5.00 
SORRENTE (Cayeux 1937) M. 36". 
A fine new, glistening, smooth blue and yellow blend. 
The flowers are large, round, of good form, standards yel¬ 
low overlaid lavender. Falls are very broad, lavender with 
an adroit margining of primrose yellow and flushed same 
color at the haft. Tall and well branched. The copious, 
full-formed flowers give a very distinct effect; a blue blend 
of promise. $7.50 
SPOKAN (J. Sass 1933) ML. 34". 
Here is one of our personal favorites in the coppery tones 
of red. A very large iris, smooth textured and substantial. 
The standards are a glowing red-brown; the falls a similar 
but slightly deeper shade. A rich velvety flower that will 
make one of the richest clumps in any iris planting. We 
are glad to give Spokan our strongest recommendation. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
SPRING PROM (D. Hall 1938) M. 38". 
Lightly ruffled standards give charm to this pale prim¬ 
rose yellow with deeper haft reticulations. Large blooms, 
slightly flaring falls, very bright orange beard; stems tall 
and well spaced. $5.00 
SUMMER TAN (Kirkland 1935) E. 30". 
Sleek as a well-preened bird of tropic plumage is this 
exquisite blend of golden-tan, rose, and olive. There is 
nothing else like it and the subtle color harmony is sure to 
have an irresistible appeal. One of the most thrilling of 
recent introductions. 60c 
SUNBURST (Mitchell 1937) M. 38". 
Like a burst of a shaft of sunlight, a deep rich yellow self. 
It has a slight suggestion of an orange cast in its bright 
yellow pigmentation. A pleasing flower, tall and very well 
branched. $1.00; 3 for $2.25 
SUN DU ST (Washington 1936) M. 36". 
Distinctly rounded in form Sundust is one of the richer 
deep yellows. It is a creation from Nashville and has 
proven to be particularly worthwhile in sections where an 
extremely hot sun bleach some of the more delicately colored 
iris. Deep chrome yellow with an overflush of deeper 
yellow, rich orange beard. Tall, sturdily branched stems. 
$5.00; 3 for $12.00 
SUN MIST (Nicholls 1932) M. 34". 
A blithe spirit in the garden. A creamy white with a 
golden center. An iris of extraordinary substance, glitter¬ 
ing and shimmering as if filled with congealed light. 
25c; 3 for 50c
