SCHREINER Ss Rise GARD ENS 

THE ADMIRAL (D. Hall 1941) ML. 36”. 
Intense medium blue standards and falls the 
same color. Color holds well. A clean haft, a 
sturdy, well branched stem. Very stiff, ideally 
formed blooms, slightly flaring. A symmetrically 
formed bloom. $5.00 
THREE SISTERS “(DeForests1941) 0 
We consider this one of the most distinctive 
new colors offered last year. In effect it is an 
amoena of cream-white standards and rounded 
flaring falls of red or Indian lake. A striking color 
combination, in effect a red and white amoena. 
The flowers are medium sized; the stem could be 
taller. It is so original, however, that in spite 
of this fault it will be much desired because of 
its novel coloring. $15.00 
TOP SERGEANT (Kirkland 1941) ML. 34”. 
Brilliant red-brown, almost a self. Down South 
this is proclaimed the most outstanding red iris 
excelling others in richness and clarity of color. 
Falls velvety and slightly deeper in tone, very 
well substanced. $20.00 
VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith 1940) 
M. 40”. 
Especially fine finished, unveined quiescent 
Bradley’s violet self. The individual blooms 
have a finished appearance as if they were pre- 
cisely carved. Large flowers with a subtle charm. 
A fine new iris from the East. $10.00 
WAKARUSA (Lapham 1941) M. 34”. 
Skillful blend of most unusual color. Radiantly 
colored with velvety orange and vivid red. In 
effect a burnt orange bicolor with velvety falls, 
forceful and magnetic. From a distance it gives 
the impression of a vivid patch of pinkish-orange- 
copper. A center of attraction in the garden. 
Very good flower and plant habit, extremely 
colorful. $15.00 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) M. 
BYeh 
The outstanding flaring white. As unique in 
form as it is pure in color, tall snow white. One 

GYPSY BARON 
SYMBOL (White 1941) M. 36”. 
A yellow with a heart of apricot and orange and a paint- 
ing of fawn brown brushed on each side of the beard; very 
neat and trim. An interesting variation in color pattern. 
of the most beautiful white iris. The pronounced 
flare of the stiffly-substances flower reminds one 
of a piece of stiffly starched material. Flowers are very 
large, nicely proportioned giving the flower the feeling of 
elaborate styling. A lavish gold throat regally caps its pure 
beauty. Name after St. Paul’s annual Winter Carnival, 
the Mardi Gras of the Northwest. Very hardy. (Pictured
