COPPER MEDALLION 
RASPBERRY RIBBON 
RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner 1951) EM. 34”. 
A Plicata to excite both the color-conscious and the style-conscious 
fancier! Fresher, brighter, starchier than Minnie Colquitt, its 
clean-cut styling, jaunty ruffling and the contrasting white blaze 
on the falls—gleaming like new-minted silver dollars—summon 
the garden visitor from afar. Admired and singled out at the 
A.I.S. meeting in Oregon in 1949, its performance at the 1950 
Midwest meeting won it the coveted “Highly Commended” Award 
of the American Iris Society. Seedling No. F263. $15.00 
COPPER MEDALLION (Schreiner 1951) M. 38”. 
There is no hint of a copper shortage in this stunning seedling 
out of Bryce Canyon x Sunset Serenade. Indeed, I think it has 
more honest-to-goodness copperiness, more metallic brilliancy, 
more new-penny glitter than any other blend I know. The hand- 
somely-formed blooms of generous size hold their color well in 
the strongest sun. Copper Medallion looked even more brilliant 
in the Midwest in 1950 than in Oregon. Truly an outstanding 
new Iris, in which is concentrated the combined lustre of two 
famous bloodlines—Kleinsorge and Sass. $15.00
