WASATCH (Thorup 1935) E. 34”. 
One of the largest plicatas. A stunning, broad petaled white 
flower with even buttonhole stitching of medium blue. Sub- 
stance is excellent. HM’36. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
WATCHFIRE (Stevens 1948) M. 38”. 
Watchfire was our choice from a whole series of blends char- 
acterized by their splendid height and better than usual 
branching. We believe that the breeders specializing in the 
development of blends will be intensely interested when they 
behold the ramrod stiff, well branched stems. A copper with a 
red cast whose brilliant colors are carried aloft and send 
their beams across the garden attracting and holding one’s 
attention. A wonderful clump. For a single flower see illus- 
tration on page 9, a group on page | $3.50 
WHITE CITY (Murrell 1939) EM. 40”. 
Immense flowers of silken blue-white with a flush of plum- 
bago-blue around the heart of its stiff, stalwart bloom. Crisp 
finish and ice cold effect of the blooms is very striking. 
AM’45. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
WHITE GODDESS (Nesmith 1936) M. 38”. 
Statuesque white with beautiful domed standards. Both stand- 
ards and falls lightly ruffled. Large flower whose glistening 
white blooms and yellow beard are borne on tall, sturdy 
stalks. HM’36. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
WHITE WEDGEWOOD (Grand 1943) M. 38”. 
A porcelain white with blue at the base of the beard and 
haft. The contrast of a bluish brushing at the beard is quite 
novel and unusual. A large flower. HM’43. AM’45. $1.50 
WILLIAM A. SETCHELL (Brehm 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the giant Iris blooms. Simply gargantuan violet self. 
Surprisingly good substance for such a mammoth flower. 
Heavy branched stems. Individual blooms measure 6 inches 
across and 7 inches high! 75c; 3 for $2.00 
WILLIAM MOHR (Mohr 1925) EM. 30”. 
A huge, exotic lavender closely netted over all with a fine 
purple veining. Grow this cross-bred Iris in the hottest spot 
you have selecting a well drained area and working a few 
limestone chips into the soil. AOc; 3 for $1.00 
WINSTON CHURCHILL (Stevens 1944) ML. 32”. 
A red close to crimson, it gleams with jewel-like luster. 
A deeper red than most, the color and texture are very fine. 
The standards are a glowing red, the falls more crimson 
velvet with a rich gold beard. A striking red Ivis from that 
fine New Zealand breeder, Mrs. Stevens. $5.00 
WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner 1941) M. 38”. * 
The outstanding flaring white. As unique in form as it is 
pure in color, tall snow-white. One of the most beautiful 
white Iris. The pronounced flare of the stiffly substanced 
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. One of the best whites in the garden, 
perfectly hardy, free flowering and prolific. Illustrated on 
page 24. HM’42. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
WORTHINGTON (Cook 1943) M. 36”. 
Strong and clear, bright rosy red that carries very effectively. 
A harmonious bicolor, the colors are all pleasingly clear and 
bright; good form, nice size, smoothly textured and heavily 
substanced. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ZANTHA (Fay 1947) EM. 35”. * 
A gorgeous shade of golden yellow and amazingly large flower. 
Winner of the President’s Cup for 1947. Freshly opened 
blooms are so luxurious they almost take one’s breath away. 
In time of extreme heat the bloom may be inclined to be a 
bit soft. For a blaze of color it knows few equals and we 
doubt if it has a superior. HM’47. $6.00 
THEY SAY— 
_ My 84 Irises ordered in this year from you are now so familiar 
in these their new surroundings that it seems they are going to 
speak Spanish! Every day they become more and more vigorous, 
new sprouts are discovered often and the leaves are so strong 
and healthy it seems they are forcasting the most successful 
blooming. DR. ERNESTO LIZARRAGA, Lima, Peru 
My first order came in record time, 7 days, in good condition. 
The rhizomes looked very good. It is nice to know one is deal- 
ing with reliable people. I am a middle aged woman and this is 
the first testimonial letter I have ever written but I wanted you 
to know I was pleased with the order and the catalog is the love- 
liest ’'ve ever seen. MRS. HELEN M. BUCK, Conn. 
Enclosed find order for more of your lovely Iris. Those rhizomes 
I got from you last year were the largest and freshest I have ever 
seen. The past winter here in Maine was a hard one on Iris and I 
lost several but those I got from you came through beautifully ; 
thanks too for the nice gift Iris. 
MRS. HAROLD BRADFORD, Maine 
I wish to thank you for my gratis gift you enclosed with my last 
order. It sure was appreciated. My Iris bulbs came in perfect con- 
dition and I am well satisfied with my plants. I have tried many 
a company but none can equal your products. Thanks again and 
I am enclosing another order. 
MRS. W. J. BRINKMAN, New Jersey 
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your courtesy 
and consideration in filling my past orders. The Iris roots were 
large, vigorous, and most important of all, they were true to your 
catalog description. My Ming Yellow, Miss California, Pink Re- 
flection and Winter Carnival have been gorgeous. When ordering 
Iris I believe it will always be Schreiner’s for me. 
MRS. CHARLES FARRELL, Missouri 
The Iris arrived on schedule and in a freshly dug condition. 
Opening the parcel from you gives us a thrill annually—anxious 
to see the size of the rhizomes, and anxious to get our hands on 
the gratis plant. Also this shipment was very easy to look at. 
Though I know that varieties produce different size rhizomes, 
these were uniformly large and those well developed increase 
gave them a real thrifty look. 
H. H. HENKELMAN, Texas 
The Iris I sent for in 1948 and 1949 bloomed out beautiful 
flowers which were something out of this world. The rhizomes 
were healthy plants and that is why I intend to be one of your 
regular customers. I have given your address to several of my 
friends. MRS. MARY MURCHIO, Calif. 
I wish to thank you for the beautiful Iris I have received from 
you un past years. they are the jewels of the garden, the only 
flower I have seen which surpass their pictures in the catalog. 
ELIZABETH SOUTHMAYD, South Dakota 
I was tremendously pleased with the rhizomes I got this sum- 
mer. Even the Customs Inspector commented on the fine quality. 
They have made excellent growth, both root and leaves to date. 
REV. F. E. M. TOMALIN, Canada 
For three years now I have ordered Iris from you and I am al- 
ways thrilled with their performance. Every plant blooms every 
year and gives magnificent blooms. Can one ask for more? Yours 
are the best rhziomes from any state from which I have ordered. 
I enjoy your catalog. It lengthens the Iris season the year around. 
MRS. JESSIE CONOVER, Utah 
My Iris Rhizomes have arrived—Beginner’s Collection—and with 
such fine plant material I’m sure this promise of beauty will hold 
no disappointment next spring. Daffodils are my hobby, and while 
I shall never abandon them I’m beginning to feel I shall ADD 
Iris for later spring glory. MRS. PAUL E. GREEN, Alabama 
The Iris roots arrived almost as soon as your letter and were 
not only in perfect condition but were the finest rhizomes I 
have ever received and I have been buying Irises for 40 years at 
least. GILBERT ERREY, Australia
