DANUBE WAVE—(Schreiner 1947) M. 
38”. Mr. Schreiner himself describes this 
Iris. “A lovely harmony of color and 
style. This rich mid-blue arises from the 
cross of Anitra and Narain and combines 
the splendid breeding of these two dis- 
tinct families of blues most effectively. A 
self, a rich shade of remarkable marine- 
blue. Its outstanding quality is in its 
depth of color. Very thrifty with excep- 
tionally well substanced and _ poised 
blooms. It is an Iris the fancier seeking 
a color note will prize. We have had 
some marvelously tall well - branched 
spikes.’ We predict great popularity.

A display indeed, of a fine Iris close to 
true red. Rich, smooth, glowing, un- 
veined Spanish red, shading to deep ma- 
roon at the haft. Yellow beard flecked 
brown. It's truly a fine red-mahogany 
type Iris. This and a hundred or so others 
is what keeps the Iris grower enthused.
