COVER: This cover features the 1980 Introductions: Eastertime, Morning Hymn and Skyfire. In the background is the photograph "Iris Time at Schreiner's," which has been used as a backdrop in every Iris Lover's catalog from 1964 to the mid-1980s.

ABOUT: This is a typical catalog from the 1970s/1980s.

GREETING: Again, it is our pleasure to say "Hello" to our many freinds in the world. 1980 is the beginning of new decade and 1979 was a very rewarding year, far exceeding our expectations. It is a pleasure to realize that our endeavors, which are aimed at customer satisfaction, are meeting with success. It seems fitting then to take a glance at the past for a moment of reflection.
     Our association with the Iris loving fraternity over the pasty fifty-five years has made these inspiring times. We never cease to marvel at the wonderful range of coloring and different floral types the Iris has enjoyed. That special thrill of viewing the unfurling of a new variety or the renewed acquaintance with a long admired "standby" is indeed a moment to be treasured. Your sharing of your own personal experiences through notes and those delightful photographs is equally appreciated. Sometimes, as one comes to the end of a long day, the hour is brightened by these kind thoughts.
     May your garden this year offer you increasing beauty and serenity. We hope that 1980 will be one of your best gardening seasons.
     ROBERT SCHREINER
