GREETING: As we celebrate our Diamond Anniversary we are proud to present this 75th Collector's Edition of Scrhreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog. We've worked hard to make it a complete guidebook of garden dreams. Here's a chance to grow the very best in modern Iris. We offer everything from 15 new exciting Year 2000 Introductions to luscious time-tested Bearded classics - all at bargain prices. And we are now listing Beardless Iris - Siberian and Louisiana hybrids - on pages 68 and 69. Be sure to check them out. Our catalog is the essential tool to fill your spring garden with happy graces.
     We dedicate this anniversary to F.X. Schreiner who wrote his first catalog, "After thirty-six years of city business with its incessant competitive strife I find myself on the way to realizing one of life's visions - working in Nature's beauty garden." His lifelong love affair with Iris was passed on to his children and grandchildren. Now seventy-five years later Schreiner's Gardens remains in the same family. We know that planting Iris nurtures our faith in the future. We now only antcipate the miracle of new life each spring, we are actually ensuring that it will be so. Imagine our trill to learn last summer that our hybrid, Hello Darkness had won the Dykes Memorial Medal, the highest award an Iris can achieve. Today Schreiner's Gardens is America's headquarters for quality bearded iris.
     On this landmark year we would like to say THANK YOU to our loyal customers. We are greatful for your support and look forward to serving you well into the next Millennium. Happy gardening!
     THE SCHREINER FAMILY
