From Schreiner's catalog, 1963: POMPANO PEACH (Schreiner 1963) EM. 36". $15.00. The blond beauty on our front cover, Pompano Peach, has a peachy apricot color and a luscious, luminescent quality that attracted garden visitors like a magnet. Our transparency of Pompano Peach reveals an intensity of frilling (largely lost in our color plate) which greatly enhances its opulent beauty of form. Its sheen is so pronounced it appears positively lacquered. An iris of exceptional finish that seems to us the best in its color class. A strikingly effective garden iris that promises to have a great future. You'll regret it if you pass up this beauty! P 82-A.
