From 1944 Schreiner's catalog: SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass, 1943). M 36. This is about the finest seedling to come from the famous 'Prairie Sunset'. It is without question a wonderful new iris unique in color and sufficiently different to be significant. A lovely golden apricot with a glorious iridescent blend having that unusual quality of coloring of its parent, 'Prairie Sunset', in new color tones. Truly one of the grandest iris of its coloring. $20.00
