From Schreiner’s catalog, 1963: LEMON MINT (Schreiner 1963) E. 35". $12.00. Color experts consider lemon yellow the criterion of what constitutes true yellow. Lemon Mint is just such a cool primrose or lemon yellow with no inclination toward either green or gold. Look at your iris planting: Wouldn't more yellow add vibrancy to the general effect? At least one-fourth of an iris planting should be yellow, landscape artists maintain. In Lemon Mint we have a crisply flaring, lightly ruffled, soft true yellow that will light up an iris garden and glamorize all the other colors. We can't picture all the new ones, but take our word for it, this is a lovely iris! No. P4l-A.
