From 1960 Schreiner's catalog: VELVET ROBE (Schreiner 1960) M. 34". Progress among the reds has been slow. But here is a mahogany-crimson that excels all other reds in velvitiness. It has a touch of ruffling also, not heretofore seen in reds. Notice the broad, quiet haft and golden beard, the glistening plushy sheen. A truly luxurious foreground iris that will be appreciated by connoisseurs of form and style. See illustration of this new red below. $25.00
