Ormaco 



Each $15.00 



Since Ormohr made its appearance in 1Q37 the iris world 

 has watched for the announcement that one of its progeny 

 was available to gardens. There ha\ e been several Ormohr 

 seedlings raised by Dr. Kleinsorge, but he wanted to wait 

 until a particularly fine one came along before introducing 

 any of them. This one, from a cross w ith Aztec Copper, is 

 not only a gigantic flower of perfect form and beautiful bronzy 

 tones, but it has such thick petals that they seem as if 

 fashioned out of fine leather. 



The color is an odd blend of light violet w ith much copper, 

 bronze and brown, especially about the center. The whole 

 flov\er has a metallic cast. Not as large as Ormohr, but an 

 e,\tra large iris nevertheless, it has that peculiar Oncocyclus 

 locjk that harks back to Wm. Mohr, the grandparent. The 

 illustration is almost 100*^7 perfect, but reduced in size. This 

 seedling had the best growing habits of any in the lot, and 

 has come through low temperatures, snow and ice, and a 

 terrific siKer thaw that coated everything with two inches 

 of ice last winter. Our plants look perfect and arc coming 

 into bloom as this is written. 



.As with Ormohr, the stems are branched and produce 

 several blossoms per stalk, although not as tall as the parent. 

 About a dozen rhizomes for sale this year.
