ELMOHR (Loomis, 1942) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1945, this red-violet seedling of Wm. Mohr 

 has acquired the greatest popularity in the shortest time of any Iris ever in- 

 troduced. One of the very largest of all Irises, the great blooms are daintily 

 ruffled, of a silky texture and remarkable substance. The stems are •well 

 branched and at least 3 feet tall. Because it has proven to be hardy every- 

 where and increases rapidly, the price has reached a point where every 

 genuine Iris connoisseur can and should own it. HM AIS, 1942 ; AM, 1943.

EL PASO (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



This seedling of Tobacco Road cossed with Goldbeater is a richer, brighter, 

 more lively golden brown than the famous "tobacco colored" parent. It has 

 a luminous, metallic finish which gives it exceptional richness and a glowing 

 quality which most browns seem to lack. Standards are closed and the broad 

 falls flare gracefully. A large flower of medium height — about 32-34 inches; 

 good branching. Shown on page 21. HM AIS, 1950. 



ELSA SASS (H. Sass, 1939) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



An entirely new shade of yellow, clear sulphur, with a greenish cast in 

 its depths and a near white blaze near the haft. The blossoms are of good 

 size, rounded in form and slightly frilled at the edges. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 

 1939; AM, 1944. See page 37. 



ENVOY (DeForest, 1948) Each $5.00 



Among the most deeply colored of new Irises, the falls practically black 

 but with a hint of brown-purple. The beard is brilliant orange on a solid 

 blackish haft. Standards are bright and silky with a flush of reddish purple. 

 A very impressive thing on 34-inch stems. Illustrated on page 42. 



EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas, 1944) Each $1.50 



Almost white standards shaded cream at the base, the falls a medley of 

 copper, red-lavender and deep violet, with a violet flush down the center. 

 On the order of Wabash, but is more of a blend especially in the falls. 



One of the most talked about new things. HM AIS, 1944; AM. 1947.
