Eleanor Blue (Salbach 1933). Fills a long felt 
want for an outstanding blue iris of medium 
height. Possesses the same delicate coloring 
and smooth finish of Hoogiana, but of good 
size and Santa Barbara form. The general 
coloring, plus the brown haft undertone, 
make this one of the warmest and best 
“wearing” blues. 
Coloring — Soft campanula blue with a 
flush of deeper chicory blue in the center of 
the falls. Soft brown haft and prominent 
yellow beard. A distinct iris of real refine¬ 
ment .$5.00

garden effect, still ranking as one of the best 
blends notwithstanding the furore being 
made over some of the newer ones. 22"_ 
.35c; 3 for 70c 
Frieda Mohr (Mohr 1926). The beauty of form 
and color is shown in the color picture. The 
flowers measure 6Y 2 inches from the top of 
the standards to the tip of the falls and 6 
inches horizontally. The plants average 50 
inches in height with the clean straight 
foliage in proportion, making it equally 
satisfactory as a specimen plant or for 
massing. Blooming time from midseason 
till very late. The flower substance is heavy, 
the branching rather high but well spaced, 
the growth vigorous and the increase very 
rapid. The luminosity of the flowers makes 
this variety especially desirable for land¬ 
scape planting. Locust perfume. Should be 
in every garden, ,60c; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75
