NEW IRISES 
For 19 3 5 
Each year we select a few outstanding new seedlings from the many thou¬ 
sands grown by prominent Iris breeders of the West. The following varieties 
represent the cream of the new creations. 
MOHRSON 
(White. 1935) 
For many years, iris hybridizers throughout 
the country have tried, without results, to pro¬ 
duce a William Mohr seedling. Mr. C. G. 
White has at last met with success in this 
endeavor and it is with great pleasure that 
we introduce for him MOHRSON, the first Wil¬ 
liam Mohr seedling ever created. 
Being a cross of William Mohr by a pogon 
iris, MOHRSON is therefore but one-fourth 
oncocyclus. It is a charming and unusual iris, 
more vigorous than its parent, and showing 
unmistakably some of the desired oncocyclus 
characteristics. 
Technical description: The conic standards 
are a rich, clear, deep violet (Haemotoxylin) 
with a cockled and varnished surface and 
ruffled edges, and are 2 3 /4 inches wide and 
3 3 /g inches high. The drooping falls are 2 3 /4 
inches wide by B 1 /* inches long and have that 
fabric-like texture noticed in some of the 
other pogocyclus hybrids. The color in the 
falls is accomplished by close veins and is a 
Petunia violet, overlaid Nigrosin violet. 30 in¬

SWEET ALIBI 
(White. 1935) 
This exquisite iris is a soft Primrose yellow 
self with handsome large flowers of remark¬ 
able substance. It is a tall, vigorous, variety 
of a shade of yellow that is indispensable in 
the garden. While the flowers are unusually 
large, refinement and charm has not been 
sacrificed to size. You will be pleased with 
the symmetry and poise of Sweet Alibi, and 
with the delightful effect of its soft clear color 
in your garden. 3V2 feet.....$10.00 
FAIR ENOUGH 
(White, 1935) 
In the originator's garden this iris is of par¬ 
ticular value because it comes into bloom 
very early in the season, and, because of its 
free flowering habit, lasts for many weeks. It 
is one of the bluest toned of all irises and yet, 
because of a touch of gold in the throat, there 
is a slight suggestion of a blend. It is truly 
an outstanding iris in every way, being un¬ 
excelled in form, texture, color, height, vigor 
and floriferousness. Fair Enough has not yet 
been tested in the colder climates. Large, 
flaring flowers on 48 inch well branched 
stems __.____$5.00 
GIFT 
(Lothrop, 1935) 
This iris has everything to make it a dis¬ 
tinctly fine flower. The standards approach a 
livid brown in color tone and have a metallic 
reflection that is particularly pleasing in har¬ 
mony with the falls which are a deep Dahlia 
carmine of the richest velvety texture imagin¬ 
able. There are no unsightly reticulations in 
the haft, for the smooth even color of the falls 
runs well up on both sides of the beard. The 
flowers are of good size and are gracefully 
displayed on slender well branched stems, 36 
inches tall. Hardy, a free bloomer, and a vig¬ 
orous grower...... ... ... $10.00
