ORMOHR 
NATOMA (Salbach). An iris of medium 
size that is especially desirable for mass 
or clump plantings. Standards clear 
bronze, falls soft coral red, producing the 
general effect of old rose. Blooms are pro- 
duced in great profusion on ideal stems 
that hold the flowers well above the foli- 
age. Mid-season. 36”. 
25c; 3 for 60c; 12 for $1.75 
NEON (Salbach). Another splendid iris for 
group or mass planting. Standards bronzy 
gold, with velvety carmine falls and 
rich yellow beard. Neon is very bright 
in the garden, has good size blooms that 
are freely produced well above the foliage 
on medium tall, well-branched stems. 
A New England customer says: “A 
glowing accent to my garden, and with 
its unquestioned hardiness, an acquisi- 
tion from California; a wonderfully bril- 
liant iris that belongs always in the ‘must 
haves’.” Late. 36”. H. M., A. I. S., 1936.

NOONTIDE (Thoel). A big, medium-toned,

branching stems. Free bloomer, and a 
rapid increaser. One of the fine new yel-

OCHROLEUCA. See page 19.

ORMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937). One of the 
most outstanding iris ever introduced. A 
seedling of the famous William Mohr, 
that is perfectly hardy, easily grown and 
produces beautiful blooms of immense 
size on tall, well-branched stems. The 
large size of the blooms does not in the 
least detract from its beauty, for the 
blooms are perfectly proportioned and the 
color is soft and very satisfying. The 
standards are beautifully domed and re- 
main closed. The falls are broad and 
semi-flaring. Substance is very heavy. 
We have seen perfect blooms that have 
gone through a severe storm and rain. 
Color, is a very pleasing shade of manga- 
nese violet with cream veining. Both 
standards and falls are heavily veined and 
dotted deep violet. A good increaser and 
a free bloomer. Mid-season. 40”. 
$3.00; 3 for $7.50 
OURAY (Thomas-Thorup). An iris in a 
bright ruby-red color. No other iris com- 
pares with Ouray for richness of color. 
The blooms are well formed, of medium 
size, borne on two-foot stems. One of our 
Kentucky customers says: “I want to tell 
you how much attention Ouray created 
here. It was planted in the first position 
in the ‘Guest Iris’ row and was worthy 
of the place, and created as much favor- 
able comment as The Red Douglas, An- 

genus, Cortez, and Siegfried.” Mid-season.

OLD ROSE (Salbach 1940). (Marquita x 
Monadnock) x Dark Knight). Large old 
rose self, except that the falls shade to 
Pompeian red near the haft. Blooms of 
excellent form carried on tall flower 
stalks. If the flowers were carried lower 
on the stalk, Old Rose would have justi- 
fied a much higher introductory price.

ORANGE FLAME. See page 5. 
ORLOFF (H. P. Sass). A delightfully dif- 
ferent plicata. Most aptly described as an 
iris of “brownish red finely stippled on a 
soft cream background, like cinnamon in ~ 
egg nogg.” The standards are so heavily 
veined that they appear as rich brown, 
with the whole center of the flower lit 
rich golden bronze. The falls are cream 
stitched and dotted bronze. Medium size 
blooms of good form and substance. 
Hardy in any climate. H. M., A. I. S., 1937. 
Mid-season. 30”........ $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
OZONE (Jacob Sass). An attractive, large, 
rosy lavender that is both beautiful and 
distinctive due to its warm brown haft. 
White beard tipped orange. Large flowers 
on well-branched 36” stem. Mid-season.

PACIFIC. This fine big iris combines all the 
qualities of clear, clean color, good sub- 
stance, fine carriage, vigor and garden 
effect. It blooms early and continues for 
a long time. The color is light bluish vio- 
let, with a very smooth finish. Falls flar- 
ing, stems straight and slender. Early. 32”. 
35c; 3 for $1.00 
PALE MOONLIGHT (Essig). A very tall, 
stately iris of palest blue—a shade lighter 
than Shining Waters. By far the best of 
its shade, and will bloom in the East, al- 
though it needs special protection to 
winter well where the climate is severe.

PEACEMAKER (Mitchell). A tall, smooth, 
porcelain-colored iris, with pale lavender 
blue flush in the center of the falls. Large, 
well-formed blooms on tall low-branched 
stems. Has been highly praised in En- 
gland and the East. One of the A. I. S. 
judges referred to it as an iris “a lot of — 
us have been missing.’”’ Mid-season. 42”.

PERSIA. This variety, of which little was 
heard in the first years of its introduc- 
tion, has come to be considered one of 
the very finest of Dr. Ayres’ fine produc- 
tions. Its refined and subdued colorings 
rank it as one of the most pleasing of all. 
Very large blooms with falls that area 
blend of bluish lavender, and standards 
of iridescent steel blue. Brown haft and 
yellow beard. Smooth finish, H. M., A. I. 
S., 1928. Mid-season. 36”. ..35c; 3 for $1.00 
PESHAWAR (Schreiner). Exotically beau- 
tiful, this very early blooming oncocyclus | 
hybrid is also an easy doer and a rapid 
increaser. The standards are rich violet, 
the falls reddish brown, overlaid glisten- | 
ing black, the beard is a dusky brown. — 
Altogether a very striking flower of medi- — 
um size and fine form. Rhizomes natural- __ 
ly small. Early. 14”...... 35¢; 3 for $1.00
