ELMOHR (Loomis 42)—Given an H. M. 
in 1942 
A seedling of probably the most popu- 
lar and widely distributed Iris—-Wm. 
Mohr. All these seedlings have fine 
firm, extraordinary substance and 
quality . On page 15 of the last Oct. 
Bulletin, K. D. Smith, regional V. P. 
of the American Iris Society, says, “I 
consider this the outstanding Iris of 
the year. It is by far the best of the 
Wm. Mohr seedlings, different in col- 
oring, being more on the red side.” 
Mrs. F. H. Cleetton also called it ky far 
the best of the Wm. Mohr seedlings. 
“Rich in color, charming in pattern, 
and delightfully gay and jaunsy in 
form, a large flower with standards 
slightly ruffled and a bit revolute, and 
falls that are rounding and tapering 
just a trifle at the lower edge, ard set 
so debonairly that they add much to 
the charm of the flower.” 
F’. B. Casebeer, Editor of our Bulletin, 
calls it the most impressive new Iris of 
the year. 
The following description is taken 
from the 1942 catalog of our good 
friend, Robert Schreiner. “The newest 
hybrid of Wm. Mohr and the last word 
in color and distinctiveness in this 
race of plant. An exquisite shade of 
rich reddish mulberry, incredibly glossy 
and lustrous. The color seems to 
smoulder as if some interior source of 
light were seeping out of imprison- 
ment. There is unforgettable distinc- 
tion in Wm. Mohr’s rounded form and 
unique manner of venations anc. this 
is inherited in the flower in a rich 
color pattern. To our taste it is the 
most attractively colored of the Wm. 
Mohr seedlings. It is so distinctive 
that it merits introduction becatse of 
the color alone. Its derivation makes 
it all the more Significant. Hybridizers 
will be interested to know it sets seed. 
Its foliage is clean and unmarred, a 
rich shade of pale green, a healthy 
vigorous plant that grows as easily as 
the regular garden Iris with us.”
