Lady Mohr 
WILLIAM MOHR AND DESCENDANTS 
LADY MOHR (Salbach 1944). (ALTA CALIFORNIA x KING 
MIDAS) x CAPITOLA. Most noteworthy of the very recent 
descendants of WILLIAM MOHR; first to break sharply from 
the deep lavender or violet coloration that generally character- 
izes these hybrids. Standards oyster-shell white with a hint of 
heliotrope; falls frosted sea-foam yellow, haft and center veined 
mulberry, like an Onco. Made a sensational SYMPOSIUM ad- 
vance last year, from 61st place up to 33rd place, against heavy 
competition. From its pollen parent, CAPITOLA, it has in- 
herited to a remarkable degree the exotic charm of the Onco- 
cyclus Iris; from its Pogan parent has come height, branching 
and sturdiness. Yields both fertile pollen and seeds. Look for it 
in the genealogy of the Iris of the future. About 48 chromo- 
somes. $20.00 
*BARRIMOHR (Miller 1944). WILLIAM MOHR x ADOBE. A 
very fine hybrid, not generally available. Notable for its ex- 
ceptionally large, well-rounded flowers, for its semi-flaring 
falls, and for the unique and graceful ruffling of both standards 
and falls. A mulberry violet self, with broad blended brushing 
of red purple down the center of the falls in true Oncocyclus 
pattern. Your collection is not complete without this. $15.00 
*N. J. THOMAS (Thomas-Thorup 1944). WILLIAM MOHR 
x CARDINAL. An Iris likely to prove very useful to the hy- 
bridizer, but not to be considered in a class with ELMOHR for 
the fancier’s display garden. Standards light purple, falls vel-

This year we are proud to offer what we believe to be the 
world’s most comprehensive presentation of POGOCYCLUS 
HYBRIDS, together with the fullest possible listing of origina- 
tors and parentages, to aid hybridizers in their own adventures 
along similar lines. 

Elmohr 
Yields fertile seed, so fine for crossing.

ILLUSION (Kleinsorge 1943). ORMOHR x RED CROSS. Much 
resembling its seed-parent ORMOHR, but colored an ethereal 
orchid-pink, with tawny brown overlay. Valuable in the garden 
and to breeders because. it is the latest to bloom. $7.50 
ELMOHR (Loomis 1942). WILLIAM MOHR x ?. The most 
recent recipient of the coveted DYKES MEDAL, and almost at 
the top of the ‘46 SYMPOSIUM. Visualize an enormous Iris 
draped in Bishop’s purple robes of regal splendor. You must 
have this, whether or not you order any other. In ‘42 sold for 
$25.00. Now you can get 3, and make a most imposing display. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
*ORMACO (Kleinsorge 1942). ORMOHR x AZTEC COPPER. 
Richly endowed with those traits which unmistakably charac- 
terize certain hybrids as having Oncocyclus ancestry. Stands 
out from others, as it is a violet blended with much brown.and 
bronze. $4.00 
CAPITOLA (Reinelt 1940). WILLIAM MOHR x IB-MAC- 
RANTHA.. A real beauty in brilliant red violet. One of the par- 
ents of LADY MOHR, and hence much in demand, but stock 
very scarce. $3.50 
MISS MUFFET (Salbach 1940). (SEEDLING x W. R. DYKES) 
x (WILLIAM MOHR x IB-MAC.) An odd hybrid having creamy 
white standards and greenish yellow falls. Useful to breeders 
as it bears fertile pollen. An exclusive offering. $2.00 
vety mulberry purple. 



Progress toward better varieties is largely through hybridization.
