ORMOHR 
MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck, ‘38). ML. 36° $1.00 
A yellow self, with clear, rich and smooth color quality, this 
is faultless. Large blooms are of smooth substance and slightly 
waved form. Outstanding in any comparison. 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach, ‘36). L. 48” 60c 
Tall and impressive, well branched stalks support gigantic 
flowers of orchid-pink. This iris performs exceptionally, is of 
pleasing color and an excellent choice for garden frame planting 
or background. HM 1938. 
MISSOURI (Grinter, 1933). ML. 37” 0c 
Clear blue color, and enamel like texture personify this giant 
flowered Dykes Medal winner (1937). Strong fragrance of 
Lily of the Valley adds to popular appeal. 
MOHRSON (White, 1935). M. 34” 715¢ 
Large globes of bloom in medium purple are veined and 
marbled dark purple in this popular seedling of the iris William 
Mohr. A contrasting beard is broad and yellow. 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner, ‘41). M. 40’ $4.00 
Innovation in color is descriptively nam2d here. Strong shades 
of brown seem to emanate from a heavy bronze beard on close 
inspection. Outstanding in the garden because of novelty in 
color, a bold strength of stem holds the larg2 flowers well aloft. 
You must see this! 
MYSTIC SHRINE (National, ‘44). ML. 36’ $5.00 
Descriptive adjectives are in short supply to properly extol 
the attributes of this novel color arrangement. Red-brown vein- 
ing on gold ground at the haft upon which an orange beard 
rests seems to extend its color influence to brighten the balance 
of the flower. Slightly ruffled standards are closed and of blue 
gray washed lavender. Falls are light gray, washed lavender. 
Distant effect is blue gray. The whole pattern intrigues on close 
inspection. 
NARANJA (Mitchell, 1935). L. 36” 20c 
An orange hue superimposed on a rich deep yellow; orange 
concentration on the falls. Large sized blooms appear orange in 
the bud, the whole strikingly different in appeal. 
NATIONAL GIANT (National, ‘42). M. 44” $3.00 
Generous height of stem and gigantic size of bloom, typical 
of many late National creations is here exemplified in bronze- 
violet standards and rose-violet falls. Violet veining at haft 
is accented by an orange beard. Excellent. 
NATIONAL WHITE (Nat’al, 44). EM. 46” $4.00 
This garden sentinel in its white, white uniform stands head 
and shoulders above its fellows. Proud perfection is personified 
in the glisten and gleam of this giant flower with delicately 
ruffled edges. NATIONAL WHITE is one of the newer va- 
ricties selected for the White House garden in Washington, 
D.C., in 1946. It’s a white to remember. Illustration on page 7. 
NED LEFEVRE (Lapham, 1942). M. 36” $2.60 
Yellow underlay topped glowing rose—-a combination that 
makes for a copper rose overall etfect. Colors are warm and 
rich in value. The flowers are of excellent form, and very ef- 
fective when left undisturbed in clumps. 
NIGHTFALL (Hall, 1942). M. 36” $2.50 
Any thumb is green with NIGHTFALL. One of the best per- 
formers and reproducers in the garden in its color class. Rich, 
dark, pansy purple—-deep color—in an easily grown profusely 
flowering plant. The standards are somewhat lighter than the 
falls for striking contrast in such depth of predominate color 
value. AM 1945. 
NOONDAY SKY (National, 1940).E.40’° $1.00 
Uniform color value is exemplified in lavender-blue; reflect- 
ing summer skies at Sun’s meridian height. A light veining of 
maroon is spread on a white ground at haft. Slightly fragrant. 
Matchless in appeal for its color class. 
NYLON (Whiting, 1940). ML. 34” $1.00 
Pure quality in flower as nylon is to My Lady’s hose! The 
blending of rose, tan, buff and lavender is subdued to coppery 
tan or caramel effect. Flowers are large and ruffled; growth 
vigorous. Fragrant. Neat. 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge, ‘39) . M. 38’ $1.50 
A treasured tome preserves the written record through the 
cuality of its paper. Here, too, is everlasting beauty brought 
forth in each new bud to be treasured in the present. Light 
creamy tan overlaid golden buff. Standards are domed and 
closed, the falls wide and of clean cut appearance. AM 1941. 
ORANGE BOY (Reidel, 1941). M. 34” $1.50 
Golden-orange standards are in pleasing contrast with orange- 
red falls. A neat dash of rich color right out of nature’s paint 
pot. 
OREGON SUNSHINE (National, ‘39). E. 38’ $1.00 
Soft light yellow emulous of the lighter clear rays of western 
sunshinz filtered through rain washed skies. Deep green gold 
veining at the haft adds color interest to ruffled semi-flaring 
falls. Standards are closed and ruffled. 
ORLOFF (H. Sass, 1937). ML. 33” 60c 
Looking for foreground material? Consider this creamy yellow 
sprinkled with crimson brown. Falls are contrasting by being 
more heavily marked. Medium size blooms profusely borne on 
medium height stems are colorful. HM 1937. 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937). M. 40” 75¢ 
Paul Bunyan walked here and chose ORMOHR for his bu- 
tonniere. This gigantic flower is pale lilac with a silver over- 
cast, richly veined violet. The flowers are proudly borne on 
strong tall stems and are individual standouts. A strong garden 
color accent and easily grown; no duds in the ORMOHR planting. 
Inherited quality comes through the parent iris William Mohr. 
AM 1940.
