ELMOHR—(Loomis 1942) M. 36”. The 
gloriest of all glorious Iris. It has acquired 
the greatest popularity in the shortest time 
of any Iris ever introduced. Anticipating 
that it would we started off in 1945 with 
a goodly number of rhizomes at $6.00 
each. We now have over five hundred 
and wish we had more. It is an exquisite 
shade of rich, reddish mulberry, glossy 
and lustrous. Huge, ruffled blooms up to 
7 inches, rounded in form and unique 
venations. Healthy vigorous grower well 
branched. An Iris with a thrill that never 
will be forgotten. HM, 1942; AM, 1944;

EROS — (Mead-Riedel 1934) M. 40”. If 
you want a mass of salmon pink blooms 
the first years growth, this is it. Medium 
sized flowers of salmon pink, the throat 
lit with gold. The tall slim stems, but 
stout, resemble a bunch of day-lilies. This 
seems to be popular with lots of folks. At 
blooming time we always sell several. I 
don’t know why. I would just as soon 
have a bunch of horse weeds. If you need 
a mass planting on a washy hillside we 
will sell you several hundred cheap.

ETHEL PECKHAM — (Williamson 1932)

Iris of large, perfectly formed flowers of 
lustrous wine red. I don’t know. We 
have been since 1945 getting one rhizome 
-up to three little dinky clumps and have 
no record of ever having seen it bloom.
