Parachute Ne. 2 
LOOMIS 1952 
Since his creation of the famous Dykes Medal win- 
ner “ELMOHR’, Dr. P. A. Loomis of Colorado has, 
to a considerable extent, concentrated his iris breed- 
ing efforts on the production of Wm. Mohr seed- 
lings. His primary objective, in this program of 
Mohr breeding, is to produce Gatesii-Tall Bearded 
derivatives in colors other than the typical lavender 
variations which dominate the picture at present. 
Among the various colors he has produced there has 
been a goodly number of white and near whites and 
these he has dubbed the PARACHUTES. Parachute 
No. 2, is the second of this series. 
Parachute Ne. 2 
(Wm. Mohr X Spanish Peaks) 
A WHITE MOHR with the arched standards, the 
rounded, flaring falls, the prominent style-arms and 
that distinctive style and charm—that indefinable 
“something” that trade-marks the Mohrs. Big, broad 
petaled blue-white flowers of excellent substance. 
Thrifty, easy to grow plant, nicely branched 34 inch 
stalks. Early midseason.
