The first and only yellow Oncobred with Onco form. Harks back to its famous seed- parent, Elmohr. 
A glistening, ruffled pale yellow with a white signal area at end of bright yellow beard. Hybridizers 
should cross this with intense yellows and orange tones (such as Gold Sovereign and Rocket) to 
deepen the yellow. While Onco in bloom, it has the virtue of foliage much like straight Tall Bearded. 
Easy to grow. LM-36”. 
(Muhlestein ’48) High Commendation '47 
An intensely bright yellow self of large size. Huge buds look like great gobs of yellow wax. a Brown 
Betty x Golden Eagle, so has % Onco blood and should cross more readily than Tall Bearded with 
Oncos, Oncogelias and Regelias. Does not have the much-sought Lady Mohr form, but may well prove 
a stepping stone in that direction, for it sets seed and its pollen is extremely fertile, especially on 
Oncobreds. Very fragrant. E-36”.

beautiful and unusual coloring—a lustrous, smoky gold or gold russet with a suffusion 
of soft lilac below the broad brownish-tan beard. Large, perfectly proportioned flowers, 
with broad standards and falls. Height and branching are difficult to secure in Oncobreds 
but in Gold Smoke these characteristics have been achieved to a remarkable extent, as 
the flowers are borne on tall, well-branched stalks. 34”..

The nearest approach to real gold color (not yellow) yet attained in Iris. Standards glisten- 
ing gold buff. Falls deep gold buff, enhanced by harmonizing soft brown veins and a golden 
bronze beard. A low-grower to plant next to the path where everyone will see it. Admired

Superb BLUES and BLUE-VIOLETS 
(Craig ’49) HC’48, HM’49 10.00; 
Immense broad flaring flowers, often 6” or more across, of the toughest substance. Ap- 
parently Tom Craig has in mind that it will withstand a hurricane. Color pale powder blue, 
infused with lilac and white, sometimes lightly marbled in an exotic manner in darker blue. 
A number of the Iris judges have rated this as the finest of the many creations that Tom 
has released. Like Heigho and Peg Dabagh, this comes from PURISSIMA x CAPITOLA. 
Apparently an excellent breeder, but too new to be much tested. Be the first to get some 
startling offspring! VE-32”. 
HEIGHO (Craig '49) + A striking, hardy Oncobred. $10.00 
Of the various splendid new ones from Purissima x Capitola, this is my favorite. Has small, 
definite Onco-like signal, simply wonderful substance. Flowers immense, globe-like, clear 
blue-violet, on tall wiry 45” stems; unbelievably fine branching for an Oncobred. Gives 
you flowers all the way from very early to late. Finest of the many dandies from Tom 
Craig. Reported to be a dependable bloomer in the East. Absolutely unsurpassed as a 
proven Oncobred seedparent. VE-L-45”. 
BLUMOHR (Marx '49) HM’49 Award of Merit ’52 $7.50

bago blue, reported as being bluer & less slate-colored than Morning Blue. From Tennes- 
see comes report: “It is a perfect thing, in my way of thinking—the color of the Cattleya 
orchid.” Large rounded flowers remain in perfect condition for 3 to 4 days. Other new 
blues are early but this blooms at midseason or later. Pollen abundant. ML-36”. 
(Craig 48) Honorable Mention ’48 $5.00; 
Sensational new blue. Introduced at $35. Has the much-sought Lady Mohr form. Much 
deeper colored than the two Jory varieties, a clear, rich violet-blue. J. Wills reports it 
grows & increases with him in Tennessee much better than Elmohr. H. J. Randall, in Eng- 
land, reports it has “‘more of the Onco in its makeup than Morning Blue. A fine acquisition 
that has been much admired.’ Apparently has ‘‘adaptability,’’ which everyone wants.

deeper blue veininG. Large semi-flaring falls slightly deeper blue. Very large flowers dis 
playing a degree of perfection seldom seen. First prize, best seedling, California Spring

rivaties. Has pollen, sets seed. E-40". 
Cory "48) te $3.50; 
A lovely blue self with that Onco look—a flower of superb form, gigantic size, borne on 
tall stems. Height and branching of Tall Bearded combined with Onco flower form. Falls

that do not have Onco influence. Harold |. Johnson says: ‘A massive light blue which will 
afford competition for Blue Valley.” Has pollen, sets seed. E-42”.
