PURISSAMOHR. (E. Weidner, 1952). M. 
L. Something new and sensational in the 
Iris world. A pure white Onco-hybrid 
that is a good grower, and thoroughly 
hardy. The large flowers are very heavy 
substanced with closely domed standards, 
and very broad flaring falls. The whole 
bloom is delightfully ruffled, and there are 
no haft markings or venations to detract 
from the clear purity of color. The beard 
is golden tan terminating in a point that 
is so characteristic of Onco-breds. The 
sturdy stalks (3 branches and terminal) 
have excellent branching that permits the 
8 to 10 flowers to be displayed to good ad- 
vantage with no crowding. The rhizomes 
and foliage are like the tall bearded iris, 
and it sets seed readily. Too much cannot 
be said in praise of this beautiful and out- 
standing Onco-Hybrid. H. C., A. I. Sa 
1951. H. M., A. 1. S., 1952. 40 in. $18.00 
PRETENDER.
