Dainty PEPPERED and SPI 
ANATOLIA (Craig ’49) % $3.00; 3 for $8.25 
The breeder of this, Tom Craig, states that it is the most Onco-like derivative of Wm. Mohr now in 
commerce. Color applied with much pattern in the Oncocyclus manner. Light red violet, slightly bi- 
color, with over all veining and stippling on the falls, with a suggestion of signal patch at tip of beard. 
Has much promise as a parent. M-30’. 
MOHRLOFF (Schirmer '49) $1.00 
From the Oncobred ORMOHR x the plicata ORLOFF has come MOHRLOFF, effectively combining 
both the names and flower characteristics. The pattern of peppered markings has come from Orloff, 
but the yellow ground of Orloff is missing, and instead we have the lavender of Ormohr, sprinkled 
over a white ground. Sets seed easily and has abundant pollen. M. 
PEPPER-—A descendent of Suez, and is % Onco. 
Yellow ground, lightly edged with dots and veins of mulberry. Fertile. M-27”.

At Last! YELLOW Oncobred: 
MOHR BEAUTY (Milliken 49) ++ Honorable Mention ’53 $3.50; 3 for $9.55 
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 at end of bright yellow beard. Hybridizers should 
cross with intense yellows and orange tones (as Gold Sovereign and Royal Sovereign) to deepen the 
yellow. While Onco in bloom, it has the virtue of foliage like Tall Bearded. Easy to grow. LM-36”. 
(Muhlestein '48) High Commendation '47 $2.00; 
An intensely bright yellow of large size. Huge buds look like great gobs of yellow wax. From Brown 
Betty x Golden Eagle, so has Y% Onco blooD. May cross more readily than Tall Bearded with Oncos, 
Oncogelias, Regelias. Does not have Lady Mohr form, but may prove a stepping stone in that direc- 
tion, for it sets seed and its pollen is extremely fertile, especially on Oncobreds. Very fragrant. E-36”. 
Superb BLUES and BLUE-VIOLETS 
FRANCES CRAIG (Craig '52) 4+ H.C. ’51 Honorable Mention ’53 $15.00; 3 for $41.25 
There have been many additions to the lovely blue Oncobreds in recent years, but here’s one that 
tops them all for size, color and form. Tom Craig considers it the best, most beautiful Iris he has ever 
created. A huge flower in pearly lilac blue with immense round falls flaring out beautifully. If you 
are one of the many who have come to prefer to get one or two really good new Iris each year, instead 
of many of the older ones, this is certainly one to get this year. You'll not regret it. M-38”. 
(Craig ’49) H.C. ’48, Honorable Mention ’49 $6.00; 
Immense broaD flaring flowers, often 6” or more across, of the toughest substance. Apparently Tom 
Craig has in mind that it will withstand a hurricane. Color pale powder blue, infused with lilac and 
white, usually strongly marbled lilac in an exotic manner. A number of the Iris judges 
have rated this as the finest of the many creations that Tom has released. Excellent pos- 
sibilities for hybridizers. VE-32”. 
(Craig '49) +x A striking, hardy Oncobred. $6.00; 
A favorite Oncobred that has a small but definite Onco-like signal, simply wonderful sub- 
stance. Flowers immense, globe-like, clear blue-violet, on tall wiry 45” stems; unbeliev- 
ably fine branching for an Oncobred. Gives you flowers all the way from very early to late. 
Reported to be a dependable bloomer in the East. Absolutely unsurpassed as a proven 
Oncobred seedparent. VE-L-45”.

Without doubt, the largest, finest red Oncobred available today. Standards heavily sub- 
stanced, deep wine-red, strangely upright, enabling one to look into the heart of the

Iris. From the Onco ancestry comes a wonderfully exquisite tracery of veins and dots.

Beard broad, golden brown. A wonderful and very distinctive new creation. Certainly 
among the finest of the Wm. Mohr seedlings ever produced. M-ML-34”.

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 $3.00; 
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.” Does well anywhere. E-40”.
