@Onco-Bred Pris 
ALTA MOHR (Paul 48) L 36” $1.00 
(Wm. Mohr X Alta California) 
Flaring falls of violet-orchid have heavy veins of maroon. 
The standards are of perhaps a more purple orchid than the 
falls. 
AMERICAN MODERN (Craig ‘51) 
(Gay Senorita X Joppa Parrot) 
The Joppa Parrot ancestry shows clearly in this handsome 
favorite of ours. The fine flowers are in olive-ochre, flecked 
with blue-green and the falls are veined with a dark red. An 
excellent bloomer—it increases well and has proven a good 
pod-parent for us. 
ANATOLIA (Craig “49) M 30” 
(Tiffany X Los Angeles) X (Capitola) 
This vigorous grower from the Mohr line has light red-violet 
blooms which are veined and dotted in the characteristic 
Oncocyclus manner. 
ANITA CATHERINE ‘(S. Clarke ‘49) 
(Purissima X Mohrson) 
The large flowers are of a blue-white but unfortunately show 
little evidence of the exotic background—indeed but one 
eighth Onco is present in their makeup. It sets seed however, 
and has given its originator ‘Gold Smoke’. 
APPOINTEE (White ‘41) M 36” $.50 
(Unknown) 
While this plant has several good qualities, it is chiefly 
interesting for its yellow flowers which have a chartreuse 
cast of varying intensity with different growers. From it we 
have had many seedlings, several with noticeable green 
tones—one in particular is pale blue with a broad flush in 
both standards and falls of chartreuse green. Appointee is 
the pollen parent of ‘Green Hat’, an origination of Mr. 
George Murray which is being introduced this year by the 
Norwood Iris Gardens. HeCy 4 
ARDRUN (McLeod ‘53) $15.00 
(Artemis X Gudrun) 
A gigantic purplish-red flower with very strong midribs which 
are most noticeable in the flaring falls. A dramatic accent 
is lent by the unusually wide, heavy brownish-black beard. 
The fertile pollen and unusual parentage combine to make 
this a breeder’s flower—the seed parent, Artemis, is from 
the Regelia ‘Korolkowi Violaceae’ crossed by the Oncocyclus 
‘Mariae’. 
M 36” $6.00 
$3.00 
M-L 44” $1.50 
E 36” 
ASKALON (Jory °49) M 30” $1.00 
(Grace Mohr Sdlg. X Capitola) 
A pinkish-lavender hybrid with deeper colored falls lighted 
by a yellow flush. Note the Mohr blood in both seed and 
pollen parents. 
AZIM (White ‘42) 
(Unknown) 
Veins and heavy striations of varying tones give this olive- 
buff blossom a definite look of the Orient. 
BALI AGHA (White ‘51) E-L 33” $3.00 
As in many Oncos, this is a bicolor with standards of 
lavender veined in purple and falls of a rich buff veined 
and splashed in red. Most distinctive. 
BALROUDOR (J. Sass ‘33) Ee $.50 
(Yellow Pumila Sdlg. X Beatrix) 
One of the dwarf onco-breds, of which there are many good 
ones. This light blue bi-tone has a most interesting pedigree. 
Its pollen parent ‘Beatrix’ is from the Regelia ‘Korolkowi 
Violaceae’ X the Onco specie ‘Susiana’. 
M 36” 
E 30” $1.00 
BALTIS (White ‘48) $1.50 
(Unknown) 
The deep rich violet blooms show a pronounced Onco type 
and the good branching habit make this a desirable subject 
for both the garden and cutting. H.M. ‘48 
BARRIMOHR (W. Miller ‘44) E 30” $.75 
(Wm. Mohr X Adobe) 
A large ruffled flower of mulberry-violet with flaring falls. 
Heavy substance with a velvety finish. 
BED TIME (White ‘38) E 24” $.75 
(Sofarana X Susiana) X (Yellow Sdlg.) 
The seed parent, which is itself a cross of two dramatic 
Onco species, has given this beautiful bloom its deep purple 
veining on a cream-brown ground. It is further ornamented 
by a velvety black signal patch so characteristic of the wild 
‘Lily of the Field’. 
BELADI (White ‘40) 
(Unknown) 
This strong growing plant produces large globular blooms 
of lavender, veined and dotted with violet and displaying 
a deep rich signal patch. Also an excellent subject for 
cutting. 
BEN ADHEM (Morris ‘50) Er2oi 
(Hoogiana X Benton Daphne) 
Actually this is a Regelia hybrid—of which we have a lim- 
ited number in commerce. This easy to grow example has 
deep lilac-blue flowers of good size and increases rapidly. 
BENJAMIN (Morris ‘50) VE 11" $4.00 
(Stolonifera X Yellow Chamaeiris) 
Another interesting cross which involves a Regelia specie. 
The cream-white flowers have fine lines of lime-green in 
the standards and a marbling of lilac and maroon in the 
yellow edged falls. Both standards and falls are bearded. 
BLUE ELEGANCE (Jory *48) E 40” $2.00 
(Purissima X Capitola) 
The large blossoms with semi-flaring falls are of chicory- 
blue with veins of a deeper tone. The plant is reported as 
being winter hardy in spite of the Purissima blood which 
is sometimes, though not always tender. H.M. ‘49 
BLUE FAIRY (Muhlstein ‘53) E 36” 
(Cool Lemonade X Hoogie Boy) 
This ruffled blue self is the product of two of Tell’s intro- 
ductions and boasts one quarter Hoogiana blood. Sets seed. 
BLUE OX (Craig ‘49) M 30” $2.00 
(Acropolis X White Onco-bred) 
There is an almost leathery quality about the big lavender- 
blue flowers. While it produces no pollen, it readily sets 
seed. 
BLUING (Craig ‘51) E 20” 
(Purissima X Capitola) 
Another introduction from a famous cross. A starched and 
flaring light blue self of distinction. 
E 30” $.50 
$1.00 
$2.00 
$3.00 
BLUMOHR (Marx ’49) M 36” $5.00 
(Wm. Mohr X Orloff) 
One of the first Onco-breds to come in the blue tones. The 
large plumbago blue flowers have the distinguishing form 
but none of the veining of the true Oncos. The heavy sub- 
stance gives this one lasting qualities and it also produces 
an abundance of pollen. H.M. ‘49- A.M. ‘52. 
BRILLIG (White ‘49) M 24” $.75 
(Sofarana X Susiana) X (yellow Sdlg.) 
The name of this charming flower recalls a bit of Lewis 
Carroll's nonsense. Purple Onco veining on the creamy yel- 
low blooms converge into a dark toned signal. 
BUTTERFLY WINGS (White ‘46) M 36” 
(Pink Jadu X Susiana ) X (Theme X Sacremento) 
While the seed parent is but half Onco, it has passed to its 
offspring a charming array of exotic characteristics. The many 
blooms are borne on tall, well branched stalks. It sets seed 
easily although we have never had it cross with another 
Onco-bred. The standards are of light lilac-blue and the 
parchment colored falls are heavily patterned in mulberry, 
crimson and russet-brown. A startling flower, which is one of 
our favorites. H.M. ‘47 
CAPISTRANO (Tompkins) M 36” $.50 
(Wm. Mohr X Mussolini) X (Intermezzo) ‘revised’ 
A shimmering blend of rose, violet and blue. 
$2.00
