CAPITOLA (Reinelt ‘40) E 20” $1.00 
(Wm. Mohr X Ib-Mac) 
Strictly speaking this is a breeder's flower, for it is not too 
easy for the average gardener. Also it has little to recom- 
mend it from the standpoint of garden value. It contains the 
blood of the Onco ‘gatesi’ on one side and ‘iberica’ on the 
other. It is considered and indeed looks like a Mohr. Authori- 
ties class it as one of the three most potent pollen parents 
which have Onco involvements. The large flowers are slightly 
patterned on a red-violet ground. 
CERULEAN (Craig ‘50) E 40” $6.00 
(Purissima X Capitola) 
The large Mohr type flowers are a beautiful cerulean blue 
with faint veins which indicate its breeding. 
CITRINE (White-Eckels ‘53) E 40” $8.00 
(Unknown) 
The smoky chartreuse blossoms are veined in a darker tone 
with deeper green styles and crest. It is reported by the 
introducer as being ‘about half Onco’. 
COGETTE (White ‘38) E 24” $.75 
(Charon X Susiana) X (Yellow Sdlg.) 
A charming flower of rosy purple with veins and signal of 
darker tones. The seed parent has the blood of two Oncos 
‘Atropurpurea’ and Susiana as well as the Regelia ‘Korol- 
kowi Venosa’. (See Charon in Aril Section.) 
COLOSSAL (Marx *46) M-L 30” $1.00 
(Wm. Mohr X El Capitan) 
The really huge Mohr-type flowers are of a soft lavender- 
violet with a darker veined patterning. 
CORONATION TAPESTRY (Craig ‘53) M 36” $10.00 
(Gay Senorita X Joppa Parrot) 
We consider this one of Mr. Craig’s outstanding and im- 
portant introductions. It is a bi-color involving lilac, brown, 
purple and green in an indescribable manner. It is a fast 
increaser and we would certainly not be without it. 
DOXA (H. Sass ’29) E 24” $.60 
(Unknown) 
This variety has an Aril look and is usually considered as 
belonging in this group, although as far as we know there 
is no definite proof of its Onco make-up. The olive-yellow 
flowers which have shadings of green and lavender are 
strange and interesting rather than beautiful. It is the seed 
parent of ‘Mohresque’ and possibly useful in a ‘green’ breed- 
ing program. H.M. ‘28. 
DUE WEST (White ‘34) E 30” $.60 
(Purissima X Susiana) 
Unfortunately this white with the faint blue blush shows no 
evidence of its Onco parent. Interesting mostly to those 
afflicted with ‘Collector’s Fever’. 
DUST STORM (Kidd ‘53) L 24” $2.00 
(Jean Cayeux) X (Jean Cayeux X Charon) 
The Oncogelia ‘Charon’ gives this flower both intriguing 
form and interesting color. The white standards are flushed 
a light pinkish buff, while the light lilac-brown falls fade to 
gray at the edges. The dark cinnamon beard sets off the 
typical regelia form. (See Aril Section for ‘Charon’.) 
EARLY MASS (White ‘37) E-M 36” $.50 
(Purissima X Susiana) 
A light blue self which like others of this same breeding 
show little if any Onco traits. However we have learned 
that some of this group will set to Onco-bred pollen and 
pass to the progeny very definite Aril looks. 
ELAN (White ‘39) E 28” $.50 
(Sweet Alibi X Jocund) 
A large ruffled white flower with faint tints of blue. 
ELENA CHOOSING (White ‘44) E-M 37” $1.00 
(Answer X Jocund) 
Since Jocund is supposedly one half Onco, it follows that in 
this flower we have one quarter Onco blood. The glistening 
metallic gold blooms have shadings of darker bronze and 
lilac which give more evidence of its Onco parentage. 
ELMOHR (Loomis “42) M 34” $.75 
(Wm. Mohr X H 22: a red seedling) 
This Dyke’s Medal winner was a sensation when first seen 
and well grown specimens will still stop traffic. Unique in 
shape, the color lies between reddish mulberry and a glowing 
dahlia purple. While the veins are of the same color, they 
have a prominence which gives added character to this 
handsome ‘must’. Readily sets seed and occasionally has 
potent pollen. Dyke's Medal ‘45. 
ENCHANTED (White ‘39) E 30” $1.00 
(Onco X Bearded) 
The large cupped standards are white which is almost ob- 
scured, so heavy is the veining of deep mulberry. The falls 
are veined in maroon and have a brown beard and a black 
signal patch. 
ENGRAVED (Craig ‘52) E-M 32” $7.50 
(Mariposa Mia X Capitola) 
The pale pearl-gray flowers are heavily veined with a neutral 
gray pattern and a violet flush. H.M. ‘53 
ESDRAELON (White ’44) VEVoe $.50 
(Landmark X ?) 
Landmark is an older origination of Mr. White's. The parent- 
age is listed as Onco X Tall Bearded—thus Esdraelon is 
one quarter Onco. A bold purple flower of heavy substance 
and velvety texture with flaring falls. We have found it 
fertile both ways and await blooms from some of its pro- 
geny at this writing. Named for the great plain in Palestine 
mentioned in the Bible. 
ETCHING (Craig ‘52) L 30” $5.00 
(Mariposa Mia X Capitola) 
A pale gray Mohr with veins which seem to have been 
‘etched’ by some Master Artist. 
EVENSONG (Frazee ‘50) M 36” $2.50 
(N. J. Thomas X Sdlg.) 
The wide full flowers are of Mignon and Patriarch purple. 
The introducer reports that it sets seed. H.M. ‘50 
FAIR ENOUGH (White ‘35) EE 36” $.50 
(Purissima X Susiana) 
While the smooth light blue flowers display little of its 
parents exotic appearance we have a number of seedlings 
by Joppa Parrot—at least one of which is quite handsome, 
and interesting. It has variegated foliage and the huge 
flower is in shades of purples and violets with an almost 
black signal patch which in certain lights shows a green 
iridescence. It is however not sufficiently meritorious of 
introduction. 
FALLEN LEAF (Williamson ’31) E 15” $1.25 
(Korolkowi X Dwarf Bearded) 
This novel Iris has narrow pointed flowers after the manner 
of its Regelia parent. The standards are reddish wine deep- 
ening into claret-maroon in the falls which have an almost 
black signal set with a bronze beard. 
FANCY WORK (Craig ‘51) E-M 40” $7.50 
[(Tiffany X Los Angeles) X (Sib)] X (Capitola) 
A fine Mohr like bloom of yellow which is decorated with 
Burgundy red. 
FAR CROSS (White ‘40) E 24” $.75 
(Unknown) 
While the parentage is unknown, the Iris Check List credits 
this variety with one quarter Onco blood and it looks the 
part. The medium sized flowers are of a beautiful deep, dark 
maroon that looks almost black when first opened. 
FRANCES CRAIG (Craig ‘52) M 40” $10.00 
(Snow Flurry X Capitola) 
Tom Craig really knew what he was doing when he named 
this charming flower, for if it could talk we feel sure it 
would reflect further the wit and personality of the Lady 
known as ‘Fran’. The steady stream of awards it has won 
since it was first shown speaks most eloquently in its favor. 
Oh! the color? Tom's description ‘grayed lavender self’ gives 
little hint of its great beauty. Increases rapidly. 
H.C. ‘51 - H.M. ‘53 - A.M. ‘54 
GAZA (Jory ‘49) E-M 27” $1.50 
(Grace Mohr Sdlg. X Capitola) 
The large flowers are of a peculiar shade known as clay- 
pink.
