MISS MUFFET (Salbach ‘40) E 20” $.75 
(Dauntless X W. R. Dykes) X (Wm. Mohr X Ib-Mac) 
An odd rather than beautiful flower. The standards are pale 
violet veined in brown and the falls are of chartreuse-yellow 
with a slight marbling of purple. Not an easy parent although 
we have had it pollenize ‘Appointee’. 
MOAB (Jory ‘49) EM $2.50 
(Grace Mohr Sdlg. X Capitola) 
The full Mohr type blooms are brown, of a strange and 
exotic appearance. 
MOHR BEAUTY (Milliken ’49) 
(Elmohr X Yellow Sdlg.) 
In form it resembles the famous Elmohr, although there is a 
bit more ruffling in the petals. It is a self of pale light yellow 
relying on its form for the lovey effect it gives. 
MOHR ELEGANCE (Austin ‘43) EM 32” $2.50 
(Snow Flurry X Capitola) 
A Mohr of lovely color and elegant form in pale amethyst 
with a light yellow beard. Stiffly arched standards and flaring 
falls of heavy substance make up a flower which clearly 
shows its Onco breeding. 
M 36” $3.00 
MOHRESQUE (Keith ‘50) EM 38” $2.00 
(Doxa X Zwanenburg) 
From two low growing plants has come this tall variety with 
which we were quite impressed. The quarter Susiana blood 
is evidenced in both shape and coloring. The light brown 
standards are ‘Mohr’ like and the falls shade from yellowish 
buff to olive-chartreuse at the hafts and are splashed and 
flecked with purple. Sets some seed. 
MOHRLOFF (Schirmer ‘49) M $1.00 
(Ormohr X Orloff) 
Although this Iris is but one eighth Onco, it has quite an 
Onco look which is further accented by the plicata blood 
from the pollen parent. The flowers have a white ground 
heavily marked in an all over pattern of lavender. Almost 
universally reported as fertile both ways. We can go so far 
as to say that its pollen was potent on almost anything we 
used it with—both tall bearded and Onco-bred. 
MOHRSON (White ‘35) M 36” $.50 
(Wm. Mohr X ?) 
Credited with being the first recorded seedling from Wm. 
Mohr. The flower is as large as its famous parent and ruf- 
fled, of a red-violet that is almost black in its deeper parts. 
The plant is taller and more rugged than the famous Mohr. 
It not only sets seed but has fertile pollen. 
MOLASSES (White-Lothrop ‘44) M 33’ $2.00 
([(Theme X Sacramento) X (Pink Jadu X Susiana)] 
[(Dauntless X Mirasol) X (hauransis) ]) 
The quite involved pedigree reveals two oncocyclus species 
in the makeup of this quite red Onco-bred - susiana and 
hauranensis. The soft bronze-red standards are closed over 
velvety flaring falls of a rich dark scarlet. The pollen is 
plentiful generally and it will set seed. ; 
MONSIEUR STEICHEN (Denis ‘10) Eplow $1.00 
(Chamaeiris Alba X iberica) 
This cross of a dwarf specie and an Onco has standards of 
white with a pearly quality and light olive-buff falls with 
darker veins and a signal of mulberry. 
MORNING BLUE (Jory ‘48) E 40” $2.00 
(Purissima X Capitola) 
Another huge flower out of this famous cross. There are 
variations in the rich medium blue color according to its 
highlights and shadows. 
MOUNT ARARAT (Jory *49) EM $1.00 
(Grace Mohr X Miss Muffet) 
Here we have Onco blood on both sides of the family which 
has resulted in a violet plicata marking on an almost white 
ground. 
MOUNT SINAI (Jory ‘49) EM $1.50 
(Grace Mohr Sdlg. X Capitola) 
A most interesting flower in a brownish coffee color. 
_MOHRNING DOVE (Craig ’53) Evooe $7.50 
(Mariposa Mia X Capitola) 
The large Mohr type blooms have light lavender-gray stand- 
-_ards and falls of yellow-green, stippled and veined in sandal- 
wood. A beauty. 
MOURNING DOVE (Toedt ’32) $1.00 
(Unknown) 
While there isino recorded parentage of this Iris its growers 
consider it an Onco-bred. It is white, heavily stippled in 
gray-lavender and flushed with buff. 
MOZO (White ‘38) E 30” $.75 
(Sofarana X susiana) X (Yellow Mitchell Sdlg.) 
We are indebted to information recorded in an early Milliken 
Catalog for the above parentage. Sofarana is, we believe, 
generally considered a form or variation of susiana. Whether 
this be true or not—Mozo is half Oncocyclus—and looks it] 
The medium sized flower is of creamy yellow veined in 
bronze-red on both standards and falls. We know of no 
recorded offspring but this easily grown beauty is sufficient 
unto itself. For us it is usually the first Onco-bred to bloom. 
MUSTAPHA (White ‘40) E 24” $1.25 
(Onco-bred) 
This exceptional looking flower has gray and lavender stand- 
ards and flaring falls of maroon. 
MY DAY (Tharp 44) M $1.00 
(Wm. Mohr X Los Angeles) 
This white Mohr has overtones of shades of violet. 
MY O MY (White °41) E 24” $1.00 
(Onco-bred) 
The medium sized white blossoms are veined and dotted at 
the edges with rosy purple. The falls which appear somewhat 
darker due to heavier veining are further enhanced by a 
pointed dark purple signal patch. 
NELSON OF HILLY (White “41) E 24” $1.00 
(Onco-bred) 
Standards of white with a bluish lavender cast rise above 
cream colored falls which are beautifully dotted with cinna- 
mon and purple. 
NEW LOOK (P. R. Johnson ‘52) 
(Wm. Mohr X probably Bruno) 
Tall good looking Mohr of reddish purple with intricate Onco 
like veining. 
NIGHT MOTH (Craig ‘50) E 38” $5.00 
(Advance Guard X M2-21) X (Jumna) 
A really lovely bloom and one of our great favorites. Note 
that here Mr. Craig has used one of Mr. White’s newer crea- 
tions for the pollen parent and the result fully justifies the 
inspiration. The flowers are pale wistaria, veined in muted 
violins—I mean violet!!! If you like the gaudy ones—this is 
not for you—it takes appreciation for subtlety. Occasionally 
produces ‘proliferation’ along the stem after the manner of 
some day lilies. We have seed from it. 
E-M 33” $3.50 
N. J. THOMAS (Thomas-Thorup ‘44) M 26” $.50 
(Wm. Mohr X El] Capitan) another record gives cardinal 
as pollen parent. 
This blue-purple bi-color has a velvety heavy substance with 
Onco appearance. 
ORMACO (Kleinsorge ‘42) ML 33” $.60 
(Aztec Copper X Ormohr) 
Rich purple with copper undertones. Fertile both ways. 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge ‘37) M 40” $.60 
(Wm. Mohr X Anakim) 
A large violet Mohr which is a good pod parent. One of its 
offspring, ‘Lady Dozier’, received an H.M. ‘51. 
OVER HERE (White ‘38) M 32” $.75 
(Unknown) 
This is reportedly one quarter Onco. It is of light silvery red 
with blackish crimson veins which are quite prominent about 
the almost white hatfts. 
PEG DABAGH (Craig ‘48) EM 40” $1.00 
(Purissima X Capitola) 
Has the form of Lady Mohr (the flower, not the lady) and 
is colored a rich violet-blue. Widespread reports say it is 
‘hardy, increases well and shows adaptability’. It is ad- 
mired even by some who say they care little for Onco-breds. 
It was awarded a Gold Cup at the ‘49 ae etree Sov 
.M. ‘48
