PEPPER (Marx ‘50) M 30” $.75 
(Suez X Orloff) 
The petals shade from cream to yellow and are marked or 
‘peppered’ with a ruddy purple. 
PERSIAN MOHR (Austin ‘53) EM 33” $2.25 
(Golden Majesty X Capitola) 
The large round standards are of a silvery violet while the 
dark mulberry falls are patterned with intricate brown 
markings. 
PESHAWAR (Schreiner ‘37) VE 26” $.60 
(Unknown) 
This appealing flower is of a velvety black-purple with a 
silvery powdered surface. It is a fast increaser and will set 
some seed as well as produce pollen. A.M. ‘43 
POLLY (Lothrop ‘44) M 24” $.50 
(Sweet Alibi X susiana sdlg.) 
Medium blue self—a disappointment as far as Onco looks. 
PRESENT (White ‘41) E 30” $1.25 
(Onco X Bearded) 
An orchid veined white flower which is decorated with a 
darker signal patch. One we like. 
PROFESSOR MITCHELL (Cayeux ‘30) M 40” $.50 
(David X Terpsichore) 
Trepsichore is an old van Tubergen variety which so far as 
we know is unavailable in this country—at least we can 
locate none. It is from Korolkowi Violaceae X susiana. In 
spite of the interesting parentage, the large mulberry purple 
blooms take after the tall bearded seed parent. 
PUFF (Craig ‘52) E 24" $2.50 
(Snow Flurry X Capitola) 
A charming small gray-blue with much ruffling. 
PUNCH BOWL (Grey-Blue ‘51) E 36” $3.50 
[(Tiffany X Los Angeles) X (sib.)] X (Joppa Parrot) 
If this has a fault, it is in the profuse blooming habit. One of 
our all time favorites whose description can not do it justice. 
The well branched flower stems are set with large flowers 
of almost white are heavily veined and bordered with deep 
burgundy. 
QUEEN ANNE (Wayman ‘32) E 36” $1.00 
(Unknown) 
We quote from an old Catalog of Wayman’s “An exquisitely 
beautiful Iris, entirely in a class by itself. The dome shaped 
standards are beautifully creped, cream colored with a faint 
bronze overcast. The flaring falls are of the same color, 
prominently veined pansy-violet, with old gold veining at 
the throat to the tip of the beard—The record as to its 
parentage was lost, but I was using some Oncocyclus pollen 
on Tall Bearded Iris at the time and I believe the unusual 
effect results from this.’ 
REAL GOLD (Austin ‘52) M 20” $8.00 
(Golden Majesty X Capitola) 
While not large or tall, we were quite impressed with the 
beautiful golden buff color of this Iris whose falls are broad 
and flaring and enhanced with soft brown veins. The origi- 
nator says it yields good pollen. 
RIPPLES (Linse ‘51) EM 36” $3.50 
(Ormohr X Snoqualmie) 
Old lilac with an olive edging. 
SARDIS (White ‘44) M 15” $.75 
(Oncobred) 
A medium sized flower of lilac violet which has great charm. 
There is a light penciling and signal patch of dark red- 
purple. 
SHERIFFA (White ‘42) E| 36% $.50 
(Onco, Regelia and Tall Bearded) 
A most distinctive Iris whose metallic finish is an eye-catcher. 
The flowers are of an iridescent purple with a strange cast 
of blue. It is hardy and increases well. We have occasion- 
ally had it set seed. Very satisfactory. H.M. ‘43 - A.M. ‘45 
SILVER CHARM (Craig ‘48) E307 $.60 
(Purissima X Ib-Mac) 
This inexpensive light silver-blue with the darker flecking is 
well named—for it is charming. 
SOME LOVE (White ‘38), M 24” $1.00 
(Polyhymnia X Jubilee) 
The seed parent is another of those unattainable origina- 
tions of van Tubergen‘s and comes from Korolkowi violaceae 
X iberica van houtei. This beautiful oyster-white bloom has 
cavtured much of the Onco beauty with its covering of minute 
dots and fine veins of gray-purple. H.M. ’39 
SOQUEL (Reinelt *40) M 26” $.75 
(Wm. Mohr X Sunol) 
A large deep lavender Mohr with even more intensely col- 
ored veins. Sets seed. 
SUEZ (Schreiner ‘44) M 33” $1.00 
(Wm. Mohr X Mme. Louis Areau) 
A sturdy easily grown Iris with rich mulberry to rosy helio- 
trope flowers which are veined and dotted with a deeper 
tone. Fertile in both pollen and seeds. 
TEHERAN (White ‘46) E $.75 
(Oncobred) 
A rather short stemmed but showy flower of medium reddish 
color with darker veins. A really scarce item. 
WESTWAYS (White ’36) VE 12” $.50 
(Urmiensis X Bonita) 
From a rare Oncocyclus specie. This small blue self displays 
its Onco parentage. 
WILLIAM MOHR_ (Mohr-Mitchell ‘25) E 18” $.50 
(Parisiana X gatesi) 
Certainly this is one of the most famous Iris in the world and 
doubtless it appears in the genealogy of more named varie- 
ties than any other single origination. In spite of the narrow 
unattractive foliage it produces lilac flowers which are really 
huge. Conspicuous veins of violet further enhance this Onco 
like bloom. A.M. 
YARKAND (White ‘47) M 24” $1.50 
(Unknown) 
The large globular flowers remind one of susiana in shape. 
Really a bi-tone in violet, shading from wistaria in the 
standards to deep purple-violet in the veined falls. Although 
it has never proved fertile for us, we keep trying, for we 
like it very much. 
YOUNG APRIL (White ‘40) Evi25 $.75 
(Unknown) 
Of a bright violet the standards have tiny flecks of gold. 
The falls are of golden-tan which show as a narrow border 
—so heavily is it veined and dotted in egg-plant brown. The 
small signal is intense black. Cuts well. 
YUSSUF (White ‘42) E 30” $.75 
(Oncobred) 
This flower of rose-purple is veined in straw-yellow with 
splashes of the same color—much atter the fashion of ‘Joppa 
Parrot’. It grows well and blooms prolifically with us and is 
quite Onco in appearance. 
ZEBULON (Callis ‘41) LM 39” $1.00 
(Sir Knight X Ormohr) 
Shades from lilac-rose to purple-crimson, this flower is deco- 
rated with maroon veins. Reported to be fertile both ways— 
even on difficult hybrids. A rather new acquisition with us 
—we have not tried its fertility. 
ZIA (White ‘45) iby $.50 
(Oncobred) 
Easy to grow and blooms well. This smoky lavender has the 
‘Aril look’ and lasts well when cut. 
ZWANENBURG (Denis 12) VE 20” $.50 
(Lutescens Aurea X Susiana) 
This odd flower of rather olive-cream has small splashes of 
maroon and flecks of almost green. One of the parents of 
‘Mohresque’.
