PURISSIMA (Mohr-Mitchell ‘27) 
(Argentina X Conquistador) 
The hardiness of this Iris and its descendants has always 
been open to question. The parentage is involved but broken 
down it has ‘mesopotamica’ on both sides—in fact it amounts 
to one half! This specie—one of the first tetraploids to be 
used in breeding is unfortunately tender. Purissima is a 
beautiful white and appears in the ancestry of a great num- 
ber of Iris—among them ‘Snow Flurry’ and many Oncobreds. 
Doubtless it has passed on to some of its children a tend- 
ency toward tenderness—but let us, not accept ALL Tall 
Bearded varieties from it and exclude ALL Onco involve- 
ments without fair trial! Its honors? A minor one in England!
