blooms, very thick petals, (40 inch) well-

superb grace to each bloom. Midseason.

DISTANCE. Entering the lists as one of 
the finest blues. this cool, translucent light 
blue with a silvery cast is reminiscent of 
the blue of winter twilight. The pure, un- 
marred flower gives a cool, serene effect.

limpid color that strikes a responsive note 
with those in search of real blue shades.

EASTERMOHR. (Weidner 1953). M. Blue 
irises are my favorites, and for several 
years I have been looking for an Onco- 
hybrid that was really blue, and in Easter- 
mohr I have found it. It comes from a 
cross of William Mohr x Easter Morn, and 
it has inherited the color and excellent 
branching from the pollen parent. The 
flowers are large and ruffled, of clear 
medium blue with firmly cupped stand- 
ards, and full semi-flaring falls. Tall, 
sturdy three way branching stalks, vigor- 
ous foliage, and strong rhizomes. The 
blooms are most pleasing in form, and it is 
the bluest Onco-hybrid that I have seen. 
A great addition to this class of iris. 40 in.
