all thru Aug., with some fall bloom, too. Attractive light yellow self with deep 
yellow veins. [(Pumila x ....) x (Cardinal x Autumn King)}..75¢; 3 for $1.80

Superb BLUES and BLUE-VIOLETS 
FRANCES CRAIG (Craig ’52) * M-38” There have been many additions to 
the lovely blue Oncobreds in recent years, but here’s one that tops them all for size, color 
and form. Tom Craig considers it the best, most beautiful Iris he has ever created. A 
huge flower in pearly lilac blue with immense round falls flaring out beautifully. If you are 
one of the many who have come to prefer to get one or two really good new Iris each year, 
instead of many of the older ones, this is certainly one to get this year. You'll not regret 
it. H0’51; HM’53 - [Snow Flurry x Capitola}............ $10.00; 3 for $22.50 
BLUMOHR (Marx '49) * ML-36” A big new blue from a different breeding 
line. From Wm. Mohr x Orloff in unveined Plumbago blue, reported as being bluer & less 
slate-colored than Morning Blue. From Tennessee comes report: “It is a perfect thing, in 
my way of thinking—the color of the Cattleya orchid.” Large rounded flowers remain in 
perfect condition for 3 to 4 days. Other new blues are early, but this blooms at midseason 
or later. Pollen abundant. HM’49; AM’52.................. 00. c cece cece ee ees $5.00 
HEIGHO (Craig ’49) *M VE-L-45” A favorite Oncobred that has a small but 
definite Onco-like signal, simply wonderful substance. Flowers immense, globe-like, clear 
blue-violet, on tall wiry 45” stems; unbelievably fine branching for an Oncobred. Gives you 
flowers all the way from very early to late. Reported to be a dependable bloomer in the 
East. Absolutely unsurpassed as a proven Oncobred seedparent. {Purissima x Capitola}.

HURRICANE (Craig ’49) VE-32” Immense broad flaring flowers, often 6” or 
more across, of the toughest substance. Apparently Tom Craig has in mind that it will 
withstand a hurricane. Color pale powder blue, infused with lilac and white, usually strongly 
marbled lilac in an exotic manner. A number of the Iris judges have rated this as the 
finest of the many creations that Tom has released. Excellent possibilities for hybridizers. 
CERULEAN (Craig) ® E-M-40” A handsome new Iris with distinctive Mohr 
form. Flowers large and broad, done in a most interesting color—light greyed-cerulean blue. 
Remarkably tall for an Oncobred. Considered so outstanding it was introduced at $25.00.

MORNING BLUE (Jory ’48) E-42” A lovely blue self with that Onco look—a 
flower of superb form, gigantic size, borne on tall stems. Height and branching of Tall 
Bearded combined with Onco flower form. Falls broad, semi-flaring, of good substance. A 
large, elegant new blue, very distinct from blues that do not have Onco influence. Harold I. 
Johnson says: “A massive light blue which will afford competition for Blue Valley.”’ Has 
pollen, sets seed. { Purissima x Capitola}.................... $2.00; 3 for $4.50

rich violet-blue. J. Wills reports it grows & increases with him in Tennessee much better 
than Elmohr. H. J. Randall, in England, reports it has ‘more of the Onco in its makeup than 
Morning Blue. A fine acquisition that has been much admired.” Does well anywhere.

VIGIL (Wills ’47) @ E to M to L-38” Famous for its extremely long blooming 
season. Will greet you in the spring with the early bloomers, extend through midseason 
and finally finish up with the late flowering Iris varieties. Hence should be one of the very 
best parents for those working toward ever-blooming Iris. A snowy, pure white, tailored 
to perfection. F. Kennedy in Iris Bul. 114 reports ‘The best white, if not the best Iris |

chusetts-bred white much in demand. Whole flower frilled and ruffled. The bright yellow 
beard is a sharp pleasing contrast to the purity of the bloom. Few Iris have the poise, 
beauty and floriferousness of this early white. Ten or more buds per stalk, often 3 flowers 
open at once. Nicely spaced. Comes from Snow Flurry x Easter Morn so should be a fine

WHITE PEACOCK (Pattison ’52) * M-38” We have many fine whites but | 
am inclined to think that | would place this at the top of the list. The BIG ruffled flowers 
of near-perfection are a vision of loveliness. The color is almost pure snow white but as 
evening approaches blue shadows seem to cast their spell over the blossom. Here is real

HELEN McKENZIE (Graves ’50) (®) M-37” For serene purity it is hard to beat 
a white Iris, and particularly is this true of Helen McKenzie, for this seems to be the 
whitest of them all. It is even whiter than Priscilla which was at one time considered the 
whitest of Iris. Petals are really white with no haft markings or touches of any other colors; 
even the beard is white. Also it is noted for its perfection of form. Standards perfectly 
domed and firmly held. Falls firm, broad, flaring. Flowers have perfect placement on well- 
branched stalks. Long season of bloom. Yes, a beautiful Iris to be desired. Already it has 
been used in breeding and has yielded the new release called The Citadel. HM’50; AM’53 —

SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis '47) * ML-38” Most heralded of all the new whites 
is this true self from the Colorado garden of Dr. Loomis, creator of Elmohr and Spindrift. 
A white as pure and unmarred as the great snow masses that cover the lofty peaks for 
which it was named. The flower, the throat, the style arms, even the beard, are all WHITE, 
pure white. A huge flower, possessing the distinctive charm that only a true self can have.
