Two Best Inexpensive Pollen Parents ~~~“ 
(Van Tubergen) E-13” There are two wholly different 
plants being sold as Ib-mac. The true form is exceedingly scarce. It is a big globular 
flower, deep rosy violet, greatly resembling its offspring Capitola, but more striking. Has 
an intensely black signal patch and other Onco attributes. One of the three most potent 
Oncobred pollen parents; the others are Joppa Parrot and Capitola. Beard, wide, Oncolike 
diffuse, brown. Leaves white-based, strongly sickle-shaped, in Onco fashion. Pollen abun- 
dant, highly fertile. Rhizomes small. [lberica x Macrantha}....$2.00 
CAPITOLA (Reinelt ’40) VE-28” Ile 
i oday. Among its many descendants: LADY MOHR, FANCYWORKS, CONQUEST, 
MORNING BLUE, BLUE ELEGANCE, PEG DABAGH, HEIGHO, HURRICANE, ANATOLIA. Also 
valuable as a garden subject. Colossal blooms of superb form in brilliant red-violet. Does 
not set seed; when it has pollen it is highly potent; should be tried on all the finer, newer 
Tall Bearded Iris. Better start NOW!

FLURRY MOHR (Rees ’50) * EM-42” A huge rich deep violet from Snow Flurry x 
Capitola. Standards tend to flatten out somewhat so this makes a wonderful single-flower ar- 
rangement, or an ideal flat-dish display if the standards are bent down under the falls. Gives a 
breath-taking effect and your friends will be amazed............ $1.50; 3 for $3.95

MOHRLOFF (Schirmer '49) OM From the Oncobred ORMOHR x the plicata 
ORLOFF has come MOHRLOFF, effectively combining both the names and flower character-

Orloff is missing, and instead we have the lavender of Ormohr, sprinkled over a white 
ground. Sets seed easily and has abundant pollen............. $1.00; 3 for $2.75

A Real Departure! YELLOW ONCOBREDS 
MOHR BEAUTY (Milliken 749) * LM-36” First and only yellow Oncobred 
with Onco form. Harks back to its famous seed-parent, Elmohr. A glistening, ruffled pale 
yellow with a white signal at end of bright yellow beard. Hybridizers should cross with 
intense yellow and orange tones (as Gold Sovereign and Royal Sovereign) to deepen the 
yellow. While Onco in bloom, it has the virtue of foliage like Tall Bearded. Easy to grow.

DEEP BUTTERCUP (Muhlestein ’48) E-26” An intensely bright yellow of large

Regelias. Does not have Lady Mohr form, but may prove a stepping stone in that direction, 
for it sets-seed and its pollen is extremely fertile, especially on Oncobreds. Very fra-

Unusual WHITE Oncobreds 
PURISSAMOHR (Weidner ’52) @®Hi ML-40” Acclaimed as the most sensa- 
tional Oncobred to be introduced in a good many years. A grand pure white of faultless clas- 
sic form. Flowers large, very heavy substanced with closed domed standards and very broad 
flaring falls. Delightfully ruffled. No haft markings to detract from the purity of color. 
Beard golden tan terminating in a point so characteristic of Oncobreds. Splendid sturdy 
stalks with three branches and a terminal, permitting 8 to 10 flowers to be spaced to good 
advantage without crowding. Superb blood for breeding better whites. Sets seed readily. 
Originated in Pennsylvania and is thoroughly hardy throughout the East. Sweet fragrance.

PARACHUTE #2 (Loomis ’52) (®) M-ML-35” Dr. Loomis, the creator of 
Elmohr, has done a great deal of breeding with Wm. Mohr to produce better Oncobreds. 
Those that have come out white or nearly white he has dubbed the Parachutes. No. 2 is a 
very heavy substanced flower with distinctly Mohr form. When it first opens petals are 
pale lavender, marbled in deeper lavender but they gradually lighten to almost pure white.
