From Milliken Iris Gardens catalog, 1940: MOHRSON (C. G . White) For many years iris hybridizers throughout the country tried, without results, to produce a William Mohr seedling. Mr. C. G. White was the first to meet with success in this endeavor, and has given us Mohrson. Being a cross of William Mohr by a pogon iris, Mohrson is but one-fourth oncocyclus. It is a charming and unusual iris, more vigorous than its parent, and showing unmistakably some of the desired oncocyclus characteristics. The flowers are simply enormous, with standards a rich, clear, deep violet with a cockled and varnished surface and ruffled edges. The color in the falls is effected by close veins and is a beautiful shade of violet. 2-1/2 feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50.
From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: MOHRSON (White '35) M 36" (Wm. Mohr X ?). Credited with being the first recorded seedling from Wm. Mohr. The flower is as large as its famous parent and ruffled, of a red-violet that is almost black in its deeper parts. The plant is taller and more rugged than the famous Mohr. It not only sets seed but has fertile pollen. $.50
