WM. MOHR. This strange and beautiful hybrid is named for one of the world's most famous hybridizers, and is considered as his greatest piece of work. The entire bloom is a self-color of pale lilac, closely netted and veined with deep violet, producing a weird, yet very lovely effect. In some ways it resembles the variety I. susiana, but lacks the dullness of this older sort, and is not at all difficult to grow. A monster flower, produced on stems up to 30 inches tall. At the iris show in St. Paul, Minn., last June it was a center of attraction. Each $1.00; three for $2.55; ten, $7.50 [Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932]
