ONCOCYCLUS IRISES 27 



care should be taken that they do not suffer when in 

 blossom from the brilliancy of the sun, at any rate their 

 time of expansion would be lengthened if this could be 

 got over. I have never yet tried it, but I am thinking 

 of providing them next spring with a covering of tiffany, 

 or something like it, during the blossoming season and I 

 believe this wnTdo good. 



I hope that more and more, at any rate in any garden 

 where sunshine abounds, the cultivation of Oncocyclus 

 Irises will be pursued they distance everything else 

 that I have seen in the way of giving delight. 



HENRY EWBANK.
