NEW HYBRID CUSHION IRISES. 
(Regelia x Oncocyclus Hybrids.) 
A lovely new race of Irises, being the result of crosses between the Regelia and Oncocyclus species. 
They caused a great sensation at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show, May 17th, 1904, when first shown, 
several being awarded certificates. These Irises have proven to be of fairly easy culture, and we can 
strongly recommend them to Iris lovers.
