heather or other light material in order to keep off heavy rains. The Oncocyclus Irises like to 
remain undisturbed for years. The great beauty of these Irises, especially when seen in established 
masses, will fully repay the little extra trouble in growing them. They are charming subjects for pots 
and take readily to a cold-frame treatment ; artificial heat they object to.

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. They should be given a rich loamy soil mixed with sand and 
mortar rubbish. About the middle of July the roots should be lifted and kept dry until October, when 
they should again be planted.
