REGELIO-CYCLUS IRISES. 
(Hybrid Cushion Irises.) 
A beautiful new race of hybrid Irises, being crosses between the Oncocyclus and Regelia sections. 
The flowers, which resemble somewhat the Cushion Irises, are all prettily veined. Unlike the Oncocyclus 
Irises they are of fairly easy culture. They like a warm sunny situation and a thoroughly well-drained 
sandy loam soil enriched with well-decayed cow manure. If the soil is deficient in lime add some well- 
pulverised mortar rubbish. A raised bed against a south wall is a very suitable situation for these Irises. 
In planting let the tops be 2 inches below the surface and surround the roots with sand. During severe 
weather in winter give a light covering, such as dry heather, etc.

IXIA-— The African Corn Lily. 
A most graceful plant, bearing on wiry stems 15 to 21 
inches high long loose racemes of bloom of remarkably rich 
and varied colours. All have a brilliant dark centre, and 
in the sun’s rays present a picture- of gorgeous beauty. 
Culture in Pots. — From October to January plant 
five or six bulbs in a four- or five-inch pot, using a compost 
of turfy loam, leaf soil, and silver sand. Make the soil 
firm about the bulbs, and plunge the pots, up to the rim 
only, in ashes in a cold pit or frame, or under a south wall. 
Until a little top growth, has been made no water should 
be given, and then only sparingly at first. When the plants 
are in growth, the lights should be left off except during 
wet or frosty weather. Early in February, or when suffi- 
cient growth has been made, remove the plants to the 
greenhouse, keep close to the glass, and carefully attend to 
the watering. 
Culture Outdoors. — Plant from November to 
January, at a depth of three inches, and the bulbs two 
inches apart, on raised beds, in a prepared light loamy soil, 
in a sunny situation, protected if possible from cold east 
and northerly winds. When planting cover the bulbs with 
coarse sand. A covering of straw, litter, heather, or other
