IRIS 
PASADENA. CALIF. 
Iris from Foreign Lands 
ONCOCYCLUS 
The varieties of this group are natives of 
Asia Minor and Persia where the summers are 
rainless. They start to grow with the fall rains 
and grow throughout the winter. Susiana 
grows well in California and is being success¬ 
fully grown by many amateur gardeners in 
other parts of the country. It has to be given 
winter protection in the colder sections and 
has to be lifted in sections which have sum¬ 
mer rains. Grow in full sun in warm location. 
Likes lime. 
IRIS SUSIANA (The Mourning Iris). A won¬ 
derful flower of large size, borne on 12 in. 
stems. It looks as if it were almost black, 
flecked with grey. In reality it has purple- 
black veining and spotting on a grey ground. 
The standards are somewhat lighter than the 
falls. Fall delivery only. 
Dozens $15.00; each $1.50 
REGELIA 
This group of Bearded Iris is closely related 
to the Oncocyclus group but is much easier to 
grow. It includes some of the most beautiful 
of all Irises and will be much more extensive¬ 
ly grown when better known. The rhizomes 
must be kept dry during the summer, either by 
lifting or being placed where they get no irri¬ 
gation. Growth does not start until late winter 
or early spring. 
HOOGIANA. Native of Turkestan. The late 
Mr. Dykes, the leading Iris authority, thinks 
that "Iris Hoogiana is perhaps the most aristo¬ 
cratic of all Irises. There is a grace and dis¬ 
tinction about the large flowers of uniform 
color, set off by the bright golden beard, which 
is not found even in the best pallidas." Color, 
pale grey-blue. N /2 ft- Fall delivery only. 
Each $1.00

stan. Those who see it stand and admire. The
