NEW TYPE OF IRISES 
The«« are hybrids between the Oneocyelus hybrids and 
Dwarf Bearded hybrids. This is a articular difficult 
cross, owing to the sterility existing so often between 
t f hese two types. 
Combining the unusual coloring of the huge Oncocye- 
lus and the characteristic signal patch on the falls with 
Pumila hybrid coloring has produced color combinations 
unlike any previous known in thoroughly hardy, vigor¬ 
ous growing irises. These new iris are ironic and need 
no further winter protection. The foliage is persistent 
all season, remaining fresh and green from early spring 
until hard freezing. The colors are of an opalescent 
quality which it is impossible to convey adequately by 
description. The following are offered: 
BALROUDOUR (Jacob Sass, 19 33) -—— S, pallid soft 
bluish violet. F and stigmas deep olive buff darkening 
to dark olive buff toward center with an olive yellow
