Oncocyclus Hybrids 
These remarkable species are perfectly hardy to our coldest winter weather, but require the protection of a cold 
frame, so that they can be covered and allowed to die down after they have finished flowering, at which time they 
require a period of rest. This is accomplished by withholding all moisture throughout the entire summer by means of 
the protection of a cold frame. Given this treatment, they flower profusely in my gardens. Where only a few are 
grown, the same results may be accomplished by potting them, burying the pots in the fall, where they are left until 
after flowering season; then the pots may be lifted and put away to dry. The best soil is a combination of sand and 
ordinary garden soil with a liberal percentage of peat mixed in and some bone meal for fertilizer. 
Susiana 
Regelia Hybrids 
These very beautiful species are among the most re¬ 
markable of all Irises, some for their delicacy of coloring 
and smooth texture; others for their intricate veining and 
unique form. They are not at all difficult to grow in a cold 
frame, given the same treatment as Oncocyclus Iris. They 
will well repay any special attention given them. They 
flower in Bayside in early May, before any of the Tall 
Bearded Iris.
