POGO CYCLUS HYBRIDS 
HESE odd and beautiful 
Irises are the result of crosses 
between various members of 
the Bearded and Oncocyclus sections. 
They inherit their unusual coloring 
and delicate venation from their 
Oncocyclus parents, and their hardi¬ 
ness and vigor from the Bearded an¬ 
cestors. They thrive under the same 
treatment and conditions as do 
Bearded Irises. The new Sass varieties, 
from Pumilla crosses, are especially 
notable for their beauty and vigor. If 
you enjoy colors that are rich and 
Oriental in tone and velvety in tex¬ 
ture these will give you great pleasure.
