Species and Unusual Tj)pes o f Iris 
Authentic Bearded Species 
Collecting true species of the bearded iris is an extremely inter¬ 
esting diversion. We are in contact with other collectors both 
here and abroad and would welcome correspondence from others 
on this unusual phase of iris. We offer the following species: 
ALBERTI: early flowering, branched, blue with hazel haft; 
from Russian Turkestan.$2.00 
ALBERTI YELLOW: yellow form of Alberti. 1.00 
ARENARIA: the small yellow “sand iris” from Hungary... .50 
CENGIALTI: dainty, floriferous, self lavender, from Dal- 
matica. 50 
PUMILLA: a diminutive species whose flowers are without 
true stems, being borne on elongated ovaries. Colors: 
blue, yellow, and purple. From central Europe near 
Vienna. We know of no-one else in America offering 
true stock of this species.50 
PALLIDA FOLIOSA VARIEGATA: a pallida with varie¬ 
gated foliage.25 
TROJANA: the ancestor of many of our fine named iris. Pos¬ 
sesses nicely-branched stems. We offer a select form of 
this species from Troy.75 
VARIEGATA: yellow standards and chestnut-colored falls; 
wiry stems; native of Austria, Croatia, and Bulgaria. . . .50

species. Easy to grow, they are most distinctive and interesting.

green; very striking. 25

Regelio- Qcl US 
The Regelio Cyclus are a strain of iris obtained from crossing 
the Regelio and the Oncocyclus species. The flowers are strik¬ 
ingly veined often a soft violet-purple or violet-brown on white. 
These hybrids are as easy to grow as the Regelios and carry the 
colorings of the Oncocyclus into a class which is more easily 
managed.

pearly-gray with violet veins; a finely shaped flower. . $1.00

violet-black blotch; very vigorous and large. 1.50

white ground; a paradoxa hybrid. 1.00 
Oncocyclus and Regelio Iris 
These are most unusual iris with special cultural requirements. 
Being semi-desert plants they desire dry summers. For full cul¬ 
tural directions we refer you to books on iris, or to Farmer’s 
Bulletin 1406, obtainable from the U. S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture, at Washington, D. C. We would not be without these 
beautiful, exotic species. 
BARNUMAE: a beautiful oncocyclus of rounded form; 
claret color; waxy texture.$2.00 
LUPINDA: dusky purple; veined; easy to grow. 1.00 
SYLPHIDE: striking hybrid of Gatesix x Lorteti; a beau¬ 
tiful soft creamy pink, veined and stippled. 7-50 
URMIENSIS: A real waxy yellow, rare. 3-00 
Regelios 
Easier to grow than the above; not as globular formed. 
HOOGIANA: one of the loveliest: clear satiny blue.$ .50

STOLONIFERA: purplish-rose shot with electric blue and

We have several varieties of Korolkowi and Stolonifera which 
we can furnish, and will be glad to answer any inquiries. 
Table Iris 
A new type of iris. The ideal is a small flower with wiry stems 
and slender foliage, making them especially suitable for table dec¬ 
oration, although they are also fine for the front of the border. 
Some are not fully up to this standard but merely steps toward 
the ideal. We offer them, not as the ultimate, but as something 
of interest to be tried.
