Regelia-cyclus Hybrids 
T HESE very fine hybrids are the result of crosses between the Regelia and Oncocyclus Species, and are 
among the most beautiful of the Iris family. They are brilliant in color, prominently veined and striking 
in appearance. In the latitude of New York, I recommend growing them in cold frames, because, while 
the rhizomes are entirely hardy to zero weather, the plants are benefited by light winter protection, as they 
begin growing very early and the tops may be somewhat injured by late frosts. They can, of course, be given 
the necessary protection by putting a sash over them, with some dry leaves underneath. They flower during May 
in the latitude of New York (a month earlier in the South). 
Artemis —28 in. One of the darkest and richest colored 
Iris in cultivation. The color is deep rich crimson, 
veined and peppered over the entire flower, so that 
the creamy white ground just barely shows through. 
A large flower of perfect shape. 1.50 
Asporina —Perfectly shaped flowers of uniform ruby-red. 
A new variety just imported from Holland, where it

attractive shade of reddish-brown, shaded bronze; 
F-—bronze, veined brown. 1.00 
Clytemnestra —A marvelously rich dark-colored variety, 
and perhaps the finest of this group. The standards 
and styles are a uniform shade of violet-purple. In 
the centre of the falls is an intense, velvety, blackish- 
purple spot, that blends into a plush-like beard of 
exactly the same color. This spot radiates out into 
brilliant veining of the same color over a clear white 
ground . 2.50

a deeper shade; falls veined and dotted reddish- 
brown on a creamy-grey ground; style reddish-brown-

red flowers with a steel-blue beard. Handsome. 1.50 
Luna —20 in. This is one of the most handsome of this 
group in the light extreme, as Artemis is in the dark 
extreme. In Luna the white ground predominates and 
the widely spaced red purple veins stand out in 
strong contrast over the entire flower. See color 
illustration at right. 1.50 
Nemesis —32 in. Similar to Hermione, but darker, due to 
the veining being closer. Has the elongated form of 
Korolkowi. An excellent new variety. 1.50

shaped flowers of Bishop's purple, veined madder- 
violet, with the haft veined seal brown. The falls are 
especially rich and velvety. 1.50
