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 bene¬ 
fited 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). Cultural 
directions accompany all shipments. 
Hermione—32 in. Very handsome and beautifully 
marked; very similar to Susiana but with somewhat 
more deep violet red in it. Reminds one of an im¬ 
proved Susiana, with the ruggedness of the Tall 
Bearded Iris. 1.00 
Isolda—Mahogany, veined old-gold. Extra fine. GIVEN 
AN AWARD OF MERIT IN HOLLAND. 1.75 
Lucia—RECEIVED AN AWARD IN HOLLAND. Uniform 
ruby-red flowers with a steel-blue beard. Hand¬ 
some . 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 . 1.00 
Luna 
Andromache—GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT IN

veins. Very fine. 3.50 
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.

attractive shade of reddish-brown, shaded bronze;

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

ground . 1.50

the veining being closer. Has the elongated form of 
Korolkowi. An excellent new variety. 1.00

hue . 2.50
