Regelia Irises 
These very beautiful species 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 the Tall Bearded Irises. 
Oncocyclus Irises 
These remarkable Irises are perfectly hardy to our coldest northern 
winters, but they require the protection of a cold frame for best results. 
This is not to protect them from winter weather, but from summer 
rains after they have finished flowering, at which time they require a 
period of rest. Moisture during this rest period is likely to destroy them. 
Therefore after they have finished flowering they should be covered and 
allowed to become dormant. Or they can be lifted after they have 
finished flowering, packed in dry sand, sawdust or peat for the summer 
and replanted in October. Aside from providing this rest period they 
are of comparatively easy culture. Full directions accompany all 
shipments. 
Bismarckiana —Very rare and unusual. Blackish-purple dotted on 
creamy ground. Tall stems and large flowers. Extra fine. 2.00 
Lorteti —One of the rarest and most sought after of all exotic Irises. 
A specimen for the connoisseur. Delicate silvery pink, dotted and 
veined soft gray. The magnificence of Iris Lorteti when well grown 
has never been approached by any other Iris. A well grown flower 
will be a pink globe, nine inches in diameter, the entire flower being 
beautifully veined a deeper pink. 3.50 
Susiana —24 in. See color illustration. Unique in form and color and quite handsome. 
Intricate veining and speckling of deep dark blackish-brown almost completely cover¬ 
ing a grayish-white ground. Nothing surpasses Iris Susiana as a most unusual and 
artistic table decoration. 1.00 
Hoogiana —30 in. A native of Turkestan, notable for a wonderful smoothness of texture. 
Color very soft uniform sky-blue, without any markings.50 
Korolkowi —22 in. Another very interesting Species from Turkestan, in every respect 
the opposite of Hoogiana. Elongated flowers of creamy-white with intense blackish- 
maroon veins, giving a brown-and-white-striped effect. 1.00 
Stolonifera —30 in. An exceedingly handsome Iris of elongated form, with an indescrib¬ 
able blending of fawn, chocolate-brown, and clear electric blue. 1.00 
Regelia-cyclus Hybrids 
FROM VIRGINIA 
“The Iris Rhizomes are the nicest 
have received from any one and I thank 
you." 
FROM MISSSOURI 
“The Iris I received from you last 
Fall had fine blooms this Spring and I 
was very much pleased with them." 
These 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 \ ork, I recom¬ 
mend 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 frost. They can, of course, 
be given the necessary protection by putting a sash over them, or even a box, 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. 1 he color is 
deep rich crimson, veined and peppered over the entire flower, so that the creamy 
white ground just barely shows through. I >00 
Hermione —32 in. Very handsome and beautifully marked; very similar to Susiana 
illustrated above, but with somewhat more deepi violet-red in it. Reminds one of an 
improved “Susiana” but with the ruggedness of a Tall Bearded Iris.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 deep brilliant red-purple veins stand out in strong contrast over the 
entire flower. It is very much more handsome than the illustration, which is about 
one-quarter size. 1 
Nemesis —32 in. Similar to Hermione, but darker, due to the veining being closer. Has 
the unique elongated form of Korolkowi. An excellent new variety and profuse 
bloomer. . 50 
Saturn —24 in. Large flowers of good form and extremely free flowering. The coloi is 
uniform throughout, being a deep violet over a gray ground, with an unusual deep 
bronze beard. Petals somewhat pointed.35
