Oncocyclus lrises 
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 thev 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.

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.

Regelia-cyclus Hybrids TUAL SIZE 
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 York, 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. The color is 
deep rich crimson, veined and peppered over the entire flower, so that the creamy

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
