THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 


ONCOCYCLUS IRIS 
This remarkable species from Asia Minor is perfectly hardy to 
our coldest winter weather, but requires the protection of a cold frame, 
so that they can be covered and allowed to die down after they have 
finished flowering, at which time they require a period of rest. This 
is accomplished by withholding all moisture throughout the entire 
summer by means of the protection of a cold frame. Given this treat- 
ment, they flower profusely in my gardens. Where only a few are 
grown, the same results may be accomplished by potting them, bury- 
ing the pots in the fall, where they are left until after flowering 
season; then the pots may be lifted and put away to dry. 

SUSIANA 
SUSIANA, 24 inches. I usually have hundreds of flowers of this 
variety in bloom in a cold frame, with gigantic flowers. The 
standards are almost round, more than three inches wide and 
slightly longer. Unique in both coloring and shape and quite 
handsome. Entirely different from any other Iris. The stand- 
ards and falls are covered with an intricate veining and speck- 
ling of deep dark blackish brown over a grayish white ground. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00
