THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 

REGELIO-CYCLUS HYBRIDS—Continued 
BEATRIX (Van T.). A handsome variety with falls heavily veined 
and dotted lavender on a grey ground, with a dark velvet 
blotch and beard; standards suffused with pale lavender and 
veined a deeper shade. Styles solid lavender. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
CHARON (Van T.), 15 inches. One of the most beautiful and dis- 
tinctive of this section. The standards are an attractive shade 
of reddish brown, shaded bronze; falls bronze veined cae " 
.00 eac 
CLYTEMNESTRA (Van T.). A marvelously rich dark colored variety, 
with flowers of good size and perfect form. The standards and 
styles are a uniform shade of violet purple. In the centre of 
the falls is an intense velvety blackish purple blotch that 
blends into a plush-like beard of exactly the same color. This 
blotch radiates out into brilliant veining of the same color over 
a clear white ground. The color effect is exquisite. It is in 
my opinion the finest of the Regelio-cyclus group, and one of 
the richest and finest of all Irises. $10.00 each 
FLECTA. A fine flower with lavender standards, veined a deeper 
shade; falls veined and dotted reddish brown on a creamy grey 
ground; styles reddish brown mahogany. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
HEBE (Van T.). Similar to Beatrix, but with darker falls. It is also 
a vigorous variety and one of the most rapid to multiply. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00 
HECATE (Van T., 1907), 15 inches. Large, well-shaped flowers, ex- 
ceedingly handsome, richly colored and beautifully veined. The 
silky standards are of a uniform smoky rose color, covered with 
a network of darker veins; falls rich mahogany veining over a 
cream ground. Solid rich velvety mahogany spot in centre; 
blackish beard. Styles dull velvety rose and of typically Suziana 
type. A most exquisite flower. - $5.00 each 
HERA (Van T.). A most distinct variety with bright ruby red stand- 
ards, beautifully veined; falls bronze, suffused blue. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
LUNA (Van T.). This is one of the most handsome of the Regelio- 
cyclus group, in the light extreme, as the white ground pre- 
dominates and the widely spaced brilliant red purple veins 
stand out in the strongest contrast over the entire flower. At 
the other extreme of light and dark varieties we find Artemis 
and Clytemnestra, two of. the darkest. Luna is a fine large 
flower, of excellent form and very free flowering. It was given 
an Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 
land. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00 
OSIRIS (Van T.), 20 inches. A most attractive flower of fine form and 
substance. The standards are handsomely ruffled and so much 
flushed lilac purple that the underlying cream ground becomes 
entirely secondary; falls heavily veined rich purple over a white 
ground with a solid blackish purple centre. Styles and crests 
rich solid reddish purple, being the only part of the flower that 
is not covered with a network of veins. $5.00 each
