THE ORCHID - IRIS OF PALESTINE 
The Famed ONCOCYCLUS IRIS 
Exotic, fascinating and extremely rare are these orchid-like 
Iris from the Holy Land. To our knowledge, they are not to be 
found in any other American catalog. Instead of the familiar 
linear beard, ‘‘Oncos’’ have strange broad bands of decorative 
hairs. They are not only charming in themselves, but they rep- 
resent the essential, unusual element in the very popular new 
race of hybrids, including such outstanding novelties as LADY 
MOHR and last year’s fabulous DYKE’S MEDAL winner, EL- 
MOHR. 
We consider it of the utmost importance to retain most of 
our limited stock of all three of these rarities for hybridizing, 
and what few rhizomes are to be released this year will be re- 
served for those whose orders reach us first. Early fall delivery 
is preferable. These Iris need lime in the soil, and good drainage 
is a prime requisite. In the West they are well adapted to a 
sunny, unwatered spot in your garden, and can be left the year 
around. In regions of summer rainfall, lift rhizomes after leaves 
have died down, store in dry peat moss, and replant and mulch in 
late fall. 
THE REGELIAS 
And the REGELIOCYCLUS HYBRIDS 
Closely related to the Oncocyclus are these spritely Iris of the 
Regelia section of the genus, and their marvelous hybrids with 
the Oncocyclus species, known as the Regeliocyclus Hybrids. 
While they have somewhat the same requirements as the 
“Oncos’’, they are of easier culture and not as exacting in their 
requirements. The Regelias have the peculiar characteristic of 
having a beard on both the standards and the falls. We have a 
fair stock of IRIS HOOGIANA, but can release only very lim- 
ited quantities of the others. Delivery in early fall. 
IRIS HOOGIANA. ‘Perhaps the most aristocratic of all Iris’’, 
according to the famous English Iris authority, the late W. R. 
Dykes. Flowers satiny, varying from pale lilac to Oxford blue, 
offset by a bright orange-yellow beard. 
Each $2.50, 3 for $7.00; 12 for $25.00 
IRIS KOROLKOWI. If you are looking for a very unusual Iris, 
here it is. Strange elongated flowers, with conical standards 
like a mountain peak, and falls like a waterfall. Color creamy- 
pink, with maroon veins and an unusual lavender beard. Stock 
exceedingly scarce. $10.00 
IRIS STOLONIFERA. Another stunning Iris of elongated form, 
but with both standards and falls frilled and waved. Color an 
We are propagating for later release: Iris gatesii, |. lortetii, 
and |. auranitica. Are you interested in any of these? 
IRIS SUSIANA. Enchanting and wondrous is this immigrant 
from half-way around the world. Flowers very large, globular, 
silvery, richly veined and dotted blackish purple. Floriferous. A 
basic essential for many Iris breeders. Very rare. $15.00 
APHRODITE (or SULPHIDE). A hybrid of two Oncocyclus spe- 
cies, Iris gatesii and I. lortetii, introduced by the Dutch firm of 
C. G. van Tubergen. One of the most beautiful of all Iris. Rare. 
Only small rhizomes available. $10.00 
ONCOCYCLUS HYBRIDS. An amazing array of variable types 
resulting from complex crosses of various pure Oncocyclus 
species. Entrancing in themselves, and infinitely valuable to 
hybridizers. Flowers vary from cream and greenish white through 
lilac, buff, crimson, maroon, and purple to almost black. Usually 
large, heavily and delightfully veined or dotted. No two just 
alike and no separate named forms yet available. Rhizomes 
naturally small. Blooming size $12.00; Smaller rhizomes $10.00 
OF TURKESTAN 
indescribable blend of purplish rose and buff, set off by an 
electric blue beard. $3.50, 3 for $10.00 
HEBE. A much-admired Regeliocyclus hybrid. Flowers with a 
pearly background heavily veined with purple, and with a bright 
purple signal patch. $3.00 
HERMIONE. An exceptional Regeliocyclus hybrid possessing 
much of the appearance of an ‘’Onco’’, but of a more rugged 
constitution. Standards rich red-violet, falls contrasting, with 
white ground netted and peppered with bright purple. $5.00 
LUNA. The choicest of all Regeliocyclus hybrids, this immense 
breath-taking flower captivates one with its deep red-violet 
veins entrancingly etched on a smooth creamy lavender back- 
ground. Rich solash of purplish black plush in center of each 
fall. A very reliable seed-bearer and fine for hybridizing. Pollen 
green. Only a very few can be released this year. $15.00 
PSYCHE. A Regeliocyclus hybrid that has inherited the size and 
markings of its ‘‘Onco’’ parent. White with violet veins and 
brown blotch. While they last— $10.00
