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 Pogocyclus hybrids, including such outstanding novelties 
as LADY MOHR and the recent fabulous DYKES MEDAL winner, 
ELMORR. 
No other type of Iris will give you such an ‘‘out-of-this- 
world’ effect as do the ‘‘Oncos’’—a weird beauty with irresistible 
fascination. Shipped in summer or fall with full cultural direc- 
tions. Rhizomes naturally rather small, bulb-like. 
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. Quite hardy, but may 
need some protection in coldest regions. Very rare. 20 chro- 
mosomes. $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
ONCOCYCLUS HYBRIDS. An amazing array of variable types 
resulting from complex crosses of various pure Oncocyclus spe- 
cies. Entrancing in themselves, and infinitely valuable to hy- 
bridizers. Flowers vary from cream and gréenish 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, so this 
low price. $2.50; 3 for $6.50; 12 for $25.00 
ONCOCYCLUS SPECIAL—One Susiana and 3 Onco Hybrids for $10.00. 
THE REGELIAS OF TURKESTAN 
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 Regeliocycius Hybrids. The Regelias have the peculiar characteristic of having a beard on both 
_.the standards and the falls. Shipped in summer or fall with full cultural directions. Rhizomes naturally small, some runner-like. 
Regelias 
REDVEIN IRIS—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. 22 chromosomes. $5.00 
RUNNER IRIS—lIris stolonifera. Another stunning Iris of 
elongated form, but with both standards and falls frilled and 
waved. Color an indescribable blend of purplish rose and buff, 
set off by an electric blue beard. 44 chromosomes. 
$1.75; 3 for $4.00 
REDBEARD IRIS—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 Ox- 
ford blue, offset by a bright reddish-yellow beard. 44 chromo- 
somes. $1.25; 3 for $3.25; 12 for $12.00 
REGELIA SPECIAL 
Oniacvesch of all-sifor.c 4. oe ww ass $7.00 
Regeliocyclus Hybrids 
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 splash 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. $5.00 
*xASPORINA. A new hybrid imported this year from Europe. 
Perfectly formed flowers in rich, glowing ruby-red, borne on tall 
erect stems. $4.00 
HERMIONE. An exceptional Regeliocyclus hybrid posséssing 
much of the app2arance of an ‘’Onco’’, but of a more rugged con- 
stitution. Standards rich red-violet, falls contrasting, with 
white ground nztted and peppered with bright purple. $3.50 
HEBE. A much-admired Regeliocyclus hybrid. Flowers with a 
pearly background heavily veined with purple, and with a bright 
purple signal patch. $2.50 
REGELIOCYCLUS SPECIAL 
One of each of all 4 for......2..7.. $12.50
