ONCOCYCLUS AND REGELIA IRIS 
These remarkable and little-known Irises are perfectly hardy in our 
coldest winter weather. They should be allowed to die down after they 
have finished flowering, for they require a period of rest. This is accom- 
plished by withholding all moisture throughout the entire summer. 
Given this treatment, they flower profusely. Or they may be dug up in 
July and stored in dry peat or dry sand for the summer and replanted in 
October. The best soil is a combination of ordinary garden soil with a 
liberal percentage of peat and some bonemeal for fertilizer. The extra 
care given them is worth while because these lovely flowers are the equal 
of orchids in beauty.
