FAIRYLAND FROM DISTANT LANDS—POGON IRIS 
Page 37 
Pogon Iris 
(Juno, Oncocyclus, Regelia, Regeliocyclus, & Reticulata) 

Of all the types of iris We have ever 
grown, none are so rare or so beautiful as 
those found below. Natives of Palestine and 
the Asia Minor Section, they have now be- 
come available for the first time since the 
war. 
Orchid-like, freakish colored, and very 
scarce they are easy to grow if our cultural 
directions are followed. They must be given 
the very best willl drained, driest location 
and are planted very late in the fall. Hence 
our shipments are not made until November 
or December so that they will not make too 
much growth and be frozen. 
AS we do not have sufficient stock on 
some of these sorts, additional roots will be 
imported direct from abroad. w Marked 
items, limited stock and not available as 
free premiums. 
When cut in bud these flowers unfold 
beautifully in water. For something differ- 
ent try these.
