ONCOBREDS 
lor those who like the unusual this entire group of iris will be of special interest. They are the result of crossing 
the oncocyclus (natives of Iran), with some of our own bearded iris, The rare beauty of the oncocyclus has been pre- 
served to a marked degree, and increased vigor and hardiness have been secured from these crossings. 
All of them will grow well in California and in mild climates, and many have proven absolutely hardy in cold 
sections. They require good drainage, full sun, and a light protective covering in cold climates,
