CULTURE: ONCO and REGELIA BRED IRIS require about the 
same conditions as the foregoing but as some are not quite as vig- 
orous a little extra attention 1s sometimes needed, Perfect drainage, 
full sun and a good rich soil, preferably on the alkaline side, wll

BALROUDOR Each .40 
Olive buff marked violet blue. 14 inches. ; 
BEAUTY SPOT (Marx 1947) Each 1.50 
Large flowers of distinctive color. Glowing plum purple. 
Unique form something like the regelia species. H.M., A.1.S. 
1949. 8 inches. 
SUSIANA Each 1.50 
The grayish black Mourning Iris and the only oncocyclus spe- 
cies worth attempting to grow for the average gardener. We 
have grown most of the onco species and despite their un- 
earthly beauty do not recommend them for general use. Their 
requirements have never been satisfied in cultivation and 
subsequently the results have proved most disappointing. 
Susiana is the only possible exception as reports indicate that 
it has been successfully cultivated and even increased in some 
sections of the country. The Mourning Iris is an immense 
globular flower strangely beautiful though somber. Ground 
color is silvery gray completely dotted and veined blackish 
purple. Large black signal patch. Most striking as a cut 
flower and used for this purpose by florists in metropolitan 
Europe. 
TEUCROS Each 1.00 
Large flowers of pearly blue veined dark purple. 18 inches. 
THESEUS Each 1.50 
New strong growing and free flowering variety of great beauty.
