ARTEMIS 
WE YSSES LUNA 
REGELIA AND REGELIO-CYCLUS IRIS 
We offer this group separately because the cultural requirements differ from other iris. If you are looking for something 
different in bearded iris we are confident any in this list will delight you. These hybrids are the result of crosses between 
the regelia and oncocyclus species. All possess great beauty and attract all who see them. 
CULTURE: Iris in this group must be given a rest after bloom- 
ing. If you live in a locality with hot dry summers during which 
lime the soil remains absolutely dry until the fall rains, these 
plants may be left undisturbed. Otherwise they may be lifted 
after the foliage withers, usually about July 1, and stored in a 
dry place until September w then they should be replanted. As 
these plants make new growth during the winter months some 
protection is necessary in the coldest sections of the country.

Fair Oaks, California 
I have written so many times thanking you for plants it seems like 
writing to an old friend. Our order of dwarf Iris plus Korolkowi vio- 
lacea arrived. Our thanks for your lovely Moon Gleam—a most gen- 
erous extra. 
As we have come to expect, they were good big divisions and well 
backed—even our State Agricultural inspection can’t do them any 
damage!
