The Hardy of Turkestan 
These, Too, Are ARILS, But Very Different From Oncos and Oncogelias 
ORIGIN: While botanically very close to the Oncos, and requiring much the same culture, Regelias are of very different 
appearance. In place of the magnificence of the Oncos, we have here characters of elegance and refinement+that admirably 
fit these flowers for distinctive flower arrange ments, novel bouquets and simply stunning corsages. Unlike any other Iris, 
Regelias have beards on BOTH standards and falls. 
HYBRIDIZING: A tempting field for new hybridizers is to try crossing various Regelias with Susiana, Nigricans, and 
other Oncos. Such hybridizing may easily be pioneering and exploratory. for many highly promising combinations have 
never been tried. My Manual (pages 36 and 37) gives various additional suggestions. The time to start is NOW. 
BLOOMING TIME: Starts about 2 weeks before Tall Bearded; ends with midseason Tall Bearded. 
NATIVE HABITATS: Turkestan and the western slopes of the lofty Himalayas. 
CULTURE, HARDINESS, SHIPPING and PLANTING: General information given for ARILS on page 4 is applicable. 
But as these originate at higher elevations and in more northern latitudes than the Oncos, they are less exacting, and in 
some sections require no special care.

distinct from each other. All have strange elongated flowers with conical standards. Korolkowi has its

wilds. Outstanding for their remarkable decorative beards. Try crosses aimed to transfer 
these unique beards to other types of Iris. See ‘‘Decorative Beards” in my Manual, page 23.

My Customers’ Experiences With ARILS 
“1 am much interested in Arils. I want to tell you that I had 100% luck with my first 
experience with Hoogiana and Parthenope in this 7,200 foot altitude—and I and several 
others are most entustastic.’’ Mrs. G. J. Jacoby, Laramie, Wyoming. 
*T still have Charon, Korolkowi and Hoogiana that I bought from you four years ago. 
I’m learning how to treat them in summer now and have good success.” Ernest Jubb, 
Fowlerville, Michigan.
