ORESTES (O-res’-tes) VE 18” 
(Korolkowi X Stolonifera) 
Orestes was the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra and 
had two sisters—Iphigenia and Electra. The flowers are of 
a rich mahogany-red with a brown beard. It is slightly frilled 
and waved and an iridescence of purple and violet gives 
much brilliance.

VULCANUS (Vul-kan’-us) E 18” 
(Korolkowi X Stolonifera) 
Vulcanus was the god of fire and made armor for the 
Olympic gods. He was the only immorial who was both 
lame and ugly. Generally accepted as the son of Zeus and 
Hera and the husband of Aphrodite, who was usually busy 
with the affairs of love. The flower is slender and pointed 
of chocolate-brown. There is a glossy violet blotch in the 
center of the beard upon which is a blue beard.

ARTEMIS (Ar’-tem-is) VE 20” 
(Korolkowi venosa X Mariae) 
Artemis was the twin sister of Apollo. Zeus and Leto were 
their parents. Artemis, or Diana, was the goddess of the 
chase—and small wonder for her father was constantly on 
the chase much to Hera'’s (his wife) disgust. A stunning 
flower with korolkowi form. The standards and falls are an 
off white upon which is laid a heavy patterning of dark 
purple. In the falls it is concentrated into a blotch upon 
which is a black signal and black beard. Very good for 
hybrid work. 
CAMILLA (Ca-mill’-a) E 12” 
(Korolkowi X Paradoxa) 
A mortal maiden who lost her life in leading a warrior band 
against the Trojans. The standards are a deep bluish purple 
while the falls are off white with dense veinings of deep 
purple. 
CHARON (Kar’-on) VE 16” 
(Korolkowi venosa X Atropurpurea) 
Charon is of course the ‘dark boatman’ who met souls and 
ferried them across the river Styx. Here we have different 
coloring from most in this section. It is a bronzy gold-butf 
with an infusion of reddish mahogany and veins of deep- 
mahogany. Signal patch blackish red. 
CHIONE (Kee-O’-ne) E 15” 
(Parentage not recorded) 
(We really had the Librarians in a dither over this one!) 
Even though she was very beautiful her history is a bit 
obscure. Apollo figures either as her lover or her ancestor— 
but she became so conceited over her beauty that she com- 
pared it to the beauty of the goddess Artemis herself. That 
was too much for a jealous goddess and forthwith Chione 
was slain. The flower has just been released this year and 
this and the following variety has not been grown in 
America to our knowledge. The standards are white with 
soft blue veining while the falls are delicately netted grayish- 
brown. 
CLOTHO (Clo’-tho) 
(Parentage not recorded) 
Remember the Three Fates? Well, Clotho was the Spinner. 
Deep purple veins cover a lighter tone in the standards and 
the purple falls are veined with black and there is also a 
sable beard. 
DARDANUS (Dar’-dan-us) E18" 
(Korolkowi concolor X iberica) 
Dardanus was the legendary founder of the Trojan race. His 
mother was Electra—one of the Pleiades. History and myth- 
ology are a bit careless in recording such trifling matter as 
to whom his father may have been. The ground color is a 
pearly white. The standards are veined and shaded with 
bright lilac while the falls have purple veins and a blotch. 
EUNICE (Yoo’-nice) E 15” $.75 
, (Korolkowi concolor X iberica) : 
In the second Epistle of Paul to Timothy we find that Eunice 
is Timothy’s mother. In Greek it gets a different pronuncia- 
tion and means ‘happy victory’. This is a fine flower, of a 
delicate coloring. The standards are pearl-gray with soft 
violet veins and the falls are creamy-white netted with a 
delicate brownish or fawn-pink. 
HERMIONE (Her-mi’-o-ne) VE 22”

tically everybody else of her time she was descended from 
Zeus. Orestes whom you met in the previous section was 
her cousin. The flower is of creamy to pearly white with 
a flush of silver mulberry on the standards over which there 
is a purplish-black network. The falls have heavy veins and 
signal of dark maroon. Good breeder. 
HOMERUS (Ho-mehr’-us) E 18” 
(Parentage not recorded) 
Known to us as Homer who recorded Grecian mythology in 
the Iliad about 1000 years B.C. The flowers have rather an 
unusual shape with long falls. They are of a pearl-gray 
eee with violet veins and the falls have a large brown 
otch. 
ISOLDA  (I-sol’-da) E 18” 
(Korolkowi venosa X atropurpurea) 
This name comes not from the Greek but from mediaeval 
Brittony. The opera ‘Tristan and Isolda’ was written around 
the romance which also involves King Mark of Cornwall. 
This is one of the more unusual colorings in this type—over 
a mahogany groundwork is spread a network of old gold. 
TEUCROS E 18” $.75 
(Korolkowi concolor X iberica) 
This one stumped the Reference Librarians at two big Libra- 
ries. Teucer was the first king of Troy and Teucria means 
Trojan—that's as far as we got. The flower is very like 
Dardanus and since it has the same breeding it is more 
than likely a sister seedling. The standards are more on the 
pink tone however. One that is quite reliable—generally! 
THESEUS (Thee’-sus) EM 20” $1.50 
(Parentage not recorded) 
Here we are again on familiar ground for Theseus was an 
Athenian king who conquered the Amazons and one of his 
wives was their queen. (He had several—though only one 
at a time we think.) The standards are a deep violet with 
even deeper veins and the falls are of creamy-white with 
veining and a blotch of deep violet. 
VE 12” 
(Korolkowi X Sari) 
Of course Thor was a Norse god who controlled the thunder 
and had a magic hammer which he used to fling around 
rather freely. I think there was generally a bit of lightning 
also! Even though this one is short it’s quite handsome. The 
ground color is pearly-gray and the heavy veins are in dull 
purple while brilliance is given by a patch of bright purple.

THALIA M 18” 
(Korolkowi X Susiana) 
Thalia was one of the Muses—she presided over joy and 
comedy. It is a charming flower shaped as the Regelia 
Korolkowi with the coloring and veining much like the 
famous Susiana, however the colors are more vivid. The 
veins in the standards are light violet while those in the 
falls are of purplish maroon. Very popular at the recent 
Iris Show. Stock limited. 
ULYSSES E 16” 
(Parentage not recorded) 
Ulysses was the leader in the Quest of the Golden Fleece 
and it was he who dreamed up the idea of the wooden horse 
which was the cause of Troy’s downfall. This is the most 
nearly pink of this section. The standards are bright lilac- 
pink with deeper veins and the falls have veins and a 
blotch of the same color over a cream colored ground.
