GATESIIT (Oncocyclus) Each 8.50 
This fabulous iris of extreme rarity and gigantic 
size is seldom offered for sale. W. R. Dykes in his 
monumental work, THE GENUS IRIS, claimed 
that, excepting the Japanese Iris, this oncocyclus 
was larger than any other of the genus. The gen-

are pale olive gray vemed purple. The bronze 
beard is broad and sparse and embraces a small 
purple signal. About 15 inches high.

lustrous soft blue self of smoothest finish. Very 
easy. 24 inches.

gold dust. Of such glittering brilliance many visi- 
tors can hardly believe their eyes upon first see- 
ing one. 
KOROLKOWI VIOLACEA Each 1.50

ONCO CYCLUS, REGELIAS 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. The 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 blooming. If you live 
in a locality with hot dry summers during which time the soil remains abso- 
lutely dry until the fall rains, these plants may be left undisturbed. Other- 
wise they may be lifted after the foliage withers, usually about July 1, and 
stored in a dry place until September when they should be planted. As these 
plants make new growth during the winter months some protection 1s neces- 
sary in the coldest sections of the country. 
SHIPMENT: From August Ist to November Ist. 
LUNA Each 2.00 
A beautiful variety of large size and most pleasing form. Both standards 
and falls are pearly white veined dark purple with large black signal patch. 
18 inches. 
SIRONA Each 1.00 
A little jewel of unbelievable brilliance and beauty. Standards are bright 
red purple, falls are white flushed pink and sharply veined deepest red 
violet. Conspicuous black signal patch. The small falls are round and ex- 
tremely flaring. 12 inches. 
SUSIANA (Oncocyclus) Each 2.50 
The grayish black Mourning Iris and the only oncocyclus species worth at- 
tempting to grow for the average gardener. 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 beau- 
tiful 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.
