Yes, growing Iris at times, forsooth, may be otherwise than silken smooth. As other plans of mice and men can go awry now and then. But when it’s all reviewed, and well, there istarmorejoy than onlemtoreles L. do pelicvestiic sky would fall, had we no Iris bloom at all!

finer flower that we know, for a splendid garden “show.” Looking forward each year, to May, and Iris Season on the

way.

is and {Nal

Looking forward, for a fact. The winter has seemed even longer than usual. Due to “news,” probably—which can be as depressing as continual rainfall. One is more than ever anxious for Iris Season. January days being particularly dull, no doubt a pepper-upper was in order, and likely the “boom” served the purpose. Although from here it appeared to swing a bit wild, and miss where it might have done the most good! But not wasted—having served its turn in keeping the cor- respondence lively.

While I am not one of the oldest members, my first card is dated 1931. Through- out these years have managed to enjoy much of it, endure some of it, disagree with part of it, and take real pleasure in Iris all the way. As well as in new and old friendships. And that, undoubtedly, is reason enough for sending in a ’52 mem- bership

There are better Iris varieties, and more interesting developments year by year regardless of what may be written at times. And a considerable number of Hy- bridists all doing good work, rather than a mere half-dozen or less. Allowing this and extent of territory involved, a list of thirty-seven Honorable Mentions is not a long one. And the twelve votes required not as “easy” as might appear to the casual observer. As to a “highest” award—it might do very well in England or France. But for the entire United States and Canada, and now (since that rule also has been changed to read “introduction” rather than “origination,,’ the World at large, it is at best rather inadequate! (Like employing one brush stroke to paint a building.) One of the few things that hasn’t changed—but is the same as when the Society membership numbered one thousand or less, and the hybrid- izing in proportion.

Time and again, as in the past, varieties equally worthy will not receive a medal. Best illustrated by reviewing two of the latest “Symposiums,” one Na- tional, the other Regional. In these two lists, recent medalists placed as follows:

AIS, 1951 Region Eleven, 1951 Cherie—4th Cherie—59th Blue Rhythm—1st Blue Rhythm—1st Helen McGregor—dth Helen McGregor—23rd Ola Kala—9th Ola Kala—6th Chivalry—7th Chivalry—22nd

Other varieties not medalists:

AIS, 1951 Region Eleven, 1951 Amandine—2nd Amandine—72nd Blue Shimmer—3rd Blue Shimmer—7th Lady Mohr—6éth Lady Mohr—4th Master Charles—8th Master Charles—16th New Snow—10th New Snow—24th Cascade Splendor—11th Cascade Splendor—40th Bryce Canyon—12th Bryce Canyon—14th

Pink Cameo—13th Pink Cameo—8th

Now if you were a “beginner” making a selection, say, of five varieties from the top twelve in the first list, which also placed highest in the second list, what would you have?

FIRST—Blue Rhythm SECOND—Lady Mohr THIRD—Blue Shimmer FOURTH—Ola Kala

But to obtain a fifth, you would need to include more than the top twelve, and then you could have Pink Cameo. All of which is not conclusive either. But interesting. In that neither Lady Mohr nor Blue Shimmer received a medal.

Are you, too, getting acquainted with the Regional bulletins? Perhaps the best known to me is the Region I publication, since I have the eight issues com- plete. In the Winter, 1951 copy, you will find two comprehensive articles on breed- ing for reds and pinks, by Greig Lapham and Jamison R. Harrison, respectively.

Occasional copies of other interesting Regional papers have been received, and hope to have more of them.

Surely wish the best Iris bloom to all this year. Believe we will need it more than ever. And, as uSual, will be anticipating the first-time-here bloomers. Among them will be Pretender. Ponder, Mayan Gold and Fair Day. Some pink seedlings from Mr. Lapham. Party Dress, Song of Songs, Masked Ball, Char- maize, Tranquility, Truly Yours, and so on. And all the “older” favorites.

Iris go (as the King’s Men!)

To Hall of Fame, and back again! Bewildered, no doubt, as are we—

With all this fuss of “haw” and “gee.”

POO TOG RET

I wonder if the world is round! So many other things I’ve found, are bubbles that so easy burst—getting so I fear the worst!

Then an Iris bud appears, and away go worries, doubts and fears. For then there simply isn’t room for anything at all like gloom.

So now we've reached the happy end, and with this page will simply send, Best Wishes for your Iris border, and ready now to fill your order.
