A DEATH WAVE. 



The past winter a death wave swept 

 over a large section of Kansas and Ne- 

 braska. It killed the winter wheat and 

 injured the alfalfa badly. In raising 

 iris for 25 years I never had any 

 trouble with winterkilling, but half of 

 our iris was killed. The Foster hybrids 

 were the first to go, Lohengrin, Mith- 

 ras, Nibelugen and others of that class 

 went under. Some of our own new 

 creations of great beauty succumbed. 

 The winter was very cold and the 

 ground was very dry. All iris that 

 happened to be mulched got through 

 all right, except the gi-eat Jlesopota- 

 mia, which went under notwithstand- 

 ing generous protection. 



A raised bed of iris, and good mulch- 

 ing will take them through. My new 

 foliage iris with the most charming, 

 long, deep green, pendulous leaves, 

 came through all right. The foliage is 

 the richest I ever saw. I got 90 from 

 one 3-year-oId plant and every one in 

 full vigor, and glad to see the spring 

 come. The seed pods are like a weav- 

 er's shuttle in shape. I have saved 

 some seed well fertilized by the bees 

 and hope for good results. This iris is 

 certainly unique — a class by itself. I 

 have great hopes for it.
