IRISES AT NEW HAVEN. 

 The New Haven County Horticul- 

 tural Society held its Iris Show in the 

 spacious rooni.s of the New Haven 

 Public Library on Friday and Satur- 

 day, June 15th and 16th. The exhibi- 

 tion was a complete success, being; 

 visited by thousands of people. 



A great deal of interest was dis- 

 played by the public on account of the 

 prominence of the exhibitors and the 

 wonderful record which they had 

 made. Mrs. Jenkins lays claim to 

 having seven hundred varieties of Iris 

 in her collection. The collection is 

 situated on the grounds of the Connec- 

 ticut Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 of which her husband is the director. 

 Among her exhibits -were Queen of 

 May, Oriflamme, Mrs. H. Darling, Pal- 

 lida Princess Beatrice, Speciosa Dal- 

 matica. Hector, Neglecta, Aurea, Lo- 

 hengrin, Mrs. C. J. Sherwin, Kharput, 

 Iris Cypriana. and many others. In ad- 

 dition to these she has seventy seed- 

 lings, many of them very fine. 



Miss Van Name, the daughter of Ad- 

 dison Van Name, librarian emeritus 

 of Yale University also boasts of hav- 

 ing over seven hundred varieties of 

 iris in her collection. She shows two 

 pretty seedlings: "Purity," a beauti- 

 ful wliite bloom, and "Emperor," a ma- 

 jestic purple flower. 



Among the several varieties Miss 

 Van Name showed Iris tectorum, 

 Japan roof iris, violet, purple, white; 

 Iris graminea the flower of which is 

 dainty and very fragrant; Rhein Nixie, 

 a beautiful and delicate bloom, white 

 and purple; Wyndham, Iris siberica, a 

 native of Siberia, light blue, and others. 



While Mrs. Jenkins has made a 

 great success with her seedlings, Miss 

 Van Name has turned her efforts in 

 another direction. She has achieved 

 a wonderful record in hybridizing and 

 crossing of the garden species thus 

 producing a great many varieties, 

 known only by garden names. 



B. P. Coe, of the Elm City Nursery 

 Co., made a very fine exhibit. His 

 flowers were elegantly staged. There 

 were several other exhiitors who made 

 a good showing. The New Haven 

 County Horticultural Society have 

 everv reason to be proud of the suc- 

 cess "of their Iris Show of 1917.
