Hybridizing The Club should be very proud of the work of Iris hybridizing that 
Iris one of our members has been quietly and patiently carrying on for the 
past ten years at her farm at Eaton-town, New Jersey. Mrs. Frances 
SuNNYBROOK Cleveland now lists fifteen entirely distinct seedlings in her catalogue. 
Seedlings She is following close in the steps of Miss Grace Sturtevant and 
Mrs. Dean, both world-famed for their Iris. Her porcelain blue Iris 
Siberica '^ Madam Butterfly" $2.50 each, is a dream of beauty; tall, 
floriferous and hardy. She has just gotten out a catalogue of the 
choicest old and new varieties with excellent descriptions. If she goes 
on at this rate she will soon be out of our amateur class. The Rumson 
Club may well be proud of her work. 
Catalogues The Catalogue de Luxe of Mr. Scheepers, which is really a camou- 
flaged bulb catalogue, has given us all great pleasure. But it gives 
cause for thought. How far is this craze for luxurious perfection 
going to lead us? The prices in it are fair, therefore it cannot be said 
that it is only for the rich; and yet we must remember that the true 
test of a Catalogue is the quality of the plants. Are these beautifully 
manicured bulbs any different from those fisted by Stumpp & Walter, 
Dreer, Bobbink, Farquhar, or the old firm of Van Tubergen (E. J. 
Krug, no Broad St., N. Y.)? I think not. These catalogues are de- 
lightful and will gain many new purchasers, but the old guard of ex- 
perienced planters will stick to the firms that have served them so well 
for years and buy from the " Catalogue de Luxe " only those varieties 
not listed elsewhere. 
Bulbs That reminds me, have all of our thousands of members ordered
