“Last year I bought one of your Beginners’ Collections listed on 
page 12, for $2.00, When I opened the box, I u>as surprised to see 
such large rhizomes of fairly recent irises for ten cents each. 
“I planted the roots, and they grew excellently, considering the 
care I gave them. 
“A few weeks ago, when my irises started to grow again, I was 
happy to see four plants with five stalks, five with four stalks, and 
the rest with three, two, and two with one stalk. 1 never hoped that 
any would bloom this year, but today 1 looked at them closely and 
found seven blooming stalks coming up, one plant having two. 
“I would order more roots this year, if my planting space wasn’t 
so limited.’’
