Ys af, Chien, 
Last summer I sent a collection of iris to a Mr. Eames 
in Tsining, Shantung. In September he wrote me that 
the plants had arrived in good condition and that he 
hoped for bloom in the spring of 1942. 
Now I look at the forest of buds springing up about me 
and I think only of those iris in Shantung. Will they 
bloom there this spring? If Mr. Eames is not there to 
see them (as I hope he is not) who will care to look at 
them?

Here at home we still may hoe our gardens and admire 
our flowers. The weather has given us one of those 
springs gardeners dream of. Let us make the most of our 
many flowers. 
May 15th or 20th usually marks the height of the iris 
season here. All of you who can come to the garden are 
cordially invited here then.
