My Persoual Page

I thought you might like to know what the owner of 
this garden looks like. Don’t think that I go dressed up 
like this all the time. I don’t. I look like this only when 
my wife ‘‘yanks’” me out to a bridge party. I really 
spend the most of my spare time in the Iris garden. 
Hybridizing and growing good Iris is my hobby. My 
vocation is teaching. I have been here at the State 
Teachers College teaching biology for more than twenty 
~_vears. Genetics is my hobby subject too. Iris breeding 
9s me a chance to study my hobby subject first hand. 

HOWDY FOLKS 
I have hesitated somewhat to issue this list. Already 
sre are too many Iris of mediocre quality on the 
arket. I have several of them in my garden. So have 
| uu. But I feel that the few lovely creations (out of the 
wiousands I have grown) that I offer are different from 
anything on the market and are very much worth while. 
I have no apology to make for them. I believe you will 
like them very much. 
I am issuing this (my first list) to place my own 
introductions into the hands of Iris lovers; to give 
others a chance to purchase the newer and better Ivis at 
a nominal price, and last to offer my surplus rhizomes 
of the cheaper sorts to people who want them. This 
gives me a chance to make my hobby self supporting. 
I can help you and you can help me. When quality and 
size of rhizomes are considered my prices are very 
reasonable. My garden is not a commercial garden. — 
My descriptions are true, not filled with meaning- 
less phrases. 
— I hope you will try some and be convinced of their 
real value.
