512 E. Madison St., Goshen, Ind. lhirs. Payne is just 
starting to do some hybridizing and she placed in ny 
garden a nice origination, not too outstanding, but 
visitors seem to wake to it. Mrs. Payne compares this 
new iris to Frieda Mohr, but it is darker and much 
brighter; a more intense color. Mrs. Fayne asked me
