FROM MISSOURI 
In an old book describing the early days of New Orleans, I found not long ago 
these wild irises mentioned, yet a hundred years passed before they were re-discovered.

Your most generous shipment of iris arrived Monday, and I have had much plea- 
sure in planting them in spots where I think they should do well—all in plenty of 
woods’ dirt brought in from our woods. Thank yeu so very much.

Two of my irises bloomed in November. Evangeline on the 5th and Albino fulva on 
the 20th.

I received the order of Louisiana iris in March. The plants were in excellent condi- 
tion. We moved into Dallas and I kept them out of the ground for two weeks or longer, 
but it didn’t hurt them at all, haven’t lost a plant yet. 
Mrs. R. B. W. 
FROM COSTA RICA 
Please send list offering Louisiana Iris. Have already growing in my garden Iris 
Fulva. Also Elephantina, Giganticaerulea Alba, Chrysopoenicia and Vinicolor. Do not 
wish to duplicate these. 
Very truly,

The Louisiana irises were beautiful when they bloomed. I had two clumps of vel- 
vety thick petaled, bright blue. They had zigzag stems and were about 15 to 18 in. tall. 
Do you have more of those? You sent me one odd blue-white (very pretty) and a straw 
yellow (quite large). Would like to have more of those. 
Mrs. A. D. B.

The irises sent by you are doing fairly well. They should be well enough established 
to flower next year. 
Shortly after I received your plants I sent you a collection of our natives. Did you 
ever receive them ?

I thought you might be interestel to know that the Louisana Irises which I bought 
from you last year came through the winter very nicely, and I shall be very much inter- 
ested to see it bloom. I haven’t yet met anyone here who has grown it. Strangely enough 
and many here seem surprised that it is hardy. I am doig my best to disabuse them.

The collection which you shipped last spring is doing nicely and many have buds. 
Will bloom in about 2.weeks. Remarkable how much cold they stand here on the edge of 
Pocono Mts. I was in Louisiana in the spring of 1942, but in March. Justa little too 
early to see these plants in bloom.
