FROM FLORIDA 
I have been in your section of the country and think it beautiful. I brought home 
some Louisiana irises. We got them below New Orleans in a lagoon. I had no idea what 
they were when we got them(some 15 years ago) supposing they were Oriental or Si- 
berian that had escaped some ruined plantation down Chalmette region.

FROM HONDURAS 
Two years ago I got plants of iris foliosa and iris fulva from a friend in Costa Rica 
and they have done beautifully here. Apparently this climate suits the southern U. S. 
species. I am wondering how many varieties—how many colors—of Louisiana Irises you 
can supply? I would like to get as many as possible. 
Wee.

FROM FLORIDA 
. Thank you very sincerely for the collection of Louisiana Irises which you recently 
donated the garden. They came though in good shape. I hope they will thrive well. It is 
by such cooperation as yours that the garden has been able to develop during the trying 
years of the depression and the war. 
With sincere appreciation we are. 
VERY SINCERELY YOURS, 
MEAD BOTANICAL GARDENS.

RAINBOW TREASURE 
I have found the treasure 
That lies at the Rainbow’s end; 
Wealth beyond computing 
Is mine to give or lend. 
Opals of an April dawn, 
Gold of a shimmering noon, 
Amethysts of the sunset, 
Pearls with the glow of the moon. 
Would you like to share it? 
There’s more than enough for all 
In my Iris Garden 
Against a grey stone wall.
