A Report on Our Seed: 
Jackson, Mississippi 
| thought you might be interested in a 
report on the HIGO IRISES I’ve grown 
from seed purchased from you early in 
1951. Tkere were 100 seeds, and these 
grew into about 99 plants, none of which 
was lost in transplanting. The past sum- 
mer, about 17 months from the time | 
planted the seeds, | had some of the most 
keautiful blooms | have ever seen. Only 
a few plants failed to bloom, and of those 
that bloomed only two or three were of 
poor quality. A'l the others were breath- 
taking in their size and coloring. Some 
singles showed up—not too many—many 
were double, and a few were triplets. 
Many were sort of tailored, with quite 
smooth petals and edges, others were 
waved, crimped or fluted. Colors ranged 
from as near pink as any iris yet grown, 
on through velvety reds to deep wines. 
Ther2 were sky blues, other blues on 
through to the blackest blue I’ve ever seen 
in a flower. Many blossoms were heavily 
veined, some were marbled, others were 
selfs, others were lightly krushed at the 
outer edges. Without spreading the petals, 
the smallest was all of five inches across, 
with the largest being nearly 10 inches. 
I’ve had many visitors to see Irises ‘‘The 
like they had never seen before.’
