NORTH CAROLINAN SORELY 
DISAPPOINTED; DIDN’‘T LIKE 
SUBSTITUTES SENT 
If space permitted I would like to print 
her tirade and my answer thereto. They are 
both hot. “The order was intended only as 
a trial, so I’m very glad we folks in the 
N. C. Iris Society have a sample of your 
way of doing business. Never again will 
you receive an order from me and I'll try 
to let others know what to expect if they do 
business with you.” She could have returned 
them and gotten prompt refund plus post- 
age. She was very liberal in ordering. “If 
the price is different you may adjust in 
number of rhizomes.” Anyone belonging to 
the Iris Society should know that an order 
dated August 18th is at least 2% months 
late. We are sorry. GET YOUR ORDERS 
IN EARLY, FOLKS, WHETHER YOU 
BUY FROM US OR” SOME OTHER

DANUBE WAVE—(Schreiner 1947) M. 
38”. Mr. Schreiner himself describes this 
Iris. ‘“‘A lovely harmony of color and 
style. This rich mid-blue arises from the 
cross of Anitra and Narain and combines 
the splendid breeding of these two dis- 
tinct families of blues most effectively. A 
self, a rich shade of remarkable marine- 
blue. Its outstanding quality is in its 
depth of color. Very thrifty with excep- 
tionally well substanced and _ poised 
blooms. It is an Iris the fancier seeking 
a color note will prize. We have had 
some marvelously tall well - branched 
spikes.’ We predict great popularity.

“Several of the rhizomes you sent me 
last year are now developing buds and | 
am eagerly awaiting their full development. 
The rhizomes you sent me were far supe- 
rior in every way to those received from 
other nurseries. They were so clean and 
healthy, and | am enclosing check for an- 
other order.”

Our iris is washed clean so that we can 
fully inspect them, dried out overnight, and 
packed the next day in dry excelsior in ven- 
tilated new corrugated boxes. They will 
reach you in good shape.
