More bloom on Violet Harmony, to be enjoyed. Worthy recipient 
of the Memorial Cup. 
And Mary Randall, of course. Tip Top A.M. winner of 1953. 
It will be quite some time before one may pass Truly Yours without 
lingering. 
Morning Bright I’d overlooked, but have it this year. 
I’m hoping for such bloom on the Tompkins red, No. 50-96, as seen 
in the J. R. Harrison garden. . 
Do not have Gussie (it was sold out last year) but we’re trying Remem- 
ber Me and Twenty Grand. The lace edge, again, as admired on Party 
Dress and others. Couldn’t mention this lace edge without reference to the 
newest by Dr. Loomis! Ultama Thule. An Onco bred with the edge,—on 
falls, standards, and styles. A stunner! 
Chinese White did not bloom for us last year, but increased well and 
we should see it this season. 
Also, White Peacock. And Butterfly Blue. 
And a seedling I selected in the garden of David Hall. 
Was intrigued by a glimpse of Trifari, before taking off for Boston. 
And Dark Melody. Will have time for a real look at these, and others, in 
this at-home season. 
Our Regional meeting will be in Walla Walla. No end sorry that we 
cannot attend. Also regret that we didn’t go that way last year, as we talked 
of doing. 
Had to send regrets to Northern California, as well. The theme of their 
annual show being Color Carnival, we were invited to be the guests of Mr. 
and Mrs. Stuart in Sacramento, and see this fine show. 
Since we must forego all this, hope we will have the best-ever bloom, 
here. And the same to all Iris gardens, everywhere.
