SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED—NOT NOW 
“True to your prediction the little 
‘nubbins’ you sent me last year have proven | 
as nicely as the fine ones | had from other 
places. Will you please ship this order?” 
Oregon Mrs. C.F.C. 
It so happens that once in a while we get 
an order and all are of the smaller rhizome 
kind. Or, in order to fill it we draw on 
some older planting that has not been 
divided for a year or so. These will be 
smaller but readily come out of it. Any- 
way, ours are not irrigated, but grow up 
the tough way. You will not get one that 
is water logged to the point it is almost 
rotten when you receive it. Our plants get 
water only when we are planting. Nature 
takes care of the rest. Most all our plants 
are divided each year for next year’s orders 
but in our own landscaping plans we leave 
them alone for 3 years or so.

DANUBE WAVE—(Schreiner 1947) M. 
38”. Mr. Schreiner himself describes this 
Iris. ‘tA 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.
