Ves aud That 
No doubt some one could write a romantic tale of our “travels” in 54, 
but will spare you the details! and say only that we are happy to be in this 
Canby district, and like our new location. 
From the garden there is a fine view of Mt. Hood. And our neighbors 
grow everything from acres of asparagus to pansies. Including dahlias, 
lilies, roses, chrysanthemums and gladiolus. We are across the way from 
a large planting of dahlias, and the color display all summer is gorgeous. 
On the road to the Morgan-Beattie garden, we pass the Ellis pansy 
and primrose planting. Another block or two, and it’s Mrs. Oliver’s “Pansy 
Basket.” The Gladiolus Show in Canby is famous. Then add to all this 
the fact that we are only a few minutes drive from Daffodil Haven, and 
you can pardon our enthusiasm. 
Pm writing this on a bright day in February, by a window overlooking 
a vista of fine old trees and picturesque farm buildings. And in the garden, 
the Iris are several inches high, husky-looking, and showing every indica- 
tion of excellent increase. Weather permitting, there will be a good dis- 
play, and hope you will be along this way. 
Our garden is located only a short distance off Ferry Road. Coming 
from Canby, (out North Holly Street) turn left at the Canby Ferry sign. 
Straight ahead on this road, then around three short turns, and on to the 
second place on the right. 
The soil here is excellent, and may be worked during any month of 
the year, which more than revolutionizes our work—allowing more time 
for the hybridizing, or just enjoying the view. 
The Region 13 meeting will be held in Oregon this season, and we are 
told that everyone is grateful that our planting is now so accessible. Happy 
to oblige!
