This and That

Many thanks for all You've done

To make the Iris-growing Fun!

For ’58, and time Before.

And, we hope, for some Years, more!

At this writing, mid-February, the Iris are growing at a great rate. With no setbacks, it should be an early season. While one is always anxious for Spring, it is a little early for flowering trees and other plants to be in full bloom!

Among the newer Iris varieties, we expect bloom on Galilee, Glitter- ing Amber, Allaglo, Seamaster, Tahola, Joan Crawford, Patience, Sweet- heart’s Folly, Fleeta, Gay Princess, Yesteryear, Snow Goddess, Pretty Gay, Mission Starlite, Lipstick, as well as some red seedlings from Greig Lap- ham, Mr. Cassebeer’s No. 712, and a number of interesting things from Mr. Tompkins’ garden.

There are, as you may know, four Iris plantings in Canby. At Daffo- dil Haven (Mitsch), Old Colony Garden (Beattie), Fleur de Lis, and Irisnoll. Four seedling plots, too!

Color slides are welcome these winter evenings. The Lauck collection from Ohio was appreciated as usual. And some from Orville Fay, includ- ing Daylilies. Among the latter, we are looking forward to bloom on the new variety, Frances Fay. Last summer, we were very pleased with Coral Mist, The Kingdom, Magic Dawn, Signal Light, Picture, and others.

Slides from Mrs. Noyd’s garden also were enjoyed, and we shall be happy to see her Angela Mia in Canby, this Spring.

Plants from three year’s Iris seeding bloomed at once, in 757. Quite a number of these will be on review this year, in addition to the new lot. Following, a few excerpts from the 757 notebook.

The whites and yellows from tangerine-bearded pink breeding proving most satisfactory. Yellows have extra substance and sun-resistance. The whites, large, clean, ruffled, and with that desirable quality called charm. Red-bearded whites, effective. One which stood out even among these, a wide apricot beard on clean white. The pink-bearded whites, exquisite.

Whether pure white; with pink flush in standards, or pink standards with flaring, ruffled white falls.

Pink and coral beards on the pink Iris, a pleasing variation from the tangerine.

More “green” beards. Not all of these on Rehobeth seedlings. A seedling of Rehobeth, having wide horizontal falls, leather-like substance, with dark green beard on cream-green ground will be introduced in the near future. Rehobeth has given blues with blue beards, green beards on cream or blue, and tangerine bearded blues.

Gorgeous Jorje is still unique among orange blends, being different from any others we have. Some of the deepest orange-apricots appeared among the ’57 seedlings from Frances Kent crosses, as well as from Canby Sunset.

A seedling of Grand Teton, outstanding plicata. Very large, ruffled, and heavily marked. Another plicata, from Sunset Sail, registered Far Gold. The latter, having deep, solidly colored, unmarked standards.

The new bicolors, fascinating. Dawn Crest being among the latest to be admired. Wide, deep pink standards; wide, flaring yellow falls. And Bridal Sweet, with delicate pink standards above wide, ruffled white falls. Pink beard.

The tangerine bearded pink plicata, most elusive. The parentage of some of the newest seedlings would require lines of printing. And while I’m covering this “forty-acre field” some one may come up with a first generation cross and have the answer!

Good luck to you,

FRED

1958 Hemeracallis Sntraductions

TULIP CUP. Tulip-like it is. Clear, clean yellow self, with very wide petals in tubular form, flaring outward at the end. Flower held straight up on the stem. A clump in full bloom, a delight. $15.00

ETERNAL MORN. (1957) Tall. Large, beautifully formed clear, soft yellow. Does not burn. $17.50

CORAL QUEEN. (1957) The ’57 seedling plot proved beyond doubt that this Daylily is an extraordinary parent. Wide-petaled ruffled “carrot-red” (Ridgway) blend. 30”. $20.00

Seventy-five percent bloom on the Daylily seedlings in 57 kept us busy most of the summer. The more bloom, the more enthusiasm. Now that the seed is sprouting—well, perhaps we were too enthusiastic. This crop will require quite a plot, come planting time. But wonderful to anti- cipate, in 759.

We haven’t been too adept at describing Iris, but the Daylilies are even more difficult. The new pinks, “cantaloupe” blends, watermelon pinks and near whites are fascinating. The first lavenders to appear among the seedlings bloomed last year. Nearest to white came in this group. Faint lavender hue on the face, the reverse of petals white.

Blends were lovely, and in a bewildering array of color. Perhaps the brilliant cantaloupe-pink blends are the most luscious, rivaling the very best of the new Iris. Width of sepals as well as petals, remarkable. Edges ruffled, and near “lace.” In fact, the general quality (and great variety) of the ’57 seedlings was most encouraging.

A seedling of Ringlets, duplicate of the parent in cantaloupe-pink, was exquisite. Yes, there were all sizes, forms, and colors.
