Washington June 7. An iris show by the American iris society displayed about six thousand blossoms in vivid colors. Growers showcased self colored, striped, and bi colored varieties, tracing ancestry to two base plants. Members, including John C. Wister, exhibited hundreds of varieties in Germantown and other gardens. Irises bloom nine months a year in diverse climates, with top types from Southeastern Europe and the Adriatic shores. The public gardens in Washington DC feature mass plantings along the Capitol grounds and White House grounds, while English and French breeders push higher prices for rare seedlings. The iris is called the poor man’s orchid and remains a focal point of amateur gardening nationwide.
