Iris Plants Replace Lawn at 39th Street Corner
J. T. Laughter of 3896 Gary Avenue, retired cabinetmaker, stops mowing and grows thousands of iris in colors at the corner of 39th Street and Gary. He waters plants sparingly since January, while also pursuing woodwork in a busy shop, contrasting with others who maintain their grounds. Nearby, wildflowers like phlox and buttercups complement the landscape. A brief note recalls Goshen Connecticut dairy cooperative history cited by Encyclopaedia Britannica.
