Gardener's Wife Urges Husbands to Help Create Flower Gardens
A persuasive note from The Gardener's Wife praises photographers and famed Iris hybridizers like the late Jacob Sass of Omaha, urging women to enlist their husbands in spading the yard this spring. It advises planting lilies, tulips, peonies, oriental poppies, perennials, and summer annuals, with Shasta daisies, gypsophila, columbine, sweet williams, and pinks as ideal seed-grown fillers. Early Iris and chrysanthemums are encouraged, with a nudge that the spring effort may yield a permanent garden by fall.
