Sylvain, I had difficulty locating any information in
the AIS Bulletins that I checked about Sanford L. Babson. I did go to our U.S.
Social Security Index and found him there: Born 31 Dec 1910, died 02 Aug 2003.
Hope this helps. Une Bonne et Heureuse Année.
Francesca

I am searching information about Sanford
Babson, who lived in Visalia CA, and was a winner of D. M. with his
SHIPSHAPE. Is he always alive, and if not, where can I find obituary notes
?

I am just as infatuated with the beautiful new stuff as
the next guy,
but here is an example of an older iris that, for me,
illustrates why
certain varieties stick around in our beds while
others fade away. For
me, here in southern MO, this iris is as
consistent as the sun rising.
Blooms every year, has steady, regular,
if not spectacular increase.
Doesn't rot. Individual blooms don't stop
you in your tracks, but a nice
clump makes a very pretty, calming
statement. Not my favorite iris, but
I won't be throwing it away,
either.
