Aint Sue's Purple Flopper
Miss Jones Bydefence Pink
Earlier, this summer there was a discussion of using tractor tires
as flower beds. Well, in the latest issue of BIRDS AND BLOOMS, there are
pictures of old bedsteads sunk in the ground and flowers called 'quilts'
blooming within the bedstead. One is filled with ELEANOR ROOSEVELT or
CRIMSON KING. The four pictures came from widely scattered gardens in
Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota.
Had it not been for the bed of purple irises, this would have been
off topic.
Thank goodness, all of these 'flower beds' are all north of the
Mason-Dixon Line!
