Roger Nelson is collecting historic Irises for use with his
hybridizing program. He wants to try to get vigor back into some of the
strains in which that trait appears to be lacking. He is also looking for
the following: FLYING SAUCER, CROWN POINT, FULL CIRCLE, and ROCOCO.
If any of you have any of these Irises, you could let me know or write
to him directly at:
Roger Nelson
6219 Topaz St. NE
Brooks. OR. 97305
He makes a good trading partner.
