One more question: On Henry Mitchell - a new publication entitled "Henry
Mitchell on Gardening" authors listed, Henry Mitchell & Allen Lacy - is this
new material?
Henry Mitchell mentioned a while back was an newspaper columnist, iris lover,
and garden writer. Two collections of writings by Mitchell contain many
essays on irises. One essay recounts a week of vacation taken by Mitchell, in
May, to watch his iris bloom at peak. (Wash.DC)
A second new publication, supposed to be new material is "Any Day", Indiana U
press. Any Mitchell fans?
