Dear Ellen: My niece who lives near Granby, P.Q. claims that ENGLISH
COTTAGE is her best-growing iris, giving her lots of rebloom and lots of
increase. We visited my brother Earl in South River Ontario, (near North
Bay), and on arrival at his home on July1, found IMMORTALITY in bloom and
TRUMPET CONCERTO showing color. do hope you are not getting more ice
today; we are getting a lot more rain. Lloyd Zurbrigg in Durham NC
