Re: Terrible iris rhizomes

Hi Arnold-
       I have never ordered from Riverview so cannot comment.  I'm fully 
aware of the climatic conditions in both S. Dakota and Idaho....I was 
bred/born/raised in central Montana...and well remember the winter of 52 Deg. 
below zero, and the summer we planted 200 apple trees, carried water every 
day to each, and 2 survived the parched, cracked earth.
       I am not adverse to smaller rhizomes...but pieces the size of a dried 
pea???  And, three I ordered were out of stock...for which I received no 
refund; 3 `gifts' were included (I think I paid for them anyway...???)  My 
order was over $100.  I wrote to Fox's before I said anything to anyone - and 
received no reply.  At the top of the invoice it says "We are trying to 
reduce our inventory as we are thinking of moving soon".
       I try to live by "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", 
and if I feel something is a `throw-away' item I certainly wouldn't accept 
payment for it.  I wish them the best of luck; unfortunately for me, they 
list many older iris in which I was interested.
       When you speak of "West Coast iris", I am not included, as I am in the 
High Desert of Oregon, East of the Cascades...where growing just about 
anything other than Juniper trees, Juniper shrubs and sage brush is an 
environmental challenge.
