Just because you are not knowledgeable does not make you stupid. There
are many books on irises. Two of the best are "The World Of Irises"
available through the AIS (American Iris Society) Storefront ($27.00).
Contact Nancy Pocklington at:
a*@accunet.net
The other book is the recent one by Bill Shear "The Gardener's Iris
Book" also available from the AIS Storefront($17.00).
Send her an email, credit card information, address and phone number and
she will send it forthwith.
