The deer have grazed my lower bed of daylilies, but they don't bother the 
ones near the house.

A neighbor, wanting a closer look at the irises, told me that Sevin (?) 
sprinkled on the plants will taste bad but not hurt the deer.  He states that after 
an attempt or two they will quit sampling the treated plant. 

I've not had much contact with the product.  Can anyone relate their 
experiences?

The iris world has another convert! The gentleman had never seen irises in 
bloom before and he fell in love!  He enjoyed identifying the unique colors, one 
at a time, as he stood at the edge of the bed.  Edith Wolford finished the 
sale with one lone (but perfect) stalk, still living in the 17 inch pot that has 
been her home since the fall of 1998.  Only place she will live for me.
