I meant that the plants did not grow well, rotting a problem, and also prone
to leaf spotting. The baby plants do not look as healthy as violets or
whites. I have used LADY FRIEND and continue to do so, though its seedlings
are rather plain in form. It grows rather well for me. I was in an iris
garden, and the hostess offered me anything that she had in her garden. I
asked for a really good-growing red. She had nothing she could recommend. I
have a bitone red seedling, that is quite good in form and good but slow in
growth. It would strike the visitor as a blended variegata. Because of this
I did not use it in the few red crosses that I make. I would love to hear
from anyone who can recommend good -growing, good-looking red talls. Lloyd
