Dear Patrick: I tried to send a message privately, but the machine refused
to accept the Email addres at the top of your letter. I have spent much of
50 years trying to get resistance to rot into my hybrids., This was partly
because I started off in Canada, (Ontario, southern), but also because I
have always been interested in the rebloomers. Here it is necessary,
especially in the fall, when pregnant p[lants are hit by frost and
freezing. My irises are now handled by Friendship Gardens, Joan and Ken
Roberts, 341 Schwartz Rd., Gettysburg, PA 17325. Will try to answer a
personal from you. Lloyd Zurbrigg Z88Keys@mindspring.com
