Hello all,
We still laugh about Dana's 'literal' interpretation for the rules.  He was a 
'green horn' in those days.  Today, if you order TB's from him you will get 
about 2-3 good rhizomes per request.  If you order Sib's or other nonbearded, 
you get 3-5+ rhizomes (or whatever will ensure a good healthy start).  I 
don't think his feet have really touched the ground YET from receiving news 
of his upcoming award!  Wish all of you could come visit in our gardens 
during bloom season!  The beauty is wonderful.
Sylvia of Dana and Sylvia Borglum
