Lets Garden For Victory

N these days of restricted living there is no better way to lift

our spirits and keep cool heads than by going out in the garden
and working in the soil. “We must live normally’, they say. What
could be a more normal way of life than having a garden with both
food and flowers to grace our every day living? Improving our
surroundings will not only make us feel happier but will make
everyone who passes by a little gayer. Yes, garden for Victory,
not only to keep our stomachs full but to keep our spirits high.

We gardeners know there isn’t any friendship greater than
among flower growers—comparing notes, discussing new ideas—
there is never a lack of interesting conversation nor real honest
enthusiasm. And you who are old timers in the gardening game:
It’s up to you to spread your enthusiasm and encourage your
friends and neighbors in gardening as you never have before.
There will be no rationing of flowers! So let’s put on our overalls
and straw hats and go out and dig!

Despite rationing of tires and gas we hope that a number of
you will be able to visit our Iris field during the flowering season
which usually comes the last week in May or first week in June,
depending on the weather. We have many new varieties and lots
of lovely new seedlings to show you. Our field is at the west end
of Market Street and our home at 419 West Market Street.

New Lonstield Introductions
For 1949

(Our 1942 introductions are not to be considered in computing the 10 per cent
quantity discount mentioned on page 4.)

Cook Originations

Action Front (Cook No. 189, 1942). A coppery red Iris that appears
distinct and worthy by reason of its fine color, and because of its general
good qualities, both in flower and plant. In addition to the near-red color,
the flowers possess substance, shape, size, in excellent combination. A med-
ium red, slightly bicolor, the broad, smooth standards and falls alike con-
tributing to the rich color effect. The plant is hardy and dependable in
performance, the stems freely produced, strong and erect. One of the
best all-around Irises in the red color class we have grown or seen.

Detail: S. conic-domed, Ocher Red; F. flaring Garnet Brown; crests, Yel-
low Ocher to Buckthorn Brown; beard, Cadmium Yellow. Flowers, 5 ‘ins.
x 5 ins. Stem, 8 feet, branched from middle up, bearing nine flowers.
Midseason. $10.00

Indiana Night (Cook No. 13839, 1942). Deep velvety purple, the rich-
est and most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from Sable.
Under test for three years, Indiana Night has shown hardly a fault; seen in
close comparison with numerous other darks, both named varieties and
seedlings, it has been uniformly admired and praised by lovers of deep
color in Irises. The stem is tall and well branched; the flower traits—
size, shape, substance, texture—are all of the best. Plant of strong
growth and good blooming habit.

Detail: S. domed, between Hyacinth Violet and Mulberry Purple; F. semi-
flaring, between Mulberry Purple and Fluorite Violet; beards bluish,
tipped Lemon Chrome. Flowers 5% ins. high x 5 ins. wide; stems 38 ins.
tall, branched near middle, bearing 8 flowers. Midseason. $10.00

Pink Reflection (Cook No. 5737, 1942). A chamois skin pink blend of
unique quality and individuality. A light to medium tint of pink with under-
lay of creamy buff. A beautiful soft blend that is liked by all who have seen
it. Crisp, clean-cut flowers of good size and substance, attractive flaring
form, and exquisite coloring. Late, coming into flower a week after other
pink varieties. Pink Reflection, however, far from being dulled by the
competition of earlier varieties in this color group, appears the finer and
more distinct for it.

BLUFFTON, INDIANA 3

Detail: S. arching, cupped Hydrangea Pink; F. flaring Hydrangea Pink
to Vinaceous; Beard, Lemon Chrome. Flowers, 4 ins. high x 5 ins. wide;
stem 36 ins. tall, branched from middle up, bearing 7 flowers. Plant of
sturdy habit, stems freely produced. Late. $10.00

Redward (Cook No. 3939, 1942). An approach to crimson from the purple
side. Large, shapely flowers of substance and brilliant color, a product
of continued selection toward red in bearded Iris. Early visitors have
missed this seedling in our trial rows, as it does not come into bloom
until near midseason, but it has invariably attracted those coming late
as a distinct and striking advance in color. The large flowers are of good
spreading form, the broad standards held together nicely at the top, the
velvety falls flaring widely.

Detail: S. domed, between Indian Lake and Dahlia Carmine; F. flaring,
Burnt Lake. Fowers 5 ins. high, 6 ins. wide; stem, 32 ins. tall, branched

above middle. Plant of strong growth, free and dependable in bloom.
Midseason to late. $10.00

One each of the above four Cook originations: Action Front, Indiana Night,
Pink Reflection and Redward for $32.50.

graceful.

Brief Directions for Planting and Caring for Bearded Iris

Sweet, well-drained soil, free of roots of other plants, preferably with some lime,
and all the sunshine possible. No fresh manure, no tree leaves; clean, shallow cultiva-
tion and no litter or mulch about the plants from early spring until the ground freezes
in the fall. A light winter mulch of corn fodder or straw, brought up about the plants,
rather than thrown on them, is beneficial but is not necessary except for plants recently
planted and not well established. Bonemeal is a satisfactory fertilizer. Well rotted
manure may be used if well spaded under, so there is no humus in contact with the
rhizomes. Wood ashes may be used freely.

A plant ready for planting consists of-2 essential parts—the leaves and the rhizome
(often mistakenly called bulb). Moderate drying does not injure the leaves or rhizomes.
If the soil is dry at planting time, fill the trench or hole with water and after it has
soaked into the ground, spread the roots over the moist surface and draw soil over them,
tramping it down firmly and covering with loose soil. The rhizome should be just below
or at the surface and should be held firmly in place if the soil has been properly packed
over the roots.

Rarely, due to high temperatures and humidity, slimy bacterial decay will attack
the leaves and rhizomes of plants in transit. When such plants are received wipe off all
the moist and decayed parts with a rag or ball of paper or excelsior, and dust the base
of the leaves and the rhizome thoroughly with sulphur, powdered gypsum or plaster
of paris. Plant at once with the upper surface of the rhizome exposed to sun and air.
Keep plant under observation to see disease is checked. If the disease progresses, treat
as directed for rhizome rot.

Rhizome Rot. The name is descriptive. Give a gentle pull to adjacent leaves to see
if the disease has spread beyond the area you have detected. Scrape out all disease and
softened tissue and pack the cavity with powdered gypsum. Scatter gypsum on the
ground about the diseased area until the surface is white. Examine the plant from day
to day to see if the disease is checked.

Mustard Seed Fungus. Work gypsum into the soil to the depth of half an inch and
scatter on the surface until it is white.

Root Borer. (1) Clean the garden thoroughly of all litter and old Iris leaves as early
in the spring as possible. Burn this litter. (2) After vigorous leaf growth is established
in the spring watch for evidence of borer attacks and cut off the leaves below the point
where the borer is working; drop the leaves in a tight bottomed basket or bucket and
burn them, or bury them in a well-packed grave. (3) Dig plants immediately after
flowering, trim leaves down to a 3-6 inch fan, burn or bury all leaves and discarded
bits of rhizomes. When trimming plants look carefully for borers. Lay plants on cool
(earthen or cement) floor and keep moist (cover with moist burlaps, old carpet or
straw) for about 48 hours. Examine again for borers and replant.

A “self” is an Iris with standards and falls the same color.
A “bicolor” is an Iris with standards lighter color than the falls.

A “neglecta” is a purple bicolor.

A “plicata” is an Iris with petals sanded, veined or otherwise marked with

a color darker than the ground color.

A “variegata” is an Iris with standards of yellow, gold or orange and
falls heavily veined a darker color or completely of a darker color. :
An “amoena” is an Iris with white standards and colored falls, sometimes

veined or margined white.

Names of colors in capitals are those of Ridgeway’s Color Standards and

Nomenclature. It is unfortunate that copies of this work are limited but until
we have a more widely distributed standard the conscientious describer can
do no better than follow the only definite and reliable standard available. The
Ridgeway names in many instances are color names in common usage and in
most cases they can be fairly interpreted even by those not acquainted with
the color charts.
