“Iris grows only north of the equa-

cousin, the gladiolus, grows both
above and below the equator.” Iris
planting* of any site are still a
novelty in Texas, it was said, and
Day-lily culture )s still more rare,
which makes these plant* an inter-

only in the pansy. . As ypt, it was

eted and perhaps propagating a new
variety of this desirable flower. The
speaker here stated that he had ap-
proximately ten thousand Iris in his
gardens but will lose rtiany because
he was not prepared for unduly wet
weather which caused many to rot
in low land.
I “Day Lillies came into notice about
twenty years ago,” Mr. Benson said.
They came originally from the tem-
perate regions of Asia, being brought [
to this country in colonial times by
trading vessels, since they abound in
the New England states. Recently a
new variety, the only true pink, was
found in China.
These lillies, it was stated, like the
bearded iris, require rich soil, mois-
ture and partial shade, but very little
cultivation. They are practically free
from insects and disease and give at
least one month of generous bloom,
el though a bloom lasts only a day.
Benson advised gardners to
chosen variety of either of
tbe usual 1,000, Mra. Knox said. and. Mary Helen Nicolett.

“It is the custom,” Mrs. Knox add-

than 200 dozen.” Any one who will
contribute cookies and any girl inter-
ested in attending the dance is uaked
to contact Mrs. Knox at her residence
before 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. Jeffries is a speaker of ex-
ceptional charm, and her previous
-work with national committees made
it a rare privilege to hear such a
speaker. She held her audience en-

rations and the possibilities which
may be derived from small gardens.
