bloomed into a garden beautiful y

flower lovers. For three years his
Idahlas won first prize at the National
Flower show.
To make possible his work, Tyrone
for a number of years wrote poetic
letters to people "on the outside" ap-
pealing for bulbs and seeds and slips
for his prison garden. Among flower
lovers his letters bec;tne famous.
