Iris Gets It's ColOrs
From Broken Rainbow

Preparations for the joint display
by the American Iris Society and the
Columbus lrfs Society, held in Colum-
bus. led to discussion the other day
of the origin of this beautiful flower.
Prof. A. c. Hotties. OF the department
OF horticulture at Ohio State Uni
versity. told this story.
ut was the last of the six DAYS of
creation. A rainbow was above the
earth and on this rainbow sat a
group of angels. Casting their eyes
around over the vast universe they
discovered far below them this new
world and were charmed by the
beauty of it's mountains. its trees, its
lakes and its plains.
THE earth was filed with all man.
ner OF strange animals, and yet
among them walked something SO
beautiful that even the angels mar
veled at the handiwork of God, for
they saw within the Garden of Eden,
Adam and his wife. Eve.
Marveling at the sight OF such
great beauty and wishing to share
this with other friends. they called
many Other angels to their lookout
upon the rainbow. and these angels
in turn called others, until finally the
weight was great and the rainbow
cracked. Fat they did not know that
the rainbow had cracked and SO thsy
continued to call other angels. Sud-
denly the rainbow broke into thou
sands OF pieces and fell to the earth.
Lovers OF flowers know that it was
the irj3 that received these bits of the
rainbow and that is why its colors
are D delicate and so numerous
