VI tar is sharing her gar
KkN n den with her friends
these days. And what
- - a lot of sharing she
can do. This week and last week,
as well, her lovely Japanese iris
is blooming, and is at its best.
Neighbors and friends have
looked upon 1t in the garden,
and have come away with beau
tiful specimens In their posses
sion. There are many varieties,
with some very fine names. The
colors however, seem to mean
more to the layman than the
kinds. White. purple, several
blues, maroon and varigated
shades are blooming in pro-
fusion. The iris is not alone.
With a background of rose
spiraea and American pillar
roses will be found sweet Will
liam, ragged robin, larkspur,
Canterbury bells, madonna lilies,
and dwarf pansies. Each seems
to be trying its best to repay Mrs.
Saltar for her labor of love.
