decided that so varieties OF oriental
poppies were sufficient. and then
went over the available varieties
and selected IS as worthy OF propa-
CATION. We need more similarly ag-
gressive organizations.
But to get back to the home gar
dener's problem. How can he 60
about selecting a few of the better
varieties for his garden? The best
place to see them growing is in a
neighbor's garden. If there is a
collector nearby where a large num-
Der of varieties may be observed
growing under comparable condi-
tions, that is an even better place
to make a selection. Local flower
shows are often a satisfactory guide,
although they do not aid one in ap-
praising such points as vigor and
hardness.
Occasionally one sees an article
in which some one has attempted
to evaluate the different varieties
We need more such articles. Lists
are needed for each of the lead
ing garden flowers for each COM
munity. The preparation of such
lists should be most worthwhile
project for local garden clubs. Then,
when a member wished to secure
additional varieties, the desired in
formation az to what is good, de-
pendable and worth growing in the
garden would be available.
Experienced gardeners will tell
you that San Francisco is one of
the really worthwhile iris; that
City of Haarlem, Pride of HARLEM,
and Louis XIV-three of the older
tulip varieties-are hard to beat in
any show when well grown; that
the best roses in the Potomac Rose
Societys Fall Rose Show in recent
years have been, for the most part,
old standbys like Madam Butterfly,
President Hoover and Etoile de Hol-
land, and that some of the Oldest
and least expensive of the daylilies
are still the best. So why not have
good varieties in your garden?
In closing I wish to make one
point clear. The older varieties are
not necessarily the least desirable.
Princess Beatrice is still one of the
best of the mauve-colored iris. Fes-
tiva Maxima rates among the best
of the peonies and Kaiserin Au-
guste Viktoria is tops among the
white hybrid tea roses. These va
rieties are without exception among
the oldest and can still hold their
heads up and look the show judge
in the eye.
Be "choosy" Select the better
varieties, whether old or new.
