roots - Historic Iris Preservation Society

2010 HIPS Rhizome Sale!
See page 13 for how to order! pages 14-17
for the huge list of cultivars offered this year!
and pages 18-19 for photos of SOME of the
offerings. Thank you, donors, for really coming
forward! and thanks to the Rhizome Sale team
for doing this huge project!
Ordering deadline is June 15, 2010
As always, Mike Unser will have the Rhizome
Sale list up on HIPS' website shortly after this
issue of Ro o t s is mailed out. He'll have links to
photos of many of the iris offered.
www.hips-roots.com
As I've said many times, if you don't have
a computer and internet access at home, it
is WELL worth a trip to the library, to see
the extensive photos and information on the
website! Most librarians are quite happy to help
you find www.hips-roots.com, even if you've
never sat in front of a computer; and once you're
at the site, it's very easy to get around and look
at everything.
The list on the website will also be updated
with any last-minute additions -- the list here is
current as of April 1st.
The photos of 98 of the iris offered, on pages
18-19, are a first time endeavor for me. There
is NO correlation between an iris being pictured
there, and how many rhizomes are available!
Also, given my penchant for the earlier historics,
my photos are slanted towards older iris (send
me photos of more recent ones for next year!).
We're working on having a list of
descriptions up on the website, as was done the
other year. -- Gesine
