Yeah Helen would call each year before her catalog came out and send me the first one so I'd have a record of the new ones she was introducing for me. She would also call when the box arrived from me with the new hybrids.
Sadly we never met, although I knew Ed Skrocki and Bill Nixon and of course Polly Bishop and Patty Drown, who were neighbors.
My page proofs just arrived for my beardless iris book (192 pages!!) so I have my work cut out for the next few days. good news is that the proofs are very clean so it's very small corrections!
OK back to the proofing....
