| 1980 |
"Of Rabbits, Coat Hangers, and Iris
Slides". My first YB article. Although I'd already
made the transition from pollen-daubing to serious hybridizing, I didn't
feel I had anything worth reporting from the seedling patch. |
| 1980 |
"Iris Fever is Incurable". Not a real
article, but a compilation of correspondence with the then-editor -- who
was clearly desperate for material. At least it provides a glimpse
of my introduction to the arils and arilbreds. |

appearance as "Staff". |
| 1981 |

about Gene Hunt and how he got me hooked on arilbreds. |

dates to the period in which many amateurs were using rangefinders rather
than SLRs, it includes some tips useful in today's world of digital
cameras. |

preparing a program. |
| 1981 |

the C. G. White and Wm. Mohr Awards through 1980. |

Want?" Standard plea for articles. |

"Staff" again, this time writing about taking pictures in
others' gardens. |

questions received during the year. |

Hybridizing Section, written by "Staff", edited by
John Holden. Yes, I wrote all of the articles and John went over
them with the proverbial fine-tooth comb. |
| 1983 |
"Making That First
Cross". The premier of "Beginner's
Corner". |

"Staff" that wrote the followup material to the reprint of Gene
Hunt's article about ESTHER, THE QUEEN. |
| 1984 |

| 1984 |

one-woman operation. |
