HUNDRED kinds of Iris!
On their 12 acres in Johntown. just
across from Rivercrest High school,
the fantasy of color and profusion of
blogsm creates a scene that cannot be
rivaled by the most formal garden.
The Weisingers. who have just
recently celebrated their fiftieth wed-
ding anniversary, have lived in the
comfortable home for many years,
and over those yeas their Iris gardens
have grown.
People now come from Arkansas.
Lousiana, all over Texas and from
near and far to see the Iris and buy
them
Eva brought her first Iris from Hill
County, and then joined the Bogata
Garden Club She and garden club
members began to swap different
varieties of the pleasant plant, and as
her interest grew, she began to order
kinds of Iris from the mail order
houses that specialize in such things
The names read like a fairy tale.

According to reports filed by
Highway Patrolman Jim Trammell,

a collision with a Chevrolet pickup

the Weisingers practice happily
Besides the gorgeous Iris, the cou-

miniature gladiola which blaze a
startling fuchia color; a wide varie-
