Iris Supreme as
National Floral
Exhibition Opens
Evpr" kind of spring blooming
flower or shrub is on display at
the coliseum, but iris reigns su
preme over them all. Hers is the
feature performance. for the
twelfth annual National Iris show,
held vesterday and today, is one
of the" largest exhibits ever held in
the middlewest.
The aristocrats of the iris fam
ily, the pink, white, and red blends,
are there in all their glory, as are
their humbler relatives the pale
yellows and lavenders.
Because they grow where other
plants refuse to take a foothold
and because they require very lit
tle care, the iris has come to be a
favorite with gardeners. They
transform the unsightly back of
the garage, which father simply
did not have time to fix, into a
spot of beauty and they lend a
touch of color to the edge of the
driveway, where the jounger gen
eration wore the grass off in their
first attempts at driving.
Although iris will grow under
adverse conditions, it responds rap
idlv to good care and treatment.
; Many people have spent a great
deal of time cultivating new va
rieties and improving the old.
Most notsfcle in this group are
Hans and Jacob Sass who have
spent thirty years of their lives
cultivating iris and have become
America's, if not the world's great
est hydribizers of iris. The two
brothers have their iris gardens on
their farms near Washington and
Elkhorn, Neb., and have sent 1,000
or more of their finest blooms to
the show.
The flower show was scheduled
for next week but because of the
hot weather, flowers bloomed early
this year and the exhibit had to be
moved up a week.

Cunningham Sweeps Field.
Glenn Cunningham, the "Kansas
Flyer," left a field of the best
distance men the Big Six has pro
duced in recent years behind him
to win first places in the half mile,
mile and two mile events. The
guant-faced, lean record-holder
easily outran his opponents in the
mile, but was pressed hard by Guse
of Iowa State in the half and by
Lochiner of Oklahoma in the two
mile event, being forced to sprint
to win. He was a disappointment
to the crowd that jammed the East
Stadium for the annual classic, for
his times were very slow, 1:58 in
the half; 4:23.3 for the mile and
10:2.1 in the two mile, far from
any records. He was kept from
records by the slowness of the field
that accompanied him, and by the
fact that he has several all-important
meetings with Bill Bonthroa
of Princeton in the offing and was
taking no chances on burning him
self out.
Hall Outstanding.
Ed Hall turned in three of the
best peiformances of the day,
breezing down the 100 yard .'peed
way in 9.7 seconds, and whizzing
around the curve in 21.4 for a first

11 1-2 inches for the broad jump.

busiest man on the field, be
