EDITOR'S NOTE: In 1947 the variety Mimosa Gold was introduced through a commercial dealer and the stock was grown in Nashville. Most of the one hundred accumulated rhizomes bloomed, leaving only the side shoots for shipping purposes. At the end of the blooming season these side-shoots are relatively undeveloped, a condition which would be remedied by early fall. Since most customers wish their purchases shipped at the close of the blooming season, Mimosa Gold presented the problem of either canceling all orders and waiting another year when the same problem might come up again, or shipping the undeveloped but healthy rhizomes and risking the customer's dissatisfaction. Most purchasers want large rhizomes because they think that large rhizomes bloom better the first year. This may or may not be true. Certain varieties naturally have small rhizomes. [Geddes Douglas, “Our Members Write . . .” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 109 (April 1948): 72-73.]
