Re: Response From Dave Niswonger to Paul Black Letter

I disagree with the proposal to combine the Dwarf Iris Society and the  
Median Iris Society. The Median Iris Society, being larger and encompassing 
more  classes of irises, would overwhelm the Dwarf Iris class. The prevailing  
sentiment in most classes of irises is "bigger is better." Dwarf irises are  
supposed to be small and making them bigger removes them from the Dwarf 
iris  class. The majority of Median iris people favor the combination, but the  
majority of Dwarf iris people are against it. We want to preserve our 
dainty  wildflowers.

5.   Dwarf Iris Section.  The combining of the Dwarf and Median Iris 
sections  has been discussed for some time.  At this time a majority of people  
involved with these sections agree that they should be combined.  Without  
going into a lot of discussion, I think it is time that there be a  
recommendation to combine the two sections and that work begin to accomplish  that.
