Hello again folks, The editorial deadline for the April 2010 issue is
fast-approaching. February 15 is the due date for columns and articles
for the upcoming issue. Your assistance and contributions are greatly
appreciated! In all likelihood, you’ll have your *new*
January issue in a few weeks. Please take a look at a section called “In
Your Backyard”. This is a great opportunity for any of our
AIS members (and non-AIS members too!) to contribute little pieces about “what’s
goin’ on” in your garden. What varieties grew well this
season? What turned out to be your favorite cultivar? Did you grow
a new species and have tremendous success? Did a few must-haves become
must-composts? Tell us your garden news! Consider this your
invitation for the April issue and beyond! Many thanks to Alex and Kitty Stanton, Anita Moran, and
Barbara Null for their contributions to the January issue! Here's the redux: 1) Send to editor@irises.org your short (100-250
words) report about what's growing on in your neighborhood (like that
gardenesque humor?) 2) Send along a photo of
yourself or of your garden (must be publishable quality, 300 dpi resolution,
and a JPEG or TIFF) Editorially yours, --Kelly Horticulturally, Kelly D. Norris Farm Manager, Rainbow Iris Farm Editor, Bulletin of the American Iris Society Bedford & Ames, IA Zone 4b/5a Read my blog at: http://www.kellydnorris.com |
