Re: Everett Long and Long's Garden Boulder, CO

Howie,

Cathy Gates gave presentations a couple of times to our club in Colorado Springs. I remember that the gardens did not start out with iris. I have been to Long's Gardens, and she still has a lot of old pictures and other memorabilia from when they also sold seeds. I would think that Cathy could supply the information this intern is looking for.

Howie,

 

Catherne Long Gates (Everette's daughter) wrote most of the article on their history in Supplement One of 100 Years Bold! on pages 74-76.  Do people read or just look at the pretty pictures?

Hello Mr. Dash, 

My name is Grace Galvan. I am a social media intern this fall with History Colorado. One of my responsibilities for the internship is to research and write an original article about Colorado history. I have chosen to do my article on Long's Garden in Boulder, and am focusing on the drought resistant irises propagated by the Long Family. 

The reason I am reaching out to you, and AIS is to see if you have any historical information about Long's Garden. I have read several old Denver Post newspaper articles about Everett Long, and his work with irises. At least one article mentioned Everett showing irises with AIS. I'm specifically looking for information about his works "Iris Old and New" and "Iris Aristocrats". 

Any information you have or AIS has about Long's irises or his involvement with AIS will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you so much for your time, 

Grace Galvan
