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
