Ruth Pelouch....Ruth's Corner

With the daffodils gone from our gardens,

let's look forward to our bulb sales in

July and August. But first, you know

the routine, the bulbs have to be dug, cured,

cleaned and bagged. June is the month for

digging and Sara and crew will be in Michigan in

John Reed's fields. Bulbs will, also, be dug at

Helen Link's this early summer. Cleaning and

bagging of the bulbs will begin at the IDS picnic

at Mary Milberger's home in July. So come to

the picnic for the delicious food, good

conversation and bulb prep.

The result of all this work is money for our

scholarship fund. I recently received a letter

from Kathy Wyss, Development Officer with the

department of Biology at Indiana University.

The IU scholarship was awarded to Joseph

Richardville, a senior studying the evolution of

sunflowers. Shortly after receiving the IU letter,

I was delighted to receive a letter from Joseph

thanking IDS for the scholarship money. The

money will pay his summer school tuition to

continue his research on sunflowers and enable

picnic or at another time this year.

See you in July!!

Info from Sara Kinne: Frank Nyikos has written a book, Hybridizing

A B C's, that is a must for interested gardeners that have been intimidated by the idea of making crosses and growing out their own seeds. It is a wonderful guide that uses hostas, daylilies, and daffodils as his plant examples You may order it through Amazon, or directly from Frank. (He has offered to autograph books bought directly from him!) Frank Nyikos, Walnut Grove Nursery, 8374 E State Rd 45,Unionville, IN 47468, 812-360-6242 Ed. Note: I looked it up on Amazon...you have to practically type the whole title before it pops up and it costs in the low $30's Buy it directly from Frank!!

DIGS!! Always need more hands helping with this project. The starting time is 7:30-8am..Sara wants to be in the field by 8 am. Bring your own sack lunch, water, insect repellant, and gloves and if you have a spade, that can't hurt...she has a few already. Contact Sara if you have any more questions. NOTE! She has a new e-mail:

sara8899kinne@Gmail.com.

Results from the 2011 IDS DAFFODIL SHOW There were 267 entries by 18 exhibitors with

category, Suzy Wert with her W1011 ( 9W-GYR);

Mini White category, Trena Trusty with her Pink

China (2W-P); Historic Award category, Sue

Luken with her Cantabile (9W-6YR, 1932);
