A second Iris which Mrs. McKee has produced is called "Katherine" and is deep pink with salmon infusion. Mrs. McKee, whose gar dens surround her home in the north edge of Jacksonville, is the second grower in the Southern Oregon' area to hy bridize. The other grower is Mrs. Jesse Jones of Medford. Hybridizing is a highly speci alized business, and good re sults are sometimes -long awaited, according to Mrs. McKee. Parent blooms are carefully selected, and line breeding is followed as in livestock raising. First Step It seems that introducing a new iris is only the first step in the long journey of the iris to reach superiority. Next year Mrs. McKee expects to send these two iris to a com mercial gardens near Salem for display. They will be "guested," for criticism by ac credited judges and comments from viewers. There is only one accredited judge in Southern Oregon, Mrs. Mar jory Roarch of Grants Pass. Iris must receive several med als before receiving the Dykes award, the grand final one showing superiority, Mrs. Mc Kee e'xplains. Mrs. McKee also grows oncoculus, (oncos) the original orchid-iris of Palestine, which do not hydridize easily with regular iris. . Associated with Mrs. Mc Kee is her daughter, Mrs. Bill Smith, whose interests also have branched ito the nursery business, and the two women expect to open their -.nursery July 1, handling dwarf type plants, rock plants and peren nials. - Mrs. McKee has a large rockery at the front of her home with varied plants, in cluding those from Oregon Mountain near Cave Junction and other mountain tops of Oregon and California. There are ferns - from the Trinity Alps and from the coast, and many from local woods, which she says do well in captivity as long as they have old rot ted wood to grow in. .She speaks with particular pride of "Lewisia," a pink flowered rock plant from Whiskey- Peak, named for Lewis and Clark. She has this growing in strawberry bar rels, and says that she keeps the plants covered with plas tic in winter to protect from excessive rain, which arrange ment most nearly resembles .their native habitat under deep snows. Pentstemon also is another favorite rock plant from Whiskey Peak. 1,864 Teeth Filled ' At Kiwanis Clinic A total of 1,864 teeth were filled during the 1958-1959 school year at the Medford Kiwanis club-sponsored dent al clinic in county courthouse.
