two-story portico, 14 Ionic columns, glazed terra cotta roof tiles, fountains and
Greek-inspired statuary, and interior features like a set of French doors with an
arched glass transom. The Kiser Mansion is recognized in the National Register for
being associated with well-known persons from the past. John Kiser was a successful Champaign County
businessman who operated the Chandler Robbins Sewing Machine Company,
the Monarch Bicycle Company, the Phoenix Horseshoe Company and the
Cincinnati Horseshoe and Iron Company. The Champaign Democrat noted that
Kiser was Champaign County's sole millionaire in 1913.

If you are one of the 13 people planning to stop by to pick up a pot of Blazing Star bulb clumps I dug up this morning, please reach out to me. Someone helped themselves to many pots and none are left where I placed them for you. I’ll did up some for you. Let’s keep with our Monday plan. I’ll be here.

The consequence of novice gardening and casually spreading Blazing Star seeds in one garden has resulted in transplants of more than 60 clumps of the plant throughout the yard. The Blazing Stars are thriving and are ready to be divided again and shared. Our seeds yielded mature plants in two years. There are enough plantings to share with at least 20 people. I can let some go to seed and give seeds away, too. Send a pm (before 8/16/22) and we’ll start a list for distribution.
