Yes, it's Iris time once more! For 27 YEARS we have been 

 greeting old customers and friends and welcoming new 

 ones . . . from Maine to California, Canada to the Rio Grande. 

 This catalog is our hearty handshake to renew old acquaint- 

 ance, and to hope for many a new one. 



NEW INTRODUCTIONS! 



FRONT PAGE 



FRONT COVER BACK COVER 



Both of these garden scenes were made in our 



4-acre display garden. Pauline Cooley tidies up 



things in the picture on front cover. 



One of the great thrills of gardening comes from the addition 

 of brand new things— fresh from the trial beds of the plant 

 breeder. Three of them shown on these two pages, appear 

 on pages four and five. Dr. Kleinsorge has been breeding Iris 

 for 30 years, David Hall for about 25 ... a combined total of 

 over a half-century of hybridizing effort! No wonder that for 

 several years now 25% of the list of 100 Favorites of the 

 American Iris Society have been produced by these two men. 



NEW LOW PRICES! 



... on almost every variety listed in this catalog. Particular 

 attention is directed to the collections and group offers on 

 pages 16 and 17 and from pages 26 to 41 where vou can 

 MAKE YOUR OWN COLLECTIONS and TAKE 1/3 OFF! 

 These specials actually give you 50% more for your Iris dollar. 

 Varieties not listed in group offers are net price and not sub- 

 ject to the discount. And remember, we always include in 

 every order a liberal "extra" or "gratis" which we feel sure 

 will please you!
