 fellow on 10 to 12-inch stems. The falls are stiff and almost hori- 

 zontal, white except for a short band of solid blackish violet on

 ner of the Premio Firenze Medal in Italy in 1965. Shown on front

"Received the second box of Irises last Tuesday morning. They were 

 in good condition when they arrived here. Last year's blossoms were 

 really beautiful and different from what is usually grown up in this 

 country."

ipment of Iris arrived and the plants are beautiful and 

 llent condition. Thank you so much for always sending 

 quality rhizomes, and a very special thanks for the extra." 



Mr. and Mrs. Phil Huey, Cleburne, Texas 



"I just received my Iris order, as usual in perfect con- 

 dition, the biggest, healthiest, cleanest plants I ever 

 saw with the most amazing root system! Last spr'ng 

 your Iris from previous shipments provided the most 

 spectacular display of color I have ever had in my 

 garden. Many of my gardening friends were so en- 

 thusiastic that they asked for your catalog. I hope you 

 now have many new customers from the Washington, 

 D. C./ Maryland /Virginia area." 



Mrs. L. B. Watson, McLean, Virginia 



"My 1966 order came yesterday and it looks fine. But it is the 

 performance of last year's order that I sing. I got a bloom from 

 eight out of ten with no losses, as opposed to only eight out of 

 nineteen, with four losses, from your competitor's stock. The flow- 

 ers seemed larger too. I have grown Iris for twenty years and 

 never have I had such fine performance from first year stock."
