DO YOU SAY .... 



Dear Slra: Ky order of Irises arrived by 

 post In e-^cellent condition Indeed even 

 thoui^h they had to travel over many 

 thousands of miles of land and water. 

 Your catalog leads me to look forward most^ 

 eagerly to their flowering here. Yours

Too Far Away 



ft , 



In justice to yourself, your garden, 

 and to us, cast aside this mental preju- 

 dice — just once — that we may prove to 

 you the unimportance of distance. 



Experience the thrill and surprise of 

 opening an expertly packed box of the 

 finest iris plants you've ever seen, so 

 fresh you will hardly believe it possi- 

 ble they could have come so far! 



And then — next spring — RESULTS. 

 That is what counts most of all . . . that 

 is what is making Cooley's Oregon 

 grown irises . . . 



AND THERE IS THIS ABOUT 

 HARDINESS .... 



Too many folks associate the idea of 

 tenderness with the entire Pacific Coast 

 . . . Remember, OREGON IS NOT 

 SEMI-TROPICAL! THE CLIMATE AL- 

 MOST PARALLELS THAT OF THE 

 BRITISH ISLES. Each winter our gar- 

 dens are plunged into winter dor- 

 mancy by freezing temperatures. On 

 February 1st, 1937, we had THREE 

 FEET OF SNOW on the level ... Our 

 success has resulted from the successes 

 of customers in New England, Canada, 

 Minnesota, and other points far and 

 wide, where our stock has proved itself 

 hardy beyond question.
