IGHT NOW in every state in this country, every province in Canada, except the extreme 

 northern portion, and in far-away Australia, as well as various European countries. Irises and 

 bulbs from Cooley's Gardens are growing lustily. You, too, if you live in a spot where a 

 garden can be grown, may have complete confidence that stock bought from us will arrive in 

 perfect condition, and, with reasonable care, enjoy perfect success. 



A WORD ABOUT OUR STOCK 



Oregon, and especially the Willamette Valley, has acquired 

 a world-wide reputation for bulb and plant production. Our 

 gardens are located in the heart of this renowned valley, and 

 all of the stock we offer is grown right here. This fact, 

 coupled with our clean and intensive cultural methods, enables 

 us to furnish plants of a quality that few growers can dupli- 

 cate. Our iris rhizomes are of exceptional size and vigor, and 

 in many instances one root purchased from us in July or 

 August will reward the owner with two or three flower stalks 

 the very first season after planting. 



Our iris rhizomes are NOT IRRIGATED, NOT FERTI- 

 LIZED, and we have NEVER HAD AN IRIS BORER! 

 Likewise, our lilies and other bulbs are large, sound, and free 

 from pests and diseases. They are grown right here and are 

 perfectly fresh when they start on their journey to your 

 garden.
