OUR MANY FRIENDS and customers everywhere we present herewith our offering's of 

 choice Irises, Lilies, and other bulbs and plants. Our collection of iris is one of the best and 

 most modern in the world, and as specialists in this flower we have devoted a major portion of 

 our catalogue to the iris. But lovers of flowers in general will, we hope, find much of interest 

 besides the iris, for we have to offer several especially fine HARDY LILIES, an exceptionally inter- 

 esting collection of ORIENTAL POPPIES, a dozen new HYBRID HEMEROCALLIS, and some 

 unusual BULBOUS IRIS for the early spring garden. For satisfactory results all of these items should be 

 planted in the summer or early autumn.

A WORD ABOUT OUR STOCK 



Oregon, and especially the AYillamette Valley, has 

 acquired a Avorld-Avide 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 furnisli 

 plants of a quality that few growers can duplicate. 

 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 plant- 

 ing. 



Our iris rhizomes are NOT IRRIGATED. NOT 

 FERTILIZED, and w-e 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 fresli 

 when they stai't on their journey to your garden.
