Qreetinqs! 



S^^g^^ OUR ]MANY FRIENDS and eiistomers eveiywhere we present herewith onv offerings of 

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

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

 our catalogue to the ii'is. 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, and some unusual BULBOUS IRIS for the early spring 

 garden. For satisfactory results all of tliese items should be planted in the summer or early autumn. 



NO FALL CATALOG THIS YEAR— EVERYTHING WE OFFER IS LISTED HEREIN 



Your attention is directed to a few novelties which we are listing for the first time. These include three 

 new SPURIA iris, the rare and seldom listed bulbous iris JUNC'EA, a new lily, the three French irises on 

 page 4, and a new pink introduction on the same page. 



COOLEY'S IRIS LIST has lieen built up diu-ing five successive years of personal visits and contacts with 

 iris growers in practically ever.y section of the United States. During this period, ^Ir. R. ISl. Cooley has 

 visited at blooming time the famous iris groAvers and hybridizers in California, Nebraska, Missouri. Indiana, 

 Ohio, "Washington, D. C, Philadelphia. Ncav York and Ncav England, Illinois and jNIinnesota, besides numer- 

 ous intermediate points. Probably no other iris enthusiast in this country has enjoyed as Avide a personal 

 acquaintance with iris celebrities, attended as many iris shows, or viewed a like numlier of commercial and 

 private iris collections of fame and prominence. 



And so, Avith this knoAvledge and experience, Ave have Imilt up an iris planting Avhich is al)solutely up-to- 

 date. Avith a minimum of duplications in color and style, and the purchaser can be assured that if it comes 

 from our gardens, it must be good!
