GREETINGS 1935 
We are proud to submit our new list of Bearded Iris for your approval. 
Many very fine new varieties have been added to our collection, and 
you are cordially invited to come and see them during blooming sea¬ 
son. We list only those varieties which we grow successfully in our 
own garden. We also grow many varieties of Beardless Iris and other 
species, which may be listed next year. Our pools and rock gardens 
are of great interest to garden visitors. We are glad to greet old 
friends and new acquaintances, so come and see us. 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
CULTURE 
THE BEARDED IRIS thrives in any well drained soil in an open sun¬ 
ny location. If good drainage is not natural in your garden, iris beds 
may be raised a few inches to insure the drainage of surface water 
away from the roots. Iris should be planted carefully with feeding 
roots spread, and earth well firmed around and barely covering the 
rhizomes. 
WE RECOMMEND JULY PLANTING. The plants are then fully ma¬ 
tured and in the best condition for moving. Many years’ experience 
has shown that roots moved at this time become thoroughly estab¬ 
lished, winter well, and usually bloom the following spring.
