And Now for the Joy of Dividing! 
It’s a fact that next to seeing my Iris bloom, the next great joy is to dig and ship them, for I 
know that every root I send stands for pleasures multiplied. For years I have chummed with the Iris. 
A fair collection has resulted and the overflow I generally offer to G. M. Readers. Hundreds of satis¬ 
fied patrons throughout the country will gladly testify to the kind of service I render.

■Perennial Plants' 
from All Over the World 
is the title of a catalogue which everyone who cares 
for flowers should have. It lists most of the perennials 
that other catalogues contain, and many more which 
others don e have. 
Its companion book “California Bulbs” is just 
as interesting. Send for either or both. You'll 
find them well worth reading and not at all “cata- 
logy.” Your name now will bring catalogues in 
early September.

IRIS

Blooming from June to 
August in almost any kind 
of soil, in a range of colors 
embracing white, blues, la¬ 
venders, pinks, yellows, vio¬ 
let and reds, these flowers of 
early spring are almost the 
peer of the orchid in their 
dainty appeal. 
Write and tell me your 
preferences in type and color¬ 
ing and I will help plan your 
next Iris plot. “The Dahlia King”

The Growth of 
A New Idea 
But seven short years ago a new cultivat- 
ing-weeding idea was born. Struggling through 
garden work with old fashioned tools—chop¬ 
ping the soil inch by inch, proved too slow 
and tiresome work for a man with an in¬ 
ventive turn of mind. After considerable 
experimenting the founder of this busi¬ 
ness invented the Gilson Dubl-Duti— 
the greatest scuffle hoe extant. Other 
new tools followed. To-day the 
entire line is accorded nation-wide 
recognition. 
“Better Crops 
Through Cul¬ 
tivation 
will tell you more about 
the Gilson line. Gilson’s 
tools are fast, effective 
Cultivator-W e e d e r s. 
Performance counts, 
they cover a square 
foot with each com¬ 
plete stroke. Big time savers and 
easy to operate. Let the booklet 
tell you more about them.
