A PERSONAL STATEMENT 
Iris breeding as a delightful hobby and 
recreation, pursued for many years, has 
resulted in a number of choice things that 
have found favor in many American gardens 
and have been well received abroad. What¬ 
ever success these have achieved may be 
attributed to such knowledge of genetics 
as could be brought to bear, plus the artist’s 
appreciation of fine form and color as a 
guide to selection. 
In ofifering these selections to the public 
the thought has been to find some suitable 
means of distribution, rather than to estab¬ 
lish a commercial plant business. For this 
reason no annual catalog has been prepared, 
but a simple Descriptive List has been 
issued from time to time as the arrival of 
new varieties that seemed worthy of intro¬ 
duction made revision desirable. 
For 1937 three new varieties, Khiva, Sails 
Aloft, and Shantung, are being offered for 
the first time. On another page these are 
described in some detail. The older and 
better known varieties are now listed on 
the two following pages with somewhat 
less detailed descriptions. 
Prices—Cash with Order. 
Varieties not otherwise priced may be 
ordered at 25c each, three for 50c. 
Discounts 
No trade or wholesale discount will be 
allowed except that in all cases three 
rhizomes of the same variety may be or¬ 
dered for the regular price of two.
