IRIS 
Our Iris list embraces many very fine newest, only healthy plants, good bloomers. List 
ready in July. 
NEWER HEMEROCALUS 
The newest ones are very fine — 1937 blooms were wonderful. These newest ones are very 
advanced — Earlianna, two weeks earlier and much larger than Dr. Regel — many much later 
giving finer blooms. Late into September and later, very exceptional newer ones, a season 
May 15th into October. Many of these in the far south should bloom several times. 
DANITE Sorts —These give a fine crop, then follow up with blooms later on — blooms fine 
for 24 hours. All are very hardy types up into upper Canada. Customers in the far south 
have far more bloom during their season than here at our plantings. 
The increased interest in them will make greater future sales. Our crop of 1937 crossed 
seeds will give us several hundred thousand seedlings now coming up fine. 
LILIES 
The Lily is a wonderful subject when it does well. Our 1937 crop was very fine and a great 
show. This season our plants are coming up exceptionally well, while many Lily buyers 
complain about losses and poor results. Some newer hybrids show superior new creations. 
Many complain about difficulty in growing them — diseases — at 112° and up the heat is too 
severe for them. Our 1937 crop of Lily seeds was very fine, so we look forward to much bet¬ 
ter new Lilies. At about 115° F. many Lilies brown and are damaged. In 1937 many pets we 
gave special care gave far better results and repaid the extra care given them. These are 
showing very superior plants and blooms and were green and healthy into October. Experi¬ 
mentation with Lilies proves that with closer observations we will have superior Lilies— 
easier to grow than as grown at present. 
GLADIOLI 
The interest in Gladioli today is far greater than ever. Many lack stamina, are greatly over¬ 
praised and overvalued. These newer overpraised ones that are not properly bred show 
disease and unsatisfactory results. 1936 and 1937 severe dryness, heat, etc., gives one a real 
test of merits and relative values. In 1938 we will have many of the newest Glads on trial 
from among growers from all over the Gladioli world. 
In growing Glads for over 50 years — knowing personally such experts as Dr. Van Fleet, 
Mr. M. Crawford, Mrs. A. H. Austin, Mr. A. E. Kunderd, Mr. H. H. Groff—also securing the 
finest of all Europeans and Australians—so we know Glads! Also have paid for many, many 
poor sorts. 
DAHLIAS 
We can also view the Dahlia world as we can the Gladioli world—some wonderful ones, and 
more of no particular worth. Our decisions are based on the plant, not its introducer. A 
Dahlia planted May 20th should begin to bloom July 20th to frost. Good tubers, free 
bloomers, long stems, all colors, etc.
