IRIS 
LONG BEARDED IRIS 
Long bearded Iris occur in a wide range of colors, are practically sure to perform 
100%, are easy of culture and are unexcelled for beauty. It is no longer necessary to be 
satisfied with mediocre varieties (small flowers and unattractive colors) since so many 
late introductions are now available at such low prices. Plan to replace your old varieties 
with outstanding new ones chosen from our Iris Catalogue which will appear about mid¬ 
summer. 
Long Bearded Iris should be planted during late summer or early fall for best results. 
We start shipping about July 10th. Plants should become established before cold 
weather which assures blooms for the following season. Our vigorous climate and fertile 
soil assure you rhizomes of exceptional quality. 
Our mid-summer iris list will contain over 100 selected varieties which have been proven 
in our gardens. Many are Dykes Medal winners or have received honorable mention. AH 
have been selected for special merit. If you are interested in Iris, please send your name 
and address on a card and we will file your name for summer mailing. If you wish to 
send the name and address of a friend, we will be pleased to send them also a free copy.
