‘7 am enclosing an order for Iris and hoping I am not too late for 
the Lucky collection. 
“This seems a promising Spring for us flower growers, so 1 am 
anxious for new Iris to fill in the holes left by last years drought, heat 
and the grasshoppers; the latter often eating the roots as Well as foliage 
and always preferring my best Iris! We hope that this year will be 
more encouraging. I didn’t have any heart left to order new Iris last 
year. 
“I wish you might have more space in your book to give us ’garden 
pictures,’ as in your contest on the first page. It helps so much in 
arranging our plantings to have the benefit of other people’s experiences, 
as it takes several years to grow' these pictures. 
“One pretty picture in my garden this Spring is Prairie Gold, 
Cameliard, Rameses, King Midas, Dolly Madison and Indian Chief in 
the front, with Capt. Courageous, Grand Monarch, El Capitan, Le 
Correge, Coronation and Grace Stutevant, in back; while in the next 
row back of these, are four plants of Sweet Rocket and Hemerocallis 
(apricot) in front of a rose pink peony planting. (Mme. Colot) and 
pink Oriental poppy (Watteau). It is indeed a lovely picture. I only 
wish to create other pictures as lovely in my garden. 
“Your Iris has always bloomed wonderfully for me and usually 
the first year, while your extra roots are appreciated very much. Thank¬ 
ing you for past favors and best wishes for a favorable growing season, 
I remain,’’
