Why My Catalog Is Late 
On April 7th, a 10-inch snow fell, accompanied by 
very severe freezing. Many Iris were well in bud, 
and the dwarfs had finished blooming. 
In order to make a final check of possible dam¬ 
age from this storm, printing of the catalog was 
withheld a few weeks. Am happy to say, the Iris 
came through with fiying colors and we enjoyed a 
truly grand blooming season. 
Each year’s increasing demand truly proves the 
merit of this fine rugged flower; and please remem¬ 
ber that the present day low prices are no reflection 
on the value of these fine varieties which com¬ 
manded such high prices just a few years ago. 
In appreciation of the fine testimonials and 
friendly messages from my customers everywhere, 
I take this method of expressing my sincere thanks 
and saying best of luck to each and every one of 
you.
