“Now, before I go any farther, 1 want to tell you what I 
think of the roots you sent me. I had intended to write at 
once, but found myself quite swamped with work, so I put 
it off just a while. I received irises from all sections of the 
country this year, dividing rather generous orders among 
the specialists, and must say that yours were by far the 
finest of all. They were worth fully twice as much as the 
average that I received, and best of all, I believe they have 
all established themselves in spite of our desert like climate 
in July and August." (St. Louis, Adissouri) 
“The iris plants arrived yesterday in very good order. They 
are splendid plants and I am delighted with them." 
(Londonderry, North Ireland)

Waters. This proved to be one of the most popular irises we

Antonio, Texas)

My gardener says he has never seen finer ones." 
(California)

roots. They are splendid roots, so large; be sure 
to send your catalogue early next year." (Ontario, 
Canada) 
"The iris arrived in fine condition and I thank 
you for your prompt delivery. Fine stock. " (Long 
Island, New York) 
"It was so pleasant to come home from ivork and 
to find my iris had come. The plants are so big 
and healthy that it's going to seem ages from 
planting to blooming time. I eagerly await 
Spring." (New Mexico) 
T he ideal climate in which our gardens are located 
produces a quality of stock which is not surpassed. We 
are often asked if our irises are hardy in colder climates. 
We ship them all over the United States with perfect 
satisfaction and receive repeat orders year after year. As 
our season of blooming is advanced six weeks or so ahead 
of that in the Eastern States, it allows us to ripen the 
rhizomes in our rainless summer and send them without 
danger from rot in time to become well established for 
the following spring. Th is is an advantage too important 
to overlook.
