IRISES 
“If you yield to the magic spell of the Iris, it 
will lead you across the border into a wonderland of 
delight, for an Iris garden is a floral world in itself. ” 
Our collection of more than 800 named irises (We have grown and discarded an 
equal number as inferior.), with yearly changes and additions from among the out¬ 
standing new things, aided by visits to many other growers and breeders, we believe, 
represents in an unusual degree the finest varieties recently introduced. A very large 
proportion of them have been offered to the public only since 1930; and now as never 
before the Iris deserves its position as the finest of all hardy garden flowers. The 
fine varieties of today show improved quality and colorings undreamed of but a few 
years ago. 
It is well known that the Iris, because of its dainty refinement, and the delicate 
poise of the Orchid, presents a wider range of coloring, will withstand more neglect 
and abuse and will thrive under more widely varied and less favorable conditions 
than any other garden flower. 
And the artists say that the Iris is the most artistic form in all the flower world.

PRICES 
Prices of really fine Irises now are so low that no garden lover need be without 
them. Many wondrouslv beautiful Irises are ignored completely just because they 
have escaped display advertising and official recognition. 
Our gardens contain a number of new Irises not adequately described or even 
listed, and a number of new ones under test which we hope will bloom this season for us.
