A WORD ABOUT PRICES 
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA 
The rhizomes were the largest I have ever had and I look for fine 
flowers next spring. 
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO 
The plants are so big and healthy that it's going to seem ages from 
planting to blooming time. I eagerly await Spring. 
RUPERT, IDAHO 
Just want to tell you how nice the iris were I ordered from you 
this fall. 
WHEATRIDGE, COLORADO 
Received the iris ordered from you in fine condition and wish to 
thank you for the fine rhizomes you sent and for the extras. They 
surely were fine, strong plants and I was delighted with them. 
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA 
I just want to say that your iris have done better in my garden than 
those of seven other specialists throughout the United States. I have 
never had one iris that failed from you. 
When you order irises, you should expect to receive 
honest value for your money. Above all else you want 
Sood, strong, husky plants that are freshly dug and properly 
packed so that they will reach you in perfect condition. 
Small, poorly grown plants that will take two years to 
bloom, are not a bargain at any price. 
Most varieties of irises, grown to perfection in our 
nursery, develop large rhizomes. Many produce husky 
giants that will amaze you. Unless the plants you receive 
are of the very top quality, you are not getting your money’s 
worth. 
To be sure of the best, order your irises from the 
Milliken Iris Gardens. 
EUREKA, CALIFORNIA 
The iris rhizomes received from you a few weeks ago looked so 
strong and hardy that I have become enthusiastic enough to want 
more. 
WILLCOX, ARIZONA 
We are delighted with the nice iris rhizomes which have arrived 
in fine condition. The efficiency of your packing deserves commen¬ 
dation. 
WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON 
Your plants are the largest we have received and I think we have 
tried them all. 
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA 
My order of iris came yesterday. Thank you for prompt delivery. 
They surely are large healthy plants. 
PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA 
The wonderful iris reached me in perfect condition. This is my 
third order from you and I only hope these will be as lovely as the 
other two orders. 
VALLEJO, CALIFORNIA 
The iris rhizomes arrived in fine condition and are already showing 
signs of taking root in their new home. They were lovely big 
divisions, two of them could almost be called clumps, so I feel sure 
they will give me a fair sample of their beauty next spring. 
LAKE BAY, WASHINGTON 
I am very sorry that I could not thank you before for 
the extraordinary iris roots that you had mailed me so gen¬ 
erously two months ago. They looked more like big lob¬ 
sters, some like mountains. You should see them now. We 
have had no rains at all, and yet each root became a big 
plant with 4-5-6 stems as if they had been established in 
the place two years or more. 
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 
Your shipment of iris received, all in excellent condi¬ 
tion and fine, healthy looking rhizomes. 
T HE ideal climate in which our garden is 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. This is an advantage too important 
to overlook. 
You get more for your money when you buy Mil¬ 
liken s vigorous, healthy, California-grown plants
