Please look away off to the north—nearly a quarter of a mile—and con¬ 
template the "beauty of a 25-acre Iris Field when in full bloom. Two hundred 
varieties of the loveliest things that I know how to grow. Quarter of a million 
lovely, lovely, lovely Sky Blue in one field. If that won’t make you drive slow, you 
are hopeless. Looks like people come from everywhere. La:A May on the big; 
day, 5,000 automobiles came into our Iris Fields. No crowding, no congestion, 
no honking of horns by impatient drivers—nothing but good words for every¬ 
body and everything. The loveliest people in the world come to see us in May. 
They learned years ago how glad we are to have them. Please observe one-way 
traffic —entering at the north, and for goodness sake—drive slow. 
WILL B. OTWELL 
For Your Information 
I grow no flowers but Irises but I 
grow them by the millions. 
No shipments made until after 
blooming season. 
The later you plant your Irises, the 
more they will bloom the following 
May. 
Send me your orders soon as you 
make up your mind and I will ship 
at best time. 
July, August, September and October 
are good planting months—the weath¬ 
er has lots to do with it. 
If you live in far distant states, en¬ 
close 25 cents extra to help pay post¬ 
age. And I will get even by adding 
some nice variety to your order—free. 
At prices quoted in this folder, all 
shipments go to you by Parcel# Post, 
Prepaid. 
Don’t scold. That’s the cheapest 
thing in the world. Write a courteous 
letter about any mistakes and you 
will get the same in reply. 
Our Mail —It was the Otwell postage 
stamps that gave Carlinville free mail 
delivery and every day during Iris 
time the post office sends to our ware¬ 
house for our packages. Great is the 
blessing of Uncle Sam’s postal service. 
Please look over the full page of 
Bargain Collections and see if some of 
them do not answer your requirements. 
It is usually cheaper to buy that 
way, as we often take up hundreds of 
collections at one time. That lessens 
the expense of digging. I have used 
lots of study to make the collections 
so they will fit all conditions and all 
purses and give you the most color and 
harmony for your money. 
This Iris Polder —It would be an easy 
matter to go to a print shop and get a 
big catalogue printed—with lots of 
fine, expensive pictures and in the end 
you would have it to pay for. But this 
little folder tells the story in simple 
language and allows me to sell the 
Irises much cheaper. I have hundreds 
of pretty, attractive snapshots—taken 
in my own fields and I wish I could 
bring them all to you, but the few 
little ones that I am able to squeeze 
in will give you some idea of our 
fields. Twenty-five solid acres.
