OPPORTUNITY 
Sometimes it knocks twice in the same place! 
You are one of the 30,000 people who last year received 
the iris catalog of Cooley's Gardens. Perhaps you now have 
irises growing in your garden, selected from the pages of that 
catalog, and you are keenly looking forward to the approaching 
iris season, when they will bloom for you. 
But a vast number of folks could not obtain all of the 
varieties they desired....many were sold out within a surpris— 
ingly short time. There were instances where a lean garden 
budget overshadowed the desire to take advantage of tempting 
collection offers. The reasons why you didn't add the irises 
you wanted may be many and varied, but this special announcement 
brings GOOD NEWS even to those whose gardens already boast a 
fine collection! 
NEW COLLECTIONS at $2....$3....$5....$10 
*Look inside this folder-—-—-the first glance will tell 
you that even last year's bargains are being outdone. And by 
ordering now, you definitely make sure of two important things: 
1. You will get your order filled completely, 
exactly as you want it. No second choices, 
no substitutions. 
<. Delivery will be made right off the bat, 
in June, so that your plants will have all 
summer to grow for you. 
These collections will not be repeated in our catalog, 
published late in May. Stocks of many varieties are short, and 
such will not even be listed. Others will be offered, but not 
in collections. 
AND HERE IS THE WHY OF ALL THIS —- 
By presenting a special offer at this time, for 
acceptance during a very limited period, we both gain from 
the following advantages: 
1. The plants you order will be "ear—marked" 
now, and labels, tags, and office procedure 
will be taken care of in advance of the 
rush season. 
2. Orders can be dug and shipped weeks before 
they possibly could be when ordinarily 
selected from the catalog. 
35. The catalog can be made up following 
expiration of this offer, lessening risk 
of overselling on some items and consequent 
disappointment of many customers. 
*MARCH 10th IS THE LAST DAY....ORDER AT ONCE! 
FREE IRIS PLANTS —-— Every collection has a remarkable 
offer of extra value plants free.

Yours for better irises,
