FOREWORD 
We have had a long and most beautiful spring, the waning of which 
finds us somewhat weary of body, but with a spirit and memory deeply 
enriched by a flow of beauty almost without parallel in our experience, 
and some exceedingly pleasant contacts with other plant lovers visiting 
the garden. I was delighted with a great number of new acquisitions 
flowering for the first time, and with the surprising glory of my own 
seedling beds. Some of these newer items I already find that I can safely 
begin to list, whilst others will in their due time be available to enrich 
succeeding lists. I do not as yet possess sufficient stocks to commence 
introduction by name of the many reallly outstanding new daffodil seed- 
lings now in hand, but in response to many requests I now offer the 
mixed seedlings no longer required in my work in quantity lots, and there 
being some rather nice things among them, you can get considerable fun 
in the adventure of growing a batch. 
The new iris seedlings offered are all good, but worthy of special men- 
- tion for beauty and distinctiveness are the dark red MOHAWEK, and the 
magnificent blackish violet PEACOCK THRONE, which is one of the 
most splendid things I have ever put out. The seedling strain of iris de- 
veloped in this garden continues to be particularly fruitful in the copper, 
brown and deep red tones. Lovers of the flower who have not seen such 
of these as COPPERWING, HIGHLANDER, JUBILANT, MOHAVE, 
MOHICAN, MOHAWK, SHOSHONE, RED ROCK, SAMOSET, 
PRIDE OF REDLANDS still have much in store. Some of these are 
top-flight exhibition sorts, others find their best setting as garden clumps, 
but all are both finely colored and distinctive. 
Through all these late hard months of anxiety, foreboding, spiritual 
conflict, and mental distress, the peace of our gardens continues to offer 
us abiding surcease. None will ever ‘measure the greatness of their con- 
tribution to the restoration of sore-tried souls, or how bravely they have 
served to turn us again with strengthened confidence to our own special 
tasks, light or’ heavy to our strength as these may be. Nature has been 
most beautiful to us here. My concluding wish to the many kind friends 
and patrons so deeply appreciated by me, lis that whether near or far 
she has shown to ‘them the same beneficence, and that the dawn of a 
brighter day for each and all may be nearer than we know. 
EASTERN CUSTOMERS WILL FIND OUR ABILITY TO SHIP 
BOTH IRISES AND DAFFODILS BY EARLY SUMMER AN IN- 
ESTIMABLE ADVANTAGE, GIVING THE PLANTS AN EXTRA 
LONG PERIOD OF ROOT-GROWTH BEFORE THE ONSET OF 
WINTER.
