FOREWORD 
This Catalog is an offering from one Iris fancier to another. 
For many years Iris have been our main love in flowers. 
After experimenting with various species, we believe the tall Bearded 
Iris is the most satisfactory flower that can be grown in every part of the 
United States. 
The Iris Test Garden was developed to further the appreciation of our 
favorite flower. The pleasure derived from it, far outweighs the effort and 
expense of keeping the garden up to date. 
Every plant in the garden receives expert care and is carefully checked 
to develope good sound giant size rhyzomes. 
You readers of American Iris Society Bulletins can quickly identify the 
genuine values offered here. 
By using no color plates or elaborate catalog we are able to pass on to 
you at this low cost, high quality Iris in varieties that have been heretofore 
listed at very high prices. 
We are not attempting to cover a long mailing list as many of our offerings 
are small and in some varieties only a few rhyzomes are available. 
However, whatever the amount of your order; we will furnish you the best 
rhyzomes you have ever received, no matter where they came from in the past.
