TALL BEARDED IRIS May-June 
YOU, THE PEOPLE, have spoken! 
So many new Irises are introduced each year that the average flower-lover can spend 
a fortune for simply “new”’ Irises. 
To sample the popular choice of Irises, we planted a hundred varieties near our 
GREEN BARN where the blooms were seen annually by thousands of visitors. This 
planting included newer as well as older varieties. NO ONE WAS TOLD which were 
the newest and which were the oldest varieties. We wanted YOU, THE PEOPLE, to 
select the varieties that were actually preferred because of attractive flowers and ex- 
cellent habit of growth. 
YOUR list is offered below, and, in addition, at our lowest prices In many years. 
YOU, THE PEOPLE, have selected this list. Only the varieties YOU admired and bought 
most freely are included.
