GREETINGS: --- 
. We are pleased to offer several new introductions 
this year. There are three from Mr. Snyder who 
originated the lovely Bright Melody. And we are 
offering vou a few of our own named seedlings. After 
growing thousands of lovely seedlings which we never 
felt quite good enough, we finally had several really 
good ones to break for us last year. After several 
judges and many visitors had approved of them we 
finally named and are releasing those on the following 
page. Many others were selected for further observa- 
tion and for breeding purposes. 
Besides those mentioned, many other new Iris 
may be seen in our gardens this year. The new red 
of Jake Sass, No. 41-23, now named Solid Mahogany, 
that created such a stir last year and a large bed of 
numbered Sass seedlings show promise of being full of 
bloom as well as the new introductions of Kleinsorge, 
Hall, DeForest, Lapham and others. Also numbered 
seedlings ana most of the recent introductions of the 
Whitings including Tea Rose, Arab Chief and Harvest 
Moon will be seen. 
All named plants and several thousand seedlings 
in unbloomed one and two year old plants came 
through the winter in fine shape and this season 
promises to be the best yet. We hope that those of 
you who can, will come and enjoy it with us. You will 
be very welcome. 
NOTICE: --- 
We have moved our Iris beds to new grounds and 
have replanted in wider rows. We now can give them 
every attention as to cultivation and watering and 
will guarantee our stock to be strong and healthy and 
as large as can be grown in the midwest. 
We also guarantee everything to be true to name. 
In moving we discarded all stock that we were un- 
certain about and purchased new planting stock. If, 
however, any error should be found, we will make 
correct replacement at once.
