Rugged Kansas Grown Iris 
No, I am Not Out Of Business, as many of you 
may think, due to the fact that I did not send out 
a Catalog last year. 
It was an unexpected interlude as I was caught 
in a whirlpool of insurmountable events. 
Aside from the fact that I have raised an 
adorable baby grand daughter now two and one 
half years old, in February I was called to the bed- 
side of my Dear Mother where I stood by until she 
was safely through a crisis of four weeks duration. 
Then with the many extra duties imposed by 
the present labor problem, and the Spring rush just 
around the corner, there was no time for the making 
of a Catalog. 
1944 finds us with fields of fine healthy Iris, 
and we will strive to give the best service possible 
under present conditions. So start your orders rolling. 
Our rhizomes are husky, drouth resistant, di- 
sease free and fresh from our fields to you. 
If you are not already a customer, read my 
Guarantee, order with confidence and become another 
booster for RUGGED KANSAS GROWN IRIS.

Than any where else on earth.
