The same climate and growing conditions that 
have made California internationally famous as the 
producer of over 90% of the nation’s supply of 
flower seeds, also produce in our iris fields rhizomes 
of such outstanding quality that we are sure you will 
say that you have never seen any finer. 
In order to produce rhizomes of the very finest 
quality, we make it a practice to replant our entire 
growing field each year. This gives each plant an 
opportunity to develop to its maximum size and vigor 
and also accounts for the unusually large number 
of side shoots already developed on the plants which 
we ship. A rhizome properly grown in this manner is 
easily worth two or three small, poorly nourished 
rhizomes, dug from a crowded three or four-year-old 
clump. 
We are often asked if our irises are hardy in 
colder climates. Hardiness is inherent in the variety 
and does not depend upon where it is grown. There 
are a few irises which, because of their early spring 

IRIS RETICULATA 

growth, are suited only for the milder climates of 
California and the South. All varieties are perfectly 
hardy and will survive the most severe climates. 
The iris blooming season in Southern California 
is earlier than in any other section of the country. 
This means that our rhizomes have a longer period 
in which to develop atter the flowering season, which 
is another reason for their husky size and vigor.

DUTCH AND SPANISH IRIS 
The crop of Dutch and Spanish iris bulbs is so uncertain at 
the time this catalogue goes to press that we are not listing any 
of them now. In the early fall, when we issue our "Fall Special” 
list, we may be able to list some varieties. The '’Fall Special” list 
is sent to all of those who have been sent this catalogue and to 
others upon request.
