OUR CUSTOMERS SAY _ 
That, altho we are not, exactly, good for nothing, we 
ARE good! Maybe another reason for this, besides the 
ones we mention in the Foreword to this catalog, is the 
motto which we have posted in our packing shed. It reads 
like this: 
In good faith, our good customers, 
Remit good money from purse or pants; 
For goodness sake, be square with them, 
And send them only our good plants! 
And now for a quick re-broadcast from a cross-section 
of the U.S, A. 
Dear Ede & Walt:—I meant to write last summer immediately after I 
received my order, praising to the skies your swell plants. They were 
truly beautiful. But maybe it’s best I waited, as I can now tell you 
how much more I appreciated them since they’ve bloomed. Really and 
truly, my wife and I agree that it was the finest five bucks we’ve ever 
put into flowers. The blooms were, and still are, something to rave 
about, and, believe me, we have been. But here’s one for you: out 
of all my old irises, which were re-set in the middle of last summer’s 
furious drouth, very few bloomed at all; while yours, in spite of 
drouth and the winter-followed-by-summer-in-March, followed by win- 
ter-in-April, all bloomed but about three! So there! And remember, I 
bought nothimg expensive either—-50c was the highest one—SIEGFRIED, 
which hasn't bloomed yet, but will. Thanks again for everything, and 
rest assured of our boosting your institution whenever we get the Seas 
Edenwald Gardens:—The iris you sent me last year were truly the most 
satisfactory I have ever bought anywhere. Every rhizome bloomed and 
every one exceptionally beautiful. 
ILLINOIS. 
Dear Ede & Walt:—I might add that I admire the plain and modest 
way in which your catalog is gotten up. I had previously purchased 
several iris from Mrs. S.---, a local grower of choice iris and a cus- 
tomer of yours. I asked her about Edenwald Gardens. after seeing your 
ad. Altho a competitor, she recommended you most highly and said 
your rhizomes were the finest she had ever seen. I thought that was 
commendable and pass it on to you. 
MISSOURI. 
Dear Sirs:—Received the order of Iris and the roots were grand. I.ast 
year I made three short rows of the Iris I receive from you and they 
roduced more bloom than any of the others. Please send the fol- 
owing:- 
WYOMING. 
Dear Mr. Buss:— Iam enclosing my third order. Last year’s order was 
received in fine condition—-same superior rhizomes ss the previous year. 
All bloomed except HAPPY DAYS and SIEGFRIED and they are nice 
specimens. ETHEL PECKHAM was outstanding and received many 
comments. TIFFANY was beautiful also. Many visitors asked for 
your address which I was happy to give them. A friend viisted your 
gardens this Spring and I heard how beautiful they were. 
MINNESOTA. 

Edenwald Gardens:—My order of Iris, which I ordered from your gar- 
dens last July, were indeed lovely. Every one bloomed and I am more 
than pleased. 
TEXAS. 
Dear Ede & Walt:—The iris that I got from you last year have 
bloomed so beautifully this Spring that I wanted you to know. 
CHRISTABEL has five beautiful stalks now in bloom. CHOSEN has 
two stalks which have grown 47 incehs tall. My, they are lovely! Dr. 
G.- thinks GREAT LAKES the most beautiful. They are all so pretty 
to me that I have not been able to single one out and say ‘‘'this is 
the loveliest.’’ However, LIGHTHOUSE and MOROCCO ROSE 
fascinate me. My mother was so pleased with the rhizomes I gave her 
last year, that she would like more this year for her birthday. So 
just as soon as IJ receive yeur new price list you may expect my order. 
A satisfied custemer? Yes, indeed! 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
Gentlemen:—-All the iris I have ordered from you during the past two 
years have pleased me very much. All have bloomed the first year 
except two—GOLDEN TREASURE and MODISTE. 
UTAH. 
Edenwald Gardens:—All the plants I received from you last year are 
strong and husky, and the blooms on E. B. WILLIAMSON, SONNY 
BOY, and TIFFANY are the most gorgeous things in my garden—and 
that is ‘‘something’’ as I have a large garden. I know of no other 
flower that is so very interesting or so worth while. And I have never 
seen such plants as you sent. I have been buying iris for 5 years and 
yours were the finest of them all.
