TIP TOP GARDENS 
TIP-TOP GARDENS takes its name from a real estate development 
on the site of our original garden in Snyder, N. Y. It supplies us with our 
ideal to have our garden and plants of TIP TOP quality. Our business is 
the outgrowth of a life-long hobby and love for flowers, especially irises 
and those plants like hemerocallises and peonies which are so compatable 
with them. The owner was born June 28, 1887. After a business college 
education, entered the employ of the Pierce Cycle Co. of Buffalo, N. Y., 
which later grew into the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Co., in whose employ I 
spent twenty-three years. Operated a retail Shoe Store eight years; and 
during the second world war was spare parts engineer for Curtiss-Wright 
Corpor ation. 
At pr esent devoting all of my time to gardening.

CHARLES K. BASSETT IRIS GARDEN at 2700 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., 
Tam adding the following chart and price list of all varieties growing there.
