Flowers such.as these may grow in your garden. Gardens 
are precious things to be greatly cherished both in mind and 
heart for they can take us from the day’s doubts and uncer- 
tainties into a magic realm where we may be restored and 
refreshed. 




Our iris-growing began as a simple experiment in land- 
scaping. Now after thirty years of developing and perfecting 
the iris we are more convineed than ever before of their value 
as a landscaping and garden flower—suited to a wide variety 
of needs in outdoor plantings. Otwell iris, orginiated by the 
late Will B. Otwell, for many years a successful nurseryman 
and horticulturalist, are now known and grown in every state 
in the Union as well as in many foreign lands. 







American iris growers have introduced new colors into 
the iris world and have clarified and brightened some of the 
older colors. By so doing iris now have a far greater garden 
value than they ever had in former years 
We have added to our catalog many of the best iris known 
to the iris world. We hope that you will become acquainted 
with these masterpieces of irisdom in a garden of your own. 
MRS. W. B. OTWELL, 
Carlinville, Ilinois.
