Greetings . . 1948 
We have moved.—Please note our new address. 
This season we had hoped to greet you with a 
larger catalogue and color plates of our new introduc- 
tions. However, the process of moving such a large 
amount of stock and equipment; as well as extensive 
work on the grounds and remodeling on the new place 
took up the whole of the planting season and so much 
of the winter that we were forced to put aside our new 
setup and retain again for this year our usual type and 
size of catalogue. 
However we are looking forward to a really fine 
season of bloom in the new fields and gardens and we 
cordially invite you to come and enjoy it with us. Be- 
sides the fields of seedlings and named varieties, you will 
find a great number of new guest and trial Iris. We 
hope to have good bloom on such things as the Beautiful 
Cuban Carnival from the Sass Brothers, Marathon, 
Korea, Aurora Dawn and others from the Whitings. 
Pink Tower, Gay Orchid, Brown Stain, Deep Buttercup 
and others from the Garden of Tell Muhlestein. The 
breathtaking blue Cahokia from the Faugh garden 
should also bloom here as well as many new things 
under name or number from the gardens of Hall, Ohl, 
Schroeder, DeForest, Smith, Cook, Loomis, Schreiner 
and others. We feel that you too will find these most 
interesting and well worth seeing. Especially the many 
of you who like ourselves grow seedlings and like to 
see as many of the new things as possible for the pur- 
pose of comparison. 
Again we bid you Welcome. Come and enjoy the 
season of bloom with us.
