T ALL STARTED with six iris, 
planted twenty years ago. 
Satisfied customers who 
order year after year and 
show the flowers to their neigh- 
bors have made our business grow 
until today we have the world’s 
largest iris planting. Iris from our 
fields are growing in hundreds of 
thousands of gardens, in fact, may 
be found in almost every town of 
any size in the country. 

CALCUTTA 
To keep the cost down and the 
quality up, we use modern meth- 

So ods. Our rhizomes are planted with 
N | a machine—we are the only iris 
grower who has one—which has a 
% a capacity of 60 plants a minute, or 
3,600 an hour. It sets the plants in 
at just the right depth. Our rows 
are forty inches wide, and the 
machine spaces the rhizomes four- 
teen inches apart, giving each plant 
plenty of elbow room to produce 

the finest rhizomes for you. All 
our stock was lined out on new 



aS . = f . . . 
i. | land on which iris have never been 
2h 
\ 
grown before. 
RADIANT 
Every order receives our most 
careful attention and is filled gen- 
erously. 
You are cordially invited to visit 
us at any time. The Iris usually 
begin to bloom about June Ist. 
You will see more iris than you 
ever saw before, in fact, many 
miles of rows. 
ELMOHR is the only variety 
shown in natural size. Most of the 
other varieties in this list are also 
huge.
