We have several 400 foot films, 16 mm, that we have taken, showing many varieties of 
our Peonies, Iris, and Hemerocallis or Daylilies. These are available to all garden clubs that 
want to see our flowers in colored movies. The only charges will be the postage and insurance 
in returning the films to us. You will have to have a 16 mm projector to show the pictures. 
Each variety will be titled, so you will know the different ones, Film available after Septem- 
ber 1, 1948. Write us if you want these pictures. We think they will make a nice evening’s en- 
tertainment for you and your garden club.
