HELLO, FOLKS | 
We like to think of you as just folks, the same as 
we are. 
This 1948 catalog makes the third one we have is- 
sued since we started business and we have been more 
than surprised and delighted at the response you have 
given us. We have received orders far beyond our ex- 
pectations and many repeat orders from our former 
customers. 
If we had the room we would like to print the many 
testimonials we receive from our customers as to the 
quality of plants shipped them during the past two 
seasons. 
We have added a great many varieties to our last 
year’s list, both Iris and Chrysanthemums. We have 
also added Hemerocallis or Daylilies. These three flow- 
ers will make a garden of beauty from spring until fall. 
Iris start to bloom the latter part of May, Daylilies dur- 
ing the summer months, and Chrysanthemums from 
September until after the first frosts. 
We would like to receive a trial order from you this 
year; we know you will be more than pleased with the 
plants you receive. 
A few dollars invested will add many hours of pleasure!

An Ideal Hardy Perennial 
The more Iris we grow the more enthusiastic we 
become. We can hardly wait to see the new Iris in 
bloom! There are so many varieties and colors and 
combination of colors and they are so easy to grow. The 
growing of Iris becomes a habit that continues to grow 
and that never seems to get out of our blood. 
Iris will grow in almost any soil. Requires little 
attention. Will thrive in half sun and half shade. Plant 
from 18 to 24 inches apart, and cover with not more than 
one inch of dirt. 
The best time to plant is from July Ist to Septem- 
ber 15th, although they can be planted up to the time 
the ground freezes. In most instances blubs planted this 
year will bloom next.
