‘To tell you how pleased I am with the Iris I 
ordered from you last summer. The plants were 
the best I ever got and all bloomed except Golden 
Treasure, but the plant is strong and I am sure it 
will bloom next season. Thanks a lot for such 
fine roots.’’ NORTH DAKOTA 
“My first order from you, planted last year, 
has been most satisfacory. Seven of the eight iris 
received have bloomed—all except Miss California 
—in spite of almost continuous rain throughout 
May and this month.’’ RHODE ISLANS)D 
““As usual, I had a fine lot of bloom from the 
wonderful plants you sent last year. They can’t 
be beat! Enjoyed your fine catalog again this 
year but could I make one suggestion? A sugges- 
tion which I think would make it even more val- 
uable? Couldn’t the ‘star’ that indicates YOUR 
choice for the ‘100 Best’ be of a little different 
shape than the others? After all, we buyers value 
your judgment too. This would be a great help to 
many of us, so how about it? I am sure there 
must be many more who feel as I do. Thank you 
for your fine service—not only for now but in 
years past.’’ ARIZONA 
“Just a word of appreciation for the iris 
rhizomes I received from you last year. They all 
bloomed excellently, particularly China Maid, EI- 
mohr and The Red Douglas. Great Lakes also 
lived up to its reputation and the one plant of 
Gudrun did well.’’ ONTARIO, CANADA 
IRISES AND DAYLILIES 
‘There is never a disappointment when we get 
iris from you, and our iris are admired by many 
people. I wish we could have acres of them and 
one of my dreams is that some time I might get 
to see your gardens and you. Your catalogue is so 
friendly that I know you must be as nice as the 
iris you grow.’’ MICHIGAN 
‘‘First made your acquaintance last year and 
was much pleased with the iris bulbs. All but 
China Maid bloomed. Have given your name to 
several of my friends who admired the iris I re- 
ceived from you.”’ NEW JERSEY 
The fine roots you sent last fall got off to a good 
start and I had them well covered. Didn’t lose a 
one out of 15 and all but one bloomed. That was 
China Maid, which looked fine but was a bit 
backward, I supposed. Got a big thrill out of the 
Mohrs, Elmohr and Ormohr, and from Great 
Lakes and Wm. A. Setchell. Prairie Sunset, Sno- 
qualmie and Golden Treasure were all outstanding 
too. To replace the winter-killed varieties I’m 
sending in an order which I wish could be a lot 
bigger. It contains a collection and a few individ- 
ual selections of hemerocallis, my first nibble at 
these. They all sound mighty good and the idea of 
having some dependable flowers in the middle of 
the summer appeals to me.’’ IOWA 
“The iris I got of you last year all bloomed this 
spring and were lovely, especially Snoqualmie. So 
I am sending you my order again.’’ MONTANA 
“T was more than pleased with the day-iily 
plants you sent me last year. They all bloomed.’’
