THE TRIS GARDEN

We are in the pink. The great replanting project is more than half accomplished and 
better tillage methods are beginning to show up. A favorable winter and spring, so far, 
suggests extraordinarily good bloom. And we have the “new pinks”, more and more of 
them and in more and more varieties. We even have enough of a Loomis seedling S.O. 72, 
sister to Spindrift, to offer it at a moderate price. 


Last year we sent Miss Rose Foll, of Albany, N.Y., an iris prize to celebrate the 
twenty years her card had been in our customer file. This year many more will be elected 
to the Twenty Years Club and receive awards. They are: Gorge F. Gundelfinger, Sewickly, 
Pa.; Mrs. H. M. Wolfe, Taylorville, Ill; Mrs. W. C. Freymuth, River Forest, Ill.; Mrs. J. L. 
Carter, Cabot, Ark.; Mrs. W. G. Rea, Marshall, Mo.; W. S. McCoy, Independence, Mo., and 
Mrs. W. E. Baird, Mrs. Robert Caldwell, Mrs. C. C. Clark, H. S. Davis, Dr. L. E. Davidson, 
Mrs. B. L. Lanterman, Mrs. Wilson Lyman, P. M. Petersen, Mrs. J. A. Sheidow and Frank B. 
Woodbury, all of Kansas City, Mo. 
Of course there are probably hundreds of local customers who bought iris as early as 
1929 and probably once or twice since, but the rule is ‘no tickee no washee’’—no card in 
the file, no award. Your card, continuously in the file, means that you have bought at least 
as often as every three or four years. Many in the above list have bought iris from us 
every year. 
Good bloom and good gardening to you all.
