GREETINGS 
xk wk * 
E ARE introducing this year four 
iris in varied colors. All are win- 
ter hardy, vigorous and _ free 
blooming. 
Our little business has grown each year 
and my strength and endurance are headed 
in the opposite direction. I have been unable 
to delegate a large part of the work and have 
been forced to take some action to reduce 
the amount of labor. So I have reluctantly 
decided to omit from our catalogue 20 of the 
lower priced varieties formerly listed. 
The best time to transplant Iris is debat- 
able. However, when plants are not crowded 
and are growing under favorable conditions, 
I believe it best not to disturb them during 
the hot and often dry months of June and 
July. I prefer to fill orders for the Northern 
States in late August and for the Southern 
States in September. 
You are most cordially invited to visit our 
gardens when in bloom. The height of our 
season of bloom is usually in the first week 
in June. 
The Shore Line trains of the Chicago 
North Shore and Milwaukee line stop at 8th 
St., Wilmette, one block from our residence, 
809 Central Avenue. 
There is some talk of discontinuing this 
service. If this should happen before bloom- 
ing season, take the Evanston Wilmette trains 
on the elevated to the end of the line Linden 
Avenue, Wilmette. Taxi service available. Six 
blocks to our residence. Our new garden and 
most extensive planting is at 1519 Maple Ave- 
nue, Wilmette.
