is extended to you to visit the National Iris Gardens founded by Howard Weed. 
We would like to welcome you especially during the month of May, when the Iris are blooming. 
An unusual feature of our gardens is the concentration in the show rows of eight hundred different varieties of Iris. You can see them 
as they will grow in your own garden. 
This year we are privileged to have the annual convention of the 
American Iris Society meet in Portland, Oregon. Their visit at the 
National Iris Gardens is to be on Sunday, May 15th. 
OUR SHOW GARDENS AND FIELDS 
Our show gardens and fields are located on the north slope of 
Cosper Mountain, three and one-half miles south of Aloha on Wheeler 
Avenue. Follow Jefferson Street out of Portland. Canyon Road is a 
continuation of Jefferson Street going West. At the signal light in 
Aloha turn South, following Wheeler Avenue up to our fields. 
You can find our office at Fourth and Main Street, Beaverton, 
Oregon (Phone: Beaverton 4574). 
Our climate is mild, with plenty of moisture and a long growing 
season. We are fortunate indeed in having our Iris grown in Oregon 
and Washington, where there is just enough winter to enable the 
rhizomes to become perfectly hardy.
