WE GREET YOU 
We are happy to present the 1949 edition of “An Iris Lover’s Catalog.” The 
remarkable growth in popularity of the Iris is certainly well deserved. Many fine 
and varied hybrid types, such as illustrated on these pages, are available to the 
discriminating gardener. ‘These modern Iris in your garden will be a source of 
unbounded joy. We have aimed to assemble the finest creations in our list. It is 
exciting to grow and test the new novelties from the many hybridizers and to 
see what’s new. Each year we make several interesting finds which we add to our 
listing. Such discoveries are the high spots of gardening experience and no two 
years are ever alike. This past year the flowering of the new Iris PINNACLE 
was the high spot of the season. What will the 1949 flowering season bring? How 
exciting and interesting a hobby this flower growing can be! The amazing 
versatility of the Iris is exemplified, for instance, on page 2 in arrangement 
indoors and on pages 32 and 33 we present some interesting planting suggestions 

for the garden, either formal or informal design, as you prefer. 
Zest is added to our summer garden by the Hemerocallis (Daylily) family. 
On page 44 we see the happy combination of a Daylily and Iris planting. We 
are very enthusiastic about this superb summer flowering perennial. The array 
of different colors, types and blooming seasons enriches our garden. It’s an 
exciting adventure to grow these new garden Cinderellas. 
To our many customers and friends we extend thanks for the fine business 
you have given us this past year. We appreciate the strong bond of friendship 
with our customers and we hope our flowers will help to make the world a bit 
more beautiful.
