reeling from Jnistand 

IN THE HEART OF THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY 
This year we are pleased to bring to our friends an extensive list of the new Flamingo 
pink introductions. Among the leading hybridizers of these subtle shades of pink are David 
Hall, Orville Fay, and Jacob Sass. Outstanding in our list are Pink Cameo, which received the 
Award of Merit, A.I.S. 1948, and Cherie, voted the second most popular iris in the A.I.S. 
convention, 1948. 
All flower lovers are invited to visit our garden. The blooming time for the bearded iris 
begins early in April, but our season is extended by the Louisianas, Douglasianas, and Spurias. 
These will be followed by our display of many new varieties of Hemerocallis. 
Thank you, good friends and customers, for your patronage, we appreciate it.
