WELL, FOLKS 
Here we are again, but just a little late. We were elected 
to the State Legislature last fall and it continued in 
session until this date. We were unable to secure help 
that could go along with the work so we were delayed 
in getting out this catalog and for the same reason were 
unable to send lists of Chrysanthemums of which we 
had many new varieties. However, we will fill all orders 
for Chrysanthemums we have on hand. 
Next year you will find us in position to handle the 
business as in the past. 
While we have only issued catalogs the past three 
years, we have received orders from nearly every state. 
We have many customers who ordered from our first 
catalog and have continued each year since, sending us 
larger orders each time. This shows that they have been 
ices pleased with the quality of plants and bulbs sent 
them. 
We appreciate orders, eae or small. 
We have moved our Gardens to the South edge of 
Constantine at the intersection of White Pigeon and 
Washington Streets. 
THE IRIS 
is the Ideal Hardy Perennial 
The growing of Iris becomes a habit that continues 
to grow and grow. ‘You can hardly wait to see the new 
Iris in bloom. 
Iris will grow in almost any soil. Requires little at- 
tention. Will thrive in half sun and half shade. Plant 
from 18 to 24 inches apart, and cover with not more than 
one inch of dirt. 
The best time to plant is from July 1st to September 
15th. although they can be planted up to the time the 
ground freezes. In most instances bulbs planted, this 
year will bloom next. 
This year our Iris will all be first year roots which 
are the best.
