Greetings... o

Once again the seasons hove rolled around. This year marks the 20th year 
have been engaged in the growing of iris... all pleasurable years and 
from the standpoint of the many fine garden friends we have made and also from 
the standpoint of growing such an entrancing garden favorite, the IRIS. 










However, this season we have decided to close out our 
entire nursery stock as rapidly as possible and to retire fro 
the strenuous round of supervision and activities incide 
to operating a general farm and a nursery containing 
“World’s Largest Collection” of Iris varieties, ‘a 
This may come as somewhat of a shock to our 
flower friends and we regret that we cannot carry o 
interesting work and to serve you in the future. We b 
that you will be able to make new connections amon 
many fine growers and dealers handling a similar li 
products. A perusal of any of the current garden mags 
will give the names of reliable dealers. Oe, oe 








We again want to thank our 
thousands of customers for the 
fine orders sent in last year. Our 
mail man was. still sweating 
plenty last year trying to keep up 
with both the incoming and out- 
going mail. Fern E. Geiser again 
supervised an office crew of three, 
and attempted to keep up with 
the correspondence. This year we sé 
expect our mail to be as heavy or 
heavier due to the many who may #4 
wish to take advantage of our 
extraordinary low prices which 
cannot be duplica.ed elsewhere. 
This year we are accepting 
orders for filling only in order of 
rotation received; first come, first 
served, No stock reserved for later 
shipment and once the variety is 
sold out, it will not again be 
stocked. 
Now a word about our show gardens. We don’t maintain # ge he 
fancy exhibition plots. We have found that we can spend toog 
much time and money keeping such things up—the cost of which; 
would have to be passed on to you flower lovers. Hence whenf 
you. come around, bring your hiking shoes (and maybe over-} 
shoes) and an ample lunch for you won't be able to make thef 
rounds all in 10 minutes. In one day this year we had over 3,750} 
visitors—if you pay us a visit try to come on some day other} 
than Sunday to avoid the crowd. 


Again last year we were able to reset a ey 
plenty of Kansas sunshine, makes for plenty of fi 
big healthy roots. We don’t claim to grow the lai 
est roots in the world but we do believe we have 
hardiest and the best acclimated roots which will d 
well anywhere! \) Se
