Hunting Jor a Gift? 
Unlike nearly all other gifts, those for the garden grow and increase and become ever 
more beautiful with the passing of the years. So, when you are wondering what to give 
gardening friends for Christmas, birthdays, wedding, anniversaries, etc, why not choose 
from the wide selection of Iris available here? Or have us send that gardening friend a box 
of our Permanent Labels, or one of our Hybridizing Kits. The Kits are also just ‘super’ for 
that high school or college boy who would like to follow in the footsteps of Luther Burbank. 
We furnish a gift card unless you wish to supply your own. We send gifts postpaid to any 
part of the United States to arrive just in advance of the day that you specify. Please note, 
however, the seasons during which different items may be shipped. 
GARDEN CLUBS USING MANUAL 
“Just now the Horticultural group of our Garden Club is organizing for a year’s study of 
Iris, and I have been appointed the leader. It occurs to me that your Manual would make 
an excellent textbook or handbook for our work.”’—J.B.N., Oswego, Oregon. 
“I belong to the A.LS., also to an Iris Study Club in Portland. Different members have 
received your most wonderful Manual and find it so helpful in the study of Iris.’"—Mrs. W-F., 
Portland, Oregon, 
“You are to be congratulated on preparing this magnificent manual. You have me quite 
excited about the possibilities of crossing the various Arils with the tall bearded. How I 
wish I had started growing these exotic plants ‘way before this.'"—C.W.B., St. Louis, Missouri.

GARDEN CLUBS, ATTENTION! 
My Iris Manual as the Ideal Textbook 
for Iris Study Groups 
My Iris Manual has been out less than a 
year, but apparently it fills a long-felt need, 
for already it is being widely adopted by 
Garden Clubs and Iris Study Groups in all 
parts of the country as the most comprehen- 
sive and up-to-date treatise available on 
growing and hybridizing all types of Iris. My 
Catalog and Manual are becoming so well 
known that many groups of Iris lovers are 
now using both regularly. But, in case your 
group is not familiar with them, send me the 
name of the group and! will send the catalog 
and the Manual without charge if you merely 
agree to see to it that both are passed around 
at a meeting, or otherwise made readily 
available to the members. I want to make it 
easy for ALL of your people to see what I 
have to offer. Then the group can decide if. 
it wishes to adopt the Manual as the official 
Iris-study textbook, and each person can 
judge for himself if it is what he really needs. 
Write today and be the one to bring this 
material to your club’s attention. 
Club secretaries interested in this proposal 
should write for my special club rates on 
Manuals, and for my special discounts to 
clubs whose members wish to purchase Iris 
as a group. 
I am giving you at the left below extracts 
from letters of two enthusiastic members of 
garden clubs where my Manual is being used. 
Multicolored HYBRID BROOM Seed 
Next to our Iris, our Multicolored Hybrid 
Brooms (Cytisus) receive the most exclama- 
tions of delight from visitors. Our seed is of 
the famous strain developed by Prof. S. B. 
Mitchell. Contains wide array of brilliant, 
contrasting colors—red, gold, apricot, rose, 
buff, white, orange, etc. Many striking bicol- 
ors in the mixture. Very rapid growing—you 
get a full-grown 6-foot shrub in 2 years from 
seed. Our customers tell us this broom can 
also be used very nicely as a clipped hedge. 
For westerners and others in fairly mild 
climates ... Here’s a suggestion which, if car- 
ried out, will bring interested queries from 
every visitor to your garden. Sow half a 
packet of these seeds over a circular area 
about 15 inches in diameter. As soon as seed- 
lings bloom, thin out, leaving about eight, to 
give greatest possible variety in colors. They 
will soon grow together into what appears to 
be one large bush. Everyone will exclaim, 
and want to know how you obtained so many 
bright colors on one bush. Try it. 
Packet of about 300 seeds—75c. 3 for $2.00.
