cordially invited to visit our gar- 
zn you take your outing up in the 
‘country. I especially invite you at 
ne, which this year will extend through 
| and probably most of May. To catch 
ris at their best, drop us a postal at 
sking that you be notified shortly be- 
peak of bloom—or telephone Placer- 
J-2. Many of you will receive this 
in the summer, too late to see our 
plays. If you would like to plan to 
in 1951, just put a note on your order, 
_that you be notified next spring. 
Each spring our Garden is aglow with 500 
eties of Iris, rivaling the Rainbow itself. 
year well over a thousand people came 
‘all parts of California and neighboring 
es to enjoy this colorful display. Our 
jen in bloom is a wonderful place to take 
pictures. 
~ Our gardens are on a hilltop among the 
‘evergreens, not far from the Lincoln Highway, 
US. 50, the road to Lake Tahoe. After passing 
e Highway Patrol Office (California Depart- 
ent of Motor Vehicles) on the eastern out- 
irts of Placerville, watch closely for our sign 
1 the left, on Carson Road, opposite the 
Broadway Motel. Follow our signs to the 
gardens, about three miles. Bring your Iris- 
loving friends. Let them, too, enjoy our un- 
folding pageant of beauty. We'll be looking 
for you. 
anadian Orders—To import Iris into Can- 
da you have only to advise your Dept. of 
Agriculture at Ottawa, stating that you wish

necessary permit will be sent you. We prepay 
_ the postage to Canada, just as for the US.
