MILLIKEN 
In the summer of 1948 we moved our entire stock of iris and 


daylily plants out to our new 22-acre field which is located in 
the heart of the famous Pomona Valley where many Nurseries 
and Seed Companies have their growing grounds, Here the soil 
is deep and rich, and even we were surprised at the size which 
eur year-old plants attained. We were proud of the stock which 
we sent out last season, and this season much of it looks even 
better. 
CALIFORNIA GROWN IRIS ARE HARDY 
We are often asked if MILLIKEN IRIS are hardy in cold 
sections of the country. With the exception of a few varieties 
which we have listed as tender, our Iris are PERFECTLY 
HARDY in all parts of the country. MILLIKEN IRIS are un- 
conditionally GUARANTEED to be true to name, and to grow 
in your garden.

after June Ist to suit your convenience.

A CORDIAL INVITATION is extended to you to visit our 
gardens at any time of the year. Our “Show Garden” here in 
Arcadia, originally part of the famous “Lucky Baldwin Rancho”, 
provides a perfect setting for our Iris and Hemerocallis plantings. 
Paths wind among the rare old Englemann oaks, whose shade 
Boaane saeeteT provides an ideal home for our lovely. Louisiana Iris, and in the 
half-shade you will find a very complete planting of Hemero- 
callis. The Bearded Iris are here given their “Place-in-the-Sun”— 
out in the open, in great drifts of color.

MILLIKEN 
New Permanent Label 
This is the finest permanent gar- 
den label on the market. The name 
plate is an aluminum tape % inch 
wide with raised letters. The holder 
is spot-welded to a heavy galvanized 
iron wire 30 inches in length and 
both holder and wire stake are fin- 
ished in a durable dark green 
lacquer. Not conspicuous in the gar- 
den but easily read at a distance of 
10 feet. 
We believe this is an ideal label 
because it is always in a position 
easy to read and because it is en- 
tirely weather-proof. Simply send us 
the names of the irises or other 
plants for which you desire labels.
