1$52 IRIS LIST 
GREETINGS FOR 1952: 
Another Iris season is approaching, which gives all of us the urge to again acquaint 
ourselves with our garden favorites. 
This season we are offering you a more complete list which embraces the very best 
of the new, and many of the higher rated old varieties. New ones come on the scene each 
year, but if one does not adopt rigid discrimination, we would soon have our gardens 
filled with just iris. 
We hope your iris garden will display great beauty this season, and that each new 
variety, you see as they unfold their colors, will fully meet with your expectations. 
We are appreciative of the good response you gave us last season and we thank our 
many customers.
