A Customer in Maryland Writes: 
The Iris which I ordered from you last June came to- 
day and I want to tell you as well as others that they 
were the finest roots I have ever received from any place. 
It so happened that today was my birthday which of 
course made me doubly happy. I hope to send you anoth- 
er order next year. 
Yours truly, 
Cecilia M. Raines 
Letters like the above make us very happy too, and we 
appreciate greatly the many kind letters we receive from 
customers who take the time and trouble in this busy 
world to sit down and tell us how pleased they were with 
our stock. We aim to please every customer and if we 
ever cease to do that, we will stop growing iris commer- 
cially and grow a few for our own pleasure only.
