FOREWORD 
Greetings and salutations to flower lovers everywhere! It is with consider- 
able pleasure that I bring you this, our sixth annual catalog, and wish you, 
each and every one, health, wealth and happiness—and continuing success wiih 
your gardens—wherever you are. Thanks a million for your wonderful letters, 
and even more wonderful orders—we love them! 
This year we are using new pictures which I took during the 1951 season, 
and are listing a number of new varieties and hope that they meet with your 
approval. , 
Thanks to the modern hybridizers, irises have become the loveliest garden 
flower of all, unrivalled in color, form and ease of culture, and within the pages 
of this catalog you will find over 200 of the world’s finest varieties listed. You 
will make no mistake in ordering these lovely flowers, for they have been 
carefully selected and even more carefully grown. 
You—and your friends—are always welcome at our garden. Peak bloom is 
usually about the middle of May, and this year the commercial plantings as well 
as my own seedlings will be found at our home at the extreme end of North 
16th Avenue. Turn north from Fruitvale Boulevard (the Chinook Pass Highway) 
and cross the River road to the third house on the right. Our telephone number 
is 3-3935. Be seeing you! 
Sincerely, 
Jack G. Linse
