Special Offer to Our New Customers 
$1 IRIS FREE WITH YOUR FIRST ORDER 
We want you for our customer! If you will send us that first order 
we are confident that you will buy from us regularly, and tell your 
friends about us too. 
So, if you have not tried Edenwald plants, send us at least a $3.00 
order, not including Collections, and we will add, as a free extra, one 
of the following $1.00 irises: Bandmaster, Blue Shimmer, Master 
Charles, Remembrance, Sable, Ola Kala. 
Should your order consist of daylilies, you may wish to receive one 
of the following daylilies instead: Demon, Golden Grain, Matador 
or Persian Princess. 
Please state your preference and remember—your order must be 
not less than $3.00 not counting Collections. The latter are too heav- 
ily discounted to qualify for any additional premium. 
If your first order amounts to $10.00 or more, exclusive of Collec- 
tions, you may select two of the gift plants listed above. 
Special Offer to Former Customers 
It has been our custom to include free extra plants with orders 
both as a token of our appreciation and to make sure the customer 
receives full and generous value. If the variety so included is already 
among the customer’s collection the gift is pointless and disappoint- 
ing to both customer and ourselves. For this reason we prefer to 
privilege the customer to select extras of his own choice in the amount 
of ten percent of the order (ten cents for each dollar ordered), collec- 
tions excluded. New customers may avail themselves of this offer in- 
stead of the free iris offered above, if preferred, but not both.

OUR HAT IS IN THE RING! 
We're putting on a red-hot campaign for your favor this election 
year! In view of the fact that we haven't received a single campaign 
contribution from the vested interests, or anyone else, we feel sure 
that our support will come strong right from the grass roots. In fact, 
we base our strategy even deeper than that, because iris and daylily 
roots grow deeper than grass roots and our plants develop the strong- 
est and most vigorous roots you can find anywhere. 
Handicapped as we are, by distance and the total lack of campaign 
contributions mentioned, we have to do our hand-shaking and baby- 
kissing by mail, right here in this foreword. This is regrettable, espe- 
cially in regard to the baby-kissing because we get the urge to kiss 
babies even when we’re not campaigning. But you will probably 
agree with us that little babies ought not to be kissed by anyone 
except their parents for sanitary reasons and for reasons of decorum 
if the baby is already full-grown. So if you will act as our proxy and 
give your baby a big hug and a kiss for Edenwald, then we will both 
have something in common and can get right down to the basic issues 
of this campaign. 
WE’VE SERVED TEN YEARS 
Pleasing our customers, that is. For ten short years we have worked 
our heads to the bone figuring out ways to offer better plants and 
better values. We say “short” years because it has been fun and the 
time has just flown. We enjoy growing our acres of fine plants and 
it’s a real pleasure to select the very finest of them to fill your orders, 
and to ship them just as soon as we dare after digging so that you'll 
get them fresh. That way they hardly know they’ve been moved from 
our garden to yours. 
FREE PREMIUMS, BUT GOOD! 
We offer valuable premiums and many bargain Collections. These 
plants are not runts from over-crowded plantings, but the same high 
quality that characterizes all of our shipments. Should you leave the 
selection of varieties to us, we will not palm off on you the ones we 
want to get rid of. Instead, we will choose, carefully, the ones which 
will be most likely to give you pleasure and satisfaction. 
AND THAT’S OUR PLATFORM 
If we err or fail to please you in any way, we stand instantly ready 
to make whatever adjustment may be fair and equitable. Do we get 
your vote in 1952?

ELECT IRISES AND DAYLILIES TOO! 
If you are a beginner in gardening, you will be experimenting with 
all sorts of flowers and you will experience many disillusionments. 
Eventually, you will come to realize that there are no other garden 
flowers as fascinating as iris. Their color range alone is enough to 
set them apart, but there are other qualities equally desirable. They 
are large, yet not coarse; colorful, yet not blatant; glamorous, but 
within reach of any purse. They are graceful, fragrant, floriferous, 
easy to grow and quick to form luxuriant clumps. 
Following the season of iris bloom comes the daylily, the summer- 
flowering perennial supreme! No other flower is making the strides 
in popularity of the modern daylily. The reasons are not hard to 
find. Be sure to read about them farther along in the catalog. 
BACKLOG, BACKGROUND, BACKYARD 
With these two flowers the backlog for your garden, and some 
shrubbery for a background, you can transform your backyard into a 
veritable fairyland. Or paint a living picture that will make your 
picture window real and bring exclamations of delight from friends 
and visitors and admiring glances from the passers-by. 
NEWER VARIETIES ARE MOST EXCITING 
If you are a more experienced grower, you have learned how neces- 
sary it is to your own personal enjoyment to replace the old varieties 
that no longer thrill you, with the newer and more exciting varieties 
that do. Indeed, it is axiomatic that a garden should never be allowed 
to become static but that new plants and new plant combinations 
should constantly be planned to keep your interest fresh and alive. 
COLD FACTS ARE OFTEN WARMEST 
PRAISE 
We always regret that space limitations force us to such brief de- 
scriptions. We'd like to do justice to these beautiful flowers, but the 
wide scope of our listing requires that we give the cold facts and 
little more. Be assured, however, that every plant we list has some 
special quality or attraction that has earned it a place in our catalog. 
It would be obviously impossible to show pictures of more than a 
small sample of the nearly thousand varieties described, so we have 
to depend upon your own imagination to visualize the beauty we so 
inadequately portray.
