IEE, if IMgs again from the “Cop of the World” 
ONE OF OUR 
MILE-HIGH 
IRIS FIELDS 
Once more we have acres of modern-day Iris growing vigorously 
in our fields and bursting with vitality—all available for your 
selection. Our mile-high climate and favorable soil conditions are 
“tailor-made” for growing outstandingly healthy rhizomes. 
Glowing reports come in every season from customers pleased 
with the way “Top of the World”’ Iris perform in all sections of the 
country. Particularly gratifying are these good reports from sections 
where severe winter conditions demand the most hardy rhizomes. 
If you have never grown any of today’s modern Iris, a treat is in 
store for you. So much progress has been made in the past few 
years that today’s Iris far surpasses its earlier ancestors in size, 
color, branching and growing habits. 
We ship postage prepaid. Every item listed in this catalog is 
prepaid. Shipments start right after the Fourth of July, and con- 
tinue through October. Iris do well when planted any time in this 
period. Some of our mid-western customers prefer to wait until 
September, thus avoiding the extremely hot, dry summer months. 
Unless specified otherwise, orders are shipped in same rotation as 
received. If you wish early shipment, please order as soon as 
possible. 
We have no credit department, so must ask that remittance in 
full accompany each order. Remit by personal check, money order or 
postal note. Do not ask to have Iris sent C.O.D. Means red tape for 
us and greater cost for you. 
Rhizomes are guaranteed to arrive in healthy condition and to be 
true to name. A culture leaflet with many helpful hints is included 
with each order. 
Look over our collections. By grouping Iris we have in good supply 
we are able to offer outstanding values in our collections. There are 
selections to fit every purse. And don’t overlook our money-saving 
group offers. 
“Don’t Delay; Send Today” for an assortment of these beautiful 
Iris. You'll be delighted! 
PLEASE NOTE: (1) We have withdrawn our stock of peonies for 
propagation, so will have none available for sale this season. 
(2) We will not have fall bulbs, such as tulips, hyacinths, crocus, 
etc., for sale this year in order to give full time to our ever- 
increasing iris business.
