Greetings to our customers and new friends who receive this catalog. As we 
enter our second year as owners of Salina Flower Farms, we want to thank you 
for past orders. We are especially grateful for the tolerance of those who received 
belated orders because of flood conditions last year. As most of you know we were 
in that area where there were days and weeks of almost continuous rains. We were 
unable to get into our fields during a period of approximately ten weeks. We are 
looking forward to a normal season in 1952 and hope to serve you promptly. 
Those of you who received our catalog last year will note the decrease in our 
listing of Iris. We are endeavoring to drop obsolete varieties and concentrate on 
the newer and more popular varieties. 
Now a word about those orders you expect to be sending us soon. We like to 
receive them just as soon as possible after you receive our catalog so we can pro- 
cess them ahead of the rush of digging. Plant orders unlike other commodities 
must be placed ahead of planting time to insure your getting what you want. This 
is especially important this year when we will run short on many of the more 
popular sorts. 
Our orders are booked as received. First come, first served. No stock reserv- 
ed for later shipment. Hence, it is recommended that you place your order early 
and if at all possible give a second choice when ordering. All orders are acknowl- 
edged giving the approximate date of shipment. 
By the end of this season, we hope to have all our plants moved to bur new 
location near Salina, Kansas. The new location is six miles south, three miles west 
and one-half mile north of Salina; or, one mile east and one-half mile north of 
Smolan, Kansas. Our office is located at 129 South 7th, Salina, Kansas. We may 
be contacted at the office by calling telephone No. 9141. Residence No. is 9110. 
We wish all you Iris and Peony lovers could visit us at our new location. Al- 
though, not complete, it is very nice. 
Kansas sunshine, plenty of rain and rich soil make for plenty of fine healthy 
roots. 
Yours for more beautiful Iris and Peonies.
