ABOUT OUR IRIS OFFERINGS 
Waldean Farm is less than a half hour’s drive 
from the huge steel mills of Gary. Many of our | 
best young men, even before they finish high school, 
find employment there or in similar industries. The | 
labor, they find, is less arduous and the “take | 
home” pay more enticing. 
From an original six acres of Iris, including 
hundreds of standard varieties, we have gradually 
reduced our holdings to a half acre or less, in con- | 
formity with local labor conditions. Our custom- | 
ers have had the benefit of savings as high as 50 
per cent during the years this liquidation has 
been taking place. Similar savings can be yours— 
if you order at once, while our supply of Iris lasts. 
We ask that wherever possible you suggest sub- 
stitute varieties, in case desired variety is sold out. 
Where no substitution will be accepted, mark your 
order accordingly so that immediate refund can be 
made where-supply is exhausted. 
We appreciate the business sent to us throughout 
the years, and thank you in advance for your 1952 | 
orders.
