Goreword 
To my old customers and new iris friends, I present 
this, my seventh consecutive catalogue for your approv- 
al. 
As in the past, most varieties are priced 1/3 below 
retail, where stocks permit discounts are larger. Com- 
pare my catalogue with others. 
The newer introductions have been marked NET. 
First: because stock is not plentiful. Second: because 
it is considered unethical to cut prices the first three 
years. So. Let’s keep everyone happy. 
Thank you for your many interesting letters and 
nice compliments on my fine rhizomes. I shall con- 
tinue to maintain the same high standard of quality as 
in past years. 
Looking forward to your garden visit and inter- 
esting letters in 1953; Iam 
Sincerely Yours, 
GERTRUDE J. STUETZEL.
