As we move into our fifth year of commercial 
iris growing, we are very happy to announce that 
your continued support has made possible the ,moving 
Of .0ur plantings to larger! and more adequate quar-— 
ters. Our new location, easily accessible t6 both 
Minneapolis and St. Paul, is now at 1707 - 77th 
Avenue North, Minneapolis, only about 3/4s of a 
mile west of West River Road (Lyndale Ave. North) 
on 77th Avenue North. 
As in the past; we ehate apneinios to list 
cnly those varieties that we know will do well in 
Minnesota gardens. Throughout the years we have 
grown several hundred iris introductions in our 
gardens on a test basis, and as a result have dis— 
carded many varieties that just won't perform well 
here. The ones that did perform well you will find 
listed on the pages of this catalog. 
As you look through this catalog you will 
notice that we have added quite a few near Dwarf 
varieties. This was done because of the great de- 
mand for them. The dwarfs are rapidly approaching 
the pepularity already attained by the tall bearded 
sorts, and as they are among the first of the 
spring flowers to bloom, they will prove to be a 
welcome addition to your garden. 
We are short stocked on several of the va- 
rieties listed in this catalog and will unquestion- 
ably sell out of many of them, so may we suggest 
that you place your order early to avoid disappoint- 
ment.
