OUR OPPORTUNITY 
We take things as we find, but do not leave them so; 
We’re sure to leave behind some changes when we go. 
And so, while we are here we constantly should try 
To make each change a cheer to others ere we die. 
Do much, perhaps all can not, but each one has the power 
At least to make some spot the brighter with a flower! 
—Walter Stager. 
Our sincere thanks go across the miles to Dorothy and William J. Reese who built up these won- 
derful gardens, giving so much of themselves to everyone who enjoys this place, and these Iris, and giving 
us “OUR OPPORTUNITY” to enjoy the magic of the Iris, and the fun of taking care of our many 
customers! May we please you all!
