Fine improved varieties of Peonies, Iris, and Hemero- 
callis take no more work to grow than the poor 
scrubby ones offered in the so-called mail order bar- 
gains. At Mission Gardens we specialize in propagating 
and growing the new improved varieties and those old 
standard ones that have proved their high qualities. 
All descriptions in this catalog are honestly worded in 
an effort to help you form an accurate opinion. 
Our prices reflect the relative availability of various 
specimens. Some new varieties, available in limited 
quantities, reflect in higher prices the labor, sometimes 
for years, that has gone into them. These same varie- 
ties, years from now, may cost much less. 
Other older varieties now in heavy production, cost 
much less but are just as sturdy as the higher priced 
varieties. 
Read the descriptions carefully. Enjoy the sound values 
of the old standard varieties, but each season select 
some of the newer numbers too. Remember that we 
spend years growing and developing the specialties to 
which this book is devoted.
