iridescent Eris: July to November 
MARGIE LONG IN ONE OF OUR IRIS FIELDS 
We are among the largest growers of fine Iris in the world. Every year we add new 
varieties to our already wonderful list of breath-taking beauties. 
Our 1953 list will contain the best of the kinds in the 1952 list, plus many new ones you 
have been waiting for. 
Also, many prices will be reduced so much that you need not wait longer to have them 
in your own gardens. This applies especially to the newer kinds that are always high for 
a few years or more. 
Summer and fall is the ideal time for dividing the clumps and setting out the new 
“toes.” We start digging and shipping right after we finish celebrating our country’s birth- 
day on the Fourth of July. From then until November we send out these glorious new Iris 
to all parts of the United States. 
Our 1953 Iris catalogue, with many varieties pictured in natural color, will be mailed 
around the first of May. If you have ordered iris, seeds or any other merchandise from us 
within the last two years you will be sent a copy automatically. If in doubt, drop us a 
card and we will reserve a catalogue for you.
