THE VERY FINEST WASHINGTON - GROWN 
~ TALL BEARDED 
IRIS 
1953 
GREETINGS to our many friends and customers. Although our garden is not as 
large as many others and it does not pay us to put out an elaborate catalog, it is a 
well known fact that there are no finer Iris plants obtainable than those we send out. 
This year we have enough stock of the finest of the Iris varieties to be able to offer 
you some super, money-saving specials—on next page. The Symposium is included 
to help those who do not get to see the Iris in bloom before they buy. (You can al- 
ways rely on those Irises being the finest in existence.) We are careful to list only 
the best of the Irises as many varieties are not worth space, much less the high 
prices asked for them. If you live near enough so that you can, do come and visit us.
