RIGID TESTS 
ON OUR OWN PROVING GROUND 
Seven and one-half miles east of Main street in Tulsa, on Eleventh 
Street, which is Highway “66”, Mr. C. W. Terry and his wife Bess, 
own the most outstanding Scenic Beauty and Show Place of the 
Southwest. They are pleased to call it Terry’s Experimental Farm. 
On this place rigid tests are carried out for our Tulsa Wire Products 
Company, the storage of finished wire products, with room for ex- 
pansion of our various interests. Also the largest and finest IRIS 
GARDEN in the Southwest. 
It consists of only 7/2 acres; but in buildings, farm machinery, and 
labor to run it, it surpasses many 640 acre farms; so intensively is 
it cultivated. A winding creek in the form of an “S” traverses the 
middle of the place; the top and bottom of the ‘S” parallels the 
east and west sides just over the fence, the crooked part through 
the middle. The creek is about twenty feet wide with a first bot- 
tom of about 100 feet width, making an ideal setting for a 112 foot 
swinging bridge. About a hundred foot swath of large and tall 
native trees of elm and pecan meander along with the creek. In 
the bends on either side nestle the buildings pertaining to the busi- 
ness. Hundreds of loads of thick limestone have been moved in 
along the creek bank and around a lily pond which empties into the 
creek, to make a rock garden of unsurpassed beauty. Some of the 16 
inch thick rocks measure up to 8x 15 feet. Rock garden plants of all 
kinds, moss, ferns and water lilies abound. We grow over 370 va- 
rieties of top quality new Hybrid Iris, and after 9 years we have 
thousands of clumps. Thousands of Plant Supports and Markers are 
used. After experimenting for years with all kinds, we find that 
Terry's Plant Supports, and Terry’s Plant Markers in the four sizes, 
take care of all our needs, and is practically an everlasting marker 
with the changeable name plates. 
Our thousands of Visitors every year, and especially at Iris bloom- 
ing time certainly appreciate strolling through and being able to 
identify each variety by these Easy to Read Picture Frame Markers. 
By using the right size they do not detract, but rather add to the 
beauty, and will make any Garden, large or small, much more :n- 
teresting.
