HEY SAY — 
Of all the flowers I buy, and I buy a great many, your Irises are 
the only ones that are always more beautiful than the wonderful 
colored photos in the catalog. After coming clear across the cont- 
inent, the rhizomes are always in perfect condition, due to the 
careful handling they receive before they start. We are grateful 
to you for the increased joy we derive from our garden since we 
included your beautiful Irises. 
MRS. NORMAN LUSTIC, New York 
It is with pleasure I acknowledge receipt of my second order 
of Iris. They arived so expertly packed and in perfect condition. 
They are such green, fresh and healthy rhizomes. It was such a 
pleasure to plant them. I know my Iris garden will be the show 
place of my neighborhood. I will be very pleased to loan my Iris 
book and recommend them to my friends. 
MRS. K. A. JACKSON, California 
I just want you to know that some of the Iris which I 
ordered from you last summer are blooming beautifully 
already. Our Iris begin blooming the last week of Febru- 
ary and bloom until late May. Among the many in 
bloom now is Rocket which you sent gratis with my 
order. There are three blooms open now and it makes a 
beautiful clump. It increased 16 times! It is my pride 
of the garden so far. MRS. SID BRASWELL, Texas 
Please send me your catalog on Iris for 1952. I ordered two 
of your special orders last year rather late. So far Lothario, Gold- 
en Eagle and Solid Mahogany are in bloom today. I was so 
thrilled this morning when I saw them I simply had to write 
you. They are just “out of this world” as far as beauty is con- 
cerned. Every bulb you sent has a bud.

My Iris arrived yesterday. It was a real thrill to open the pack- 
age and see how well they were packed. Certainly, loving hands 
had handled them! Thank you for the one you sent me “gratis’’. 
These Iris rhizomes are like so many jewels to me. I can hardly 
wait for spring and their blooms. 
MRS. K. R. GREENWOOD, Arizona 
I received my Iris order in perfect condition and thanks very 
much with an extra thank you for the free Iris. I've ordered flow- 
ers for years and this order was in the best thriving condition of 
any I have ever received. I have them set and they are growing 
nicely. MRS. DELLA RICE, Missouri 
My Iris arrived and as usual I was very pleased with them. All 
the rhizomes I have received from you have certainly been of the 
highest quality and size. The ones I received about a month ago 
have begun to put on new growth and they sure look good. I 
do want to thank you for my gratis bulb. I was quite happy 
to receive it as I know it is a very lovely Iris. I am already 
planning on the Iris I want next year so youll be hearing from 
me again in 1953. MRS. W. C. BATES, Indiana 
I received the 12 rhizomes in grand shape and am very pleased 
with them. Elmohr bloomed nicely this year and measured 9 inch- 
es across and was admired by everyone. 
MRS. JOHN A. JOHNSON, Idaho 
Our initial order from your house arrived yesterday in perfect 
condition. The rhizomes were more than we anticipated in size 
even tho your many local customers had tried to describe them to 
us. Thank you so much for your gratis rhizome. It will have a 
special place in our Iris bed. REEVES S. EPRIGHT, Pennsylvania 
The Daylilies you shipped me September 3rd arrived today in 
good shape. I am well pleased with them and thank you for the 
gratis plant. Was almost afraid to order so far but will not fear 
to again. Thanks for the notice you sent of shipping plans and 
dates. MRS. J. A. HIGHSMITH, Tennessee
