Dear friends: 
Once again we are approaching the Iris 
Season, and what a wonderful feeling it is. 
Old and new Iris will make their appearance 
in our gardens, and right along with them will 
come old and new friends. 
Perhaps this is ONE of my reasons for loving 
Iris as I do. In this hurry-up world of ours it is 
often difficult to find time for our friends, but 
when spring rolls around and our two acres of 
Iris burst into a fairyland of rainbow colors, I 
know they will beckon in not only old friends 
but new friends. With me they will spend long 
hours wandering through the gardens or sit- 
ting under shady trees, discussing our favorite 
subject: the Iris. 
Your letters, postcards, and Christmas greet- 
ings, in 1952 were very gratifying. I assure you 
that I will endeavor to live up to your expecta- 
tions, and the standard I've set; shipping only 
disease free, accurately named, and well de- 
veloped rhizomes. 
If, however, you have any complaints about 
any shipments in 1953, I hope you'll let me know 
about them. Only by satisfying customers, and 
correcting errors can I hope to succeed in this 
business. 
Sincerely, 
LAURA BURBRIDGE.
