CLSVENGER'S IRIS GAROFN 
IRIS and H®FROCALLIS

Greetings to all Iris and Hemerocallis lovers: 
Several years ago I conceived the idea that a lot of peonle would 
raise iris from seeds if they only knew where to get seeds that were 
worth while. I arvertised the idea and was flooded with requests for 
my folder. Every year since I have made many crosses using only the 
best parents available. I have sold seed in nearly every state, and 
Canada. JI have shinned seed to Australia ani South Africa. Reports 
from customers are very encouraging. Some have reported unusual 
breaks especially in the pinks, Why not? Nature has no secrets. 
You are just as likely to get a break as anybody else. You will also 
get a lot of just mediwm grade, That's Mendelism. 
If you like to experiment and gamble a little, why not try your 
luck this year by purchasing a vackage of seed. 
Hemerocallis, or day lillies, are coming to the front in gardens 
by leaps and bounds, 
This wonderful flower blooms when the garden is usually devoid 
of bloom, in July and August. They may be had now in many colors, 
forms and heights. They may be had in red (many shades), orange, 
yellow, pink, rose, two tone, eyed varieties and so on, If you 
have not tried raising them from seed, you have a surprise and a 
treat waiting for you. They are very easy to raise, usually 
blooming the second year after planting seed, if given good care. 
Why not try raising some from seed? 
IRIS SEED 
This season I am furnishing only one class of seed--- the best 
to be had. ‘The price asked is very low for quality seed. I am 
using only the very finest parents in my crosses. For pinks I use 
Cloud Cap, Cherie, Pink Cameo, Twilight Sky, Pink Sensation, Hit 
Parade, and many others of this class. I use some of my own pink 
seedlings that are outstanding. Some of my crosses are back- 
crosses with the yellow, This will give about half yellow and half 
pink, The seed from these crosses have produced wonderful results, 
Special crosses cannot be made as I do not have time to do them. 
25 Seeds, assorted---~-~~-~----------------------- $2.00 
If you want seed from crosses for yellows, whites, blues, blends, 
etc,, then order these colors. I can usually supply mixed seeds from 
excellent crosses, In these crosses I use only the latest and best 
breeders, such as Blue Rhythm, Great Lakes, Ola Kala, Midwest Gem, 
Matula, Rocket, Sylvia Murray, Pierre Menard, Voodoo, Lynn Langford, 
The Capitol, Katherine Fay, Lady Boscawen, and others of this classe
