“Last summer I ordered my first iris from you and they arrived 
in excellent condition, very carefully packed and _ plainly

Mr. John Kielbase

best growers and | can truthfully say that each year | find 
your rhizomes to be larger and better in every way. | have

sent on our last order. They far surpass any we have yet seen.”
