Foreword 
E TAKE PLEASURE in sending our 10th Anniversary Catalog. Since a 
tenth birthday is always rather a special event, we are helping to make 
it one by improving our catalog this year with the addition of some 
attractive color plates which we hope you will enjoy. 
We are also going all out this year to put on the finest Iris display 
that we have ever had. Nature cannot be hurried so it has taken consider- 
able time and thought to develop and landscape our gardens the way we 
wanted to have it since moving to this location seven years ago. It now is 
becoming to have a more mellow, established look and a fit setting for the 
many beautiful new Iris creations that it contains. 
To our growing number of customers we extend greetings and offer 
our sincere thanks for your valued patronage and support. The many fine 
orders, in increasing numbers of the past years, have enabled us to grow to 
the point where we can now say that we have one of the finest commercial 
lris Gardens in the east. We have also proven that good Iris which will 
give customers top quality performance in their gardens can be raised 
here in this part of the country as well as on the West Coast. 
We look forward to hearing from and seeing our old customers and 
friends this coming season. We hope that your Iris will give you much 
pleasure and a few thrills this Spring — enough so that you will want to 
add some of the wonderful newer varieties to your plantings. 
To you who have requested this catalog — we hope that you will see 
fit to send us a trial order. We pledge that it will receive the best of atten- 
tion from the time of a prompt acknowledgement to the time the Iris order 
reaches your door. We feel certain that you will be so pleased with the 
results in your garden that you will be an Iris fan and a Cherry Hill cus- 
tomer as well for years to come.

THE BEST TIME 
At our location the early varieties start 
Do Come and See Us 
The latchstring is always out: you are as 
welcome as the flowers! To fully appreciate 
the full charm, beauty and grace of modern 
bearded Iris they must be seen—pictures and 
descriptions in print are poor substitutes for 
the actual viewing. So by all means pay us a 
visit during the blooming season if you are 
within driving distance. We have many visi- 
tors who come two and three times every 
season and from considerable distances. We 
urge you to make the effort because we feel 
certain that you will find it worthwhile. You 
may come and just browse around to your 
heart’s content if you want to. No pressure 
whatsoever is made on a visitor to place an 
order — except of course by the Iris them- 
selves. (See map on page 36.) 
blooming the middle of May and the later 
varieties finish blooming by the middle of 
June. The best period to come in order to see 
almost all in bloom is from May 21st to 
June 6th. The peak bloom period usually is 
May 28th to June 2nd. We are always about 
six days behind the Philadelphia area—so 
kindly note that fact Philadelphians! The 
reason for this is due mostly to our higher 
exposed location. If you are in doubt as to 
the best time, suggest that you telephone us 
before coming—Tel. Springtown 6-7836. 
THE PLACE 
Our gardens are located one-half mile west 
of Route 212 in upper Bucks County at 
Pleasant Valley; watch for turn at the north 
end of the village. Our sign posts will guide 
you when nearing Pleasant Valley. 
PLEASE NOTE 
If You Visit Our Gardens During The Blooming 
Season, And We Hope That You Will, Kindly 
Bring This Catalog With You When You Come.
