EK CONTINUALLY STRIVE TO PLEASE OUR CUSTOMERS AND JUDGING 
FROM THE MANY FINE LETTERS WHICH WE RECEIVE EVERY YEAR 
FROM SATISFIED CUSTOMERS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE USUALLY SUCCEED. 
BELOW WE PROUDLY PRESENT EXCERPTS FROM SOME OF THESE LET- 
TERS. 
My Iris order arrived the day after I had written to ask about it. The stock is 
the usual good and healthy looking material that [ have grown to look for from 
your place and I am looking forward to a treat come spring. 
I now have twenty four of your plants growing in an inner court yard between 
tall building in the heart of New York City—all have done so well and all the 
neighbors are as eager and delighted with their bloom as I am myself—thanks 
again. 
NEW YORK, N. Y. 
We missed seeing you on our annual visit to your lovely Iris gardens this year. 
We came later than usual and did not expect to find so much beauty and loveliness 
So late in the season, but as always it was breathtakingly beautiful—My order last 
year contained the fine fat rhizomes you always send. 
SCHENKSVILLE, PENNA. 
Your shipment of August 17th reached us the other day and we are pleased to 
report that they all came thru in excellent condition. The quality of your stock is 
very fine and we are very much pleased. 
PITTSBURGH, PENNA. 
Much pleased with the Iris plants which you sent. They are all extra fine and 
strong in every way. Many thanks for the extra ones. 
NEWTOWN, CONN. 
Thank you very much for your prompt shipment of my 1954 Iris order, received 
yesterday. 
Better than 80% of my previous year’s iris produced bloom this year, and we 
were quite delighted with them. There was no borer damage, as we sprayed them 
with Gray’s borer eradicator. 
PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. 
Thought I would write and tell you that the Iris bought from you in August are 
doing fine and made very good growth. Looks like we will get some fine bloom from 
them next spring. Thanks for the nice plants you sent. 
WESTVILLE, OKLAHOMA 
The Iris arrived in fine condition. Your plants are very healthy and clean—we 
will recommend and do business with you again in the future. 
YEADON, PENNA. 
Just a note to tell you that all the rhizomes you sent have made excellent growth. 
One of the pinks actually had five fans on it at the end of the season and all had 
put up two or more. Happy Birthday had three! I must say that your root systems 
are wonderful. I have gotten so enthusiastic that I not only joined the Iris Society 
but am planning a couple of new beds for the newer iris, so I’ll be up again this 
spring. Am anxious to get your 1955 catalog—the old one is nearly worn out! 
ROSE VALLEY, PENNA. 
I received my order today together with the free Iris. They are in good condi- 
tion and are fine strong rhizomes.
