You Can Make Your Homea CARNIVAL of COLOR 
PURPLE! 
WHITE! 
BLUE! PINK! 
RED! YELLOW! 
Yes, you can paint a breath-taking picture... 
with living paints. Splash the color to suit yourself, 
with subtle blendings or splashes of contrast. Ex- 
perienced gardener or newest tyro, you have a rich 
experience awaiting you. Don't waste another 
year — start your Iris planting soon. 
The newer, finer varieties of Iris are hardly recog- 
nizable as descendants of the little “flags’’ of 
Grandmother's day. The blooms are so massive, 
grow so tall and strong, and present such a thrill- 
ing range of color. Veinings, stipplings and edg- 
ings in beautifully contrasting tones add still more 
to the exciting variety of our new Iris. 
Grown in Mile-high Colorado, these fine new Iris 
are all hardy and easy to grow. But you should 
make your selections now, for even though we 
start the season with good supplies of all varieties, 
the most popular are sure to be sold out long be- 
fore planting time.
