Thousands of our Iris friends have purchased Iris of us. We have never refused a 
just claim, and our theory “That the customer is always right” has been our Golden 
Rule. 
We firmly believe that the Tall Bearded Iris is the most satisfactory flower in 
existence. 
It is easy to grow, increases rapidly to a clump, and gives you a wealth of bloom 
in a short time. 
You always will want the best of everything, after all, that fact will give you the 
most satisfaction. 
We have listed the Finest Things in Irisdom. We have kept our prices down, and 
do not belong to any price fixing combination. 
We do not believe in fixed collections, but allow you to select the collections you 
want in our Sensational Premiums on the next page. Study this carefully, and find out 
for yourself the values you receive. Make your OWN COLLECTIONS. 
Read our Guarantees. We mean everything we say, and your word will always be 
taken of any loss reported. 
We think that this list ef ours contains the finest Iris introduced up to 1953, and no 
future Iris will ever be listed in this Catalog unless it is true, and tried and better than 
anything that has gone before. 
The best of the oldest varieties and the best of the newest varieties are all here 
listed for your pleasure. 
Prices, rhizomes, service, best kind of treatment, and we stand firmly behind any- 
thing we send you. All this is our tris Creed to our friends, our customers. 
If it is good and worth while, we have it. 
NO COLOR PICTURES TO RUN UP THE COST OF THESE FINE THINGS TO 
VOU. 
Yours always for better Iris,
