WELCOME to our garden, whether your visit be by correspondence or in 
person. Once again we are privileged to say to our old friends and customers 
‘Hello, again’ and to our new ones, ‘“‘We’re pleased to have you with us.” 
And once again our catalog is simple and inexpensive—simple and inex- 
pensive for us to print and simple and inexpensive for you to order from. 
Here’s how our now famous ‘“‘Across-the-board’’ collection offer works: 
INTRODUCING MR. MOON 
(Weed 1955) M 54” $15.00 
Our new Iris for 1955 results from a cross of Snow Flurry X National 
White and truly reflects the quality of its parentage. 
Standards and falls, ruffled and of clear white are borne on sturdy, well 
branched stalks. The beard is a soft yellow and the foilage is tall and glossy 
dark green and grows Close to the stalks. 
Mr. Moon is the tallest Iris in our garden, majestically reaching for his 
namesake from heights up to 62 inches.
