MILLIKEN BEARDED 
There is little use in telling you what a wonderful garden plant 
the iris is. By now, everyone knows all about it. We can, and will 
keep you informed and offer you the best of the continually 
improving new ones that each year surprise us with the fact that 
they can be improved. And yet, with all the improvements, we 
keep going back to those older varieties that can’t be replaced 
in our affections or in the quality of flower and effect that they 
alone seem to possess. We are certain that you will find in our 
listing, those particular flowers that will make your garden all you 
have dreamed that you want it to be. 
CALIFORNIA-GROWN RHIZOMES ARE SUPERIOR: Any iris that 
is hardy anywhere, is just as hardy when it is grown and shipped 
from California, BUT with the superior quality our conditions of 
soil and sun can induce. All Milliken plants are unconditionally 
guaranteed to be true to name and to grow in your garden if prop- 
erly planted and cared for. 
SHIPPING TIME: Any time after June 1st until the cold weather 
sets in. We suggest early planting for the colder regions. The 
earlier the planting, the more bloom you will get the following 
year.

more. On orders of less than $5.00, please add 50c to defray costs 
and postage.

OUR GUARANTEE: We absolutely guarantee all of our iris to 
grow in your garden. In case of loss, we shall make prompt re- 
placement when notified. In case of replacements the cost of trans- 
portation will be borne by the purchaser.

tailored flower in an enchanting shade of medium violet, adorned 
with a lovely blue beard. 2% ft. Winter blooms. $1. 
ALI BABA (D. Lyon)—H.M., A.LS. ’54 
A fascinating color symphony, with deep garnet-brown falls and 
slightly lighter standards flushed garnet-brown, is this heavy sub- 
stanced, beautifully formed iris from David Lyon, breeder of 
Char-Maize. We think this is one of his best. $7.50 
MOHR BEAUTY 
IRIS 
VENETIAN RED 
AMANDINE (G. Douglas)—A.M. and Presidents Cup °48

the most amazing ability to withstand that sudden rainstorm, or 
unusually hot day, and still remain cool and fresh. 3 ft. $1.50 
AMERICAN MODERN (Craig) 
A progeny of the famous Joppa Parrot. Olive-ochre standards,
