Dear Flower Friend:

HERE IS GOOD NEWS FOR YOU because no doubt you love
the IRIS which is regarded as among the three most
popular flowers in America. Proud stately , —
magnificent, the IRIS commands a premier position
in the garden, among the rocks or at the edges of
pools. Hardy , --prolific and beautiful and very adapt¬
able for use in beds and borders, along drive-ways,
etc. --in the yard and in the garden. Its wide range
of colors makes it a favorite for use either in
single clusters or borders and when used for cut
flower purposes in vases either alone or used with
other flowers, it is most artistic.

This is the flower of grandeur I offer you in my
Golden Anniversary Collection. Twenty-one all dif¬
ferent, including that marvelous variety "MOTHER OF
PEARL" considered generally one of the very finest.
This variety was introduced but a few years ago at
$25.00 each. It is a lovely flower, delicately
colored, of marvelous shape and great size and
beauty when properly grown. Then, there are twenty
other kinds in this offer, beauties every one of
them, ranging in colors from soft, delicate lavenders,
creams and violets to dashing shades of purples, reds
and blues. A WONDERFUL COLLECTION made possible by
mass production. If I were to make up special orders
of these kinds the cost would be very much greater,
in fact they would have a retail value of over $8.00.
Consequently this is an unusual opportunity for you
to obtain this fine selection of IRIS VARIETIES at
a cost of only $2 prepaid. Hundreds of comments
have come from my customers who are lavish in their
praise of similar offers in former years. I antici¬
pate even greater interest in this GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
OFFER .

Your order should be placed at once in order to
make sure of delivery as the number of my offers are
limited. You may order more than one collection.

IRIS HAVE GAINED WORLD WIDE POPULARITY

Because of the remarkable orchid-like beauty and their ease of culture Iris
have come into great favor the world over. The ever increasing popularity of
rock gardens and pools has done much to popularize the iris. Every flower
garden should have an abundance of iris as it greatly enhances the beauty of
the setting. Few flowers have the range of gorgeous colors, the aristocratic
beauty and stately manners.
