Catalogue of Choice Iris 1932

Qraham Iris Qarden

Lincoln, Nebraska

4410 Judson Street

(greetings

We ask all iris lovers who can do so to plan to visit our iris gardens in 1932 some time in May when the display is at its best. Of course the dwarfs begin near the end of April and are followed by the intermediates and the tall bearded, ending near the first of June with the Japanese and the Sibereans. Our Sass garden will interest you. Then we have many of the choice new ones as Grace Sturtevant, Sir Michael and others. Of course this list does not describe all we grow. Write us for information on iris if you do not find the in¬ formation you wish in this list.

We believe the very best way for you to select your iris is to visit our gardens when the iris are in bloom and select the varieties you want. Hundreds visit our gardens and make a study of the varieties. To make this easy for visitors we have made extensive changes in the arrangement of our plantings. Labels are large and easily read.

Our gardens are in that portion of Lincoln formerly known as University Place and are 4 blocks north and 4 blocks west of the Public Library. We most cordially invite you to visit these gardens at any time.

If you have not become acquainted with the beauties of the iris you have missed one of the joys of life. For a very small investment you can secure a fine collection and have the pleasure of seeing a wonderful display in your own garden. No vagary of the weather will keep the iris from blooming each year. Neither frost nor heat will prevent the plants from going through their regular cycle of growth, rest and bloom.

While iris can be planted at any time, the experi¬ enced grower in the plains prefers to plant soon after the blooming season. The plants then become estab¬ lished before the arrival of the hot and dry weather later on. The plants are then able to form flower buds for the coming season. This does not hold true for late planting.

BARGAIN HUNTERS

Price is the main appeal to some people. They shop around to see how cheap they can get their plants. Quality or whether they are true to name is given sec¬ ondary consideration. Such people are on the wrong track. There is as much difference in iris roots as there is in suits of clothes, etc. Our prices are as low as it is possible to make them and still give good stock, true to name.
