Click Picture to Enlarge

COVER: This 8.5" x 11" catalog is a representation of one of the early color catalogs. The cover depicts the garden of Mr. Harold Knowlton in Auburndale, Massachusetts.

GREETING: Glamorously colorful, you can do so much for your garden with this flower. As you go through the catalog page by page we hope you will participate with us in enjoying the thrills of Iris. Were it possible we would try to capture their faint fragrance and the luminosity of a freshly open bloom all sparkling with dew. We have made every effort to show varieties in true to life colors to help you plan and visualize the beauty and fairyland you can make of your own Iris garden.
     We are humbly grateful to our many friends and customers. Your generous patronage and fine letters are heart warming. We feel we are singularly blessed to have this association and we will do our best to tell you more about the glory of Iris.
