(nearly) Everything is new!
We grow our iris in a two year rotation so very few of the varieties listed in our 2003 catalog are for sale this year. We hope our customers enjoy the excitement of choosing from an entirely new selection of iris each year.
COME SEE THE IRIS!
You are invited to visit the garden during bloom season, usually late May to early June. Please call or e-mail to be sure someone will be home.

HOW TO ORDER
Either print the order form from this Website, or just list your orders on your own paper. Include payment with the order. Irises will be ready at the end of July. With our late season, we get better plants when we dig a little later than warm weather growers do. We dig all our plants at the same time so that they will all be shipped fresh. You may pick up your plants or pay $6 to have them mailed. Unless you indicate a preference for a refund, substitution will be made for unavailable varieties with plant(s) equal to at least twice the value of the ordered variety.
Generous "EXTRAS" are included with every order.
NO ORDERS CAN BE ACCEPTED AFTER JULY 25.
