Excerpt from "Worth While," Peonies, Iris and Gladiolus, 1928 Being ambitious to have our catalogue a criterion of quality, we have given a great deal of thought to the varieties of Peonies, Irises and Gladioli we list. In our trial grounds at Brie Blan the country home of A. G. Britsch, we have been growing for observation, during the past fifteen years, the new introductions of the world's best hybridizers. New varieties are subjected to a most careful criticism, and each year, varieties that have been superseded by something better, are eliminated from our list. The varieties retained as Worth While are grown on as part of the stock of the Wales Road Gardens and offered here for your selection. Our Exhibition and Trial Gardens, located on Wales Road, just beyond the East Toledo City limits, are always open to visitors, and we wish that all those interested might visit them. The easiest road of approach is, drive to the end of Oak Street, jog right, left on Tracy Street 3 - 4 mile to Wales Road, turn right to Gardens; or, drive one mile south from Miami street on Oregon Road, turn left on Wales Road.
