TIME OF SHIPMENT, TERMS, ETC. 



SHIPMENTS will begin July 1st and continue through the sum- 

 mer and early fall. During July and August we will ship con- 

 stantly in the sequence received. Your success is assured if 

 planted any time during this period, but early ordering is ad- 

 visable to avoid stock being sold short. 



TRANSPORTATION is by prepaid parcel post. 



For customers who desire faster service we can offer either of 



two suggestions. 



AIR PARCEL POST — We will ship your order by Air for an 

 additional 30c per plant. 



SPECIAL HANDLING 



This is a Parcel Post surcharge and packages so marked and 

 prepaid are handled the same as letter mail, or nearly so, and 

 thus travel much faster than regular parcels. The fees are 

 based upon weight of the package, as follows: 



Not more than 2 pounds 25c (1 to 3 Iris) 



More than 2 pounds, but 

 not more than 1 pounds 35c (4 to 20 Iris) 



More than 10 pounds 50c (21 to 35 Iris) 



TO CUSTOMERS IN CANADA: We ship many orders to 

 Canada every year. There is a simple procedure which all 

 Canadians must follow, however, in order to import Iris or 

 other plant material. Make out the list of items wanted, state 

 name and address of firm you are ordering from and send it to 

 the Plant Import Division of your Department of Agriculture 

 at Ottawa. They in turn will send you a permit number and 

 labels. Then send your order, including the permit label to us 

 in the usual way. 



CUSTOMERS IN EUROPE AND ALL OVERSEAS POINTS: 



Please add $5.00 to all orders to cover inspection and custom 

 declaration fees. 



WE GUARANTEE ail plants to be true to name, top quality and 

 size, free from insect pests and disease, and to reach you in a 

 live and healthy condition. If for any reason you are not per- 

 fectly satisfied, please notify us promptly. 



MINIMUM ORDER— $5.00 



No Shipments Made During Spring Months. 



Fall Shipping Season Closes in Late October. 



THIS CATALOG is free to all customers of record over a 2-year 

 period, otherwise copies may be obtained for 50c and this 

 amount deducted from your first order. 



TERMS are cash with the order, either check, draft or money 

 order. We do not advise the enclosure of currency with your 

 order. No C.O.D. shipments — this adds to cost and involves 

 red tape for you and for us. 



EXPLANATION OF TERMS USED IN DESCRIPTIONS 



The American Iris Society makes a number of awards annually to 

 outstanding Iris varieties. Each year the highest honor given is the 

 "Dykes Medal." Other awards as follows: 



H.C. "Highly Commended" H.M. "Honorable Mention" 



A.M. "Award of Merit" 

 In order to be eligible for the Dykes Medal an Iris must have pre- 

 viously earned both the Honorable Mention and Award of Merit, the 

 latter two having been separated by a one year interval. 

 Varieties designated as "Plicatas" bear markings of 

 stitches, dots or stipples. A "self" is a flower of one 

 color only. 



Season of bloom is indicated by letters as follows: 

 E, early; EM, early to midseason; M, midseason; 

 ML, midseason to late; L, late; and VL, very late. 

 Height of stem in inches is shown, for example, as 

 36" 



These symbols are approximate, because soil con- 

 ditions, climate and other circumstances must be 

 considered. The total time span of bloom will ex- 

 tend over a period of several weeks from early to 

 very late. 



To our multitude of friends and customers 

 everywhere we present our 46th annual catalog 

 of superb modern Iris. Here in the fertile 

 Willamette Valley of Oregon both soil and 

 climate are favorable to the production of 

 superior plants for the gardens of America and 

 the world. If you find the pictures and 

 contents of this catalog fascinating, just wait 

 'til you see some of them blooming in your 

 garden!
