VISIT OUR GARDENS 



OUR BLOOMING SEASON should be about right, May 10 to 25. We do little local business, and 

 will be glad to have you visit us during the Iris season to look over our stock, see the new ones 

 in bloom, inspect the seedlings on trial, and exchange views. We expect to flower many unintro- 

 duced things from the Sass Brothers, sent to us for trial, as well as a few seedlings of rare merit 

 from Dr. Ayres and Mr. Lapham. Also, we imported several outstanding foreign varieties this year from 

 France and Euulaml and hope to have bloom on them. There will be King Solomon and Egypt, Senlac, 

 Dogrose, Columbine, Hassan, Carfax; and from Cayeux, Phebus, Ministre F. David, as well as Vert Galant, 

 Frivolite, and the incomparable Depute Nomblot. The Kleinsorge seedlings ah\'ays prove a magnet to 

 Silverton visitors, and in addition to Klamath, Oregon Seauty and Oregon Giant, there will be some re- 

 markable new ones blooming for the first and second year. 



About May 20 R. M. Cooley will leave for the Atlantic Coast and New England, to visit the growers 

 and to look over new introductions and seedlings. During the last two years this quest for the best has 

 carried him some 10,000 miles among the growers o'l the Pacific Coast, the Mid-West, a portion of the 

 South, and the region about the Great Lakes. Thus we try to give our customers and all interested in 

 _ Irises first hand and authentic information in this field. 



TERMS, ETC. 



This list is intended for the wholesale trade only, 

 and is placed in your hands at this time so that you 

 may have an opportunity to include items in your 

 own catalogue which you x^ossibly do not grow your- 

 self, or which you have in insufficient quantity. We 

 make a specialty of growing irises for the wholesale 

 trade, and supply only first quality Oregon grown 

 rhizomes suitable for resale, and which can be de- 

 pended upon to bloom the first year after planting. 

 Our stock is NOT IRRIGATED and NOT FER- 

 TILIZED, and the remarkable size and quality of 

 our rhizomes is only the result of clean and inten- 

 sive cultivation on good soil and a favorable climate. 



Term^: 10% cash with order, 15% on June 1, 

 and 25%) on July 1, August 1 and September 1, 

 PROMPTLY. Such an arrangement permits you to 

 realize a return on the stock before paying for it 

 in full. These are the most reasonable terms offered 

 by any grower, and we ask your co-operation by 

 making your payments exactly according to the 

 above i^lan. 



Discounts: 10%. may be deducted on all orders 

 placed before February 1 and accompanied by cash 

 in full. After that date, all orders fully paid for 

 prior to June 1 are entitled to 5% discount. 



Shipments: We begin shipping orders about 

 June 20. If you want your order sent later in the 

 season, or on any specific date, we shall carry out 

 your instructions. Early shipments permit plants to 

 become established before winter sets in, but rhiz- 

 omes are not as large as they would be in August. 

 We prefer to ship around July 10 as an ideal time. 

 POSITIVELY NO SPRING SHIPMENTS MADE. 



Transportation: Prepaid express or parcel post, 

 whichever we deem most expedient. Be sure and 

 state your express office, if different from postal 

 address. We pack in dry excelsior in well venti-

 member, we PREPAY all costs, — the prices quoted 

 herein are for delivery to your door. 



We Guarantee all rhizomes true to name, first 

 size, free from disease and pests, and to reach you 

 in live and healthy condition. We do not guarantee 

 tliem to live or grow in your garden under condi- 

 tions over which we have no control.
