Yes, it's Iris time once more. For 22 

 years we have been greeting old customers 

 and friends and welcoming new ones, from 

 Maine to California, Canada to the Rio 

 Grande. This catalog is our hearty hand- 

 shake to renew old acquaintance, and to 

 hope for many a new one. 



THE PERENNIAL SUPREME 



For garden color galore, for cutting, for exhibi- 

 tion, for a hobby . . . the one garden plant that 

 succeeds in hot climates and in cold ones as well. 

 Easy to grow, in most any soil, and at a price to 

 suit the beginner with a modest purse or the con- 

 noisseur with unlimited means. Once planted they 

 will grow and increase naturally in your garden, 

 the clumps becoming bigger and more gorgeous 

 each blooming season.

TIME OF SHIPMENT, WHEN TO PLANT, TERMS, ETC. 



IRIS will be shipped beginning July 1st and continue through 

 the summer and early fall. Earliest shipments will go to those 

 who simply MUST have the plants early, but it is obviously 

 impossible for us to deliver thousands of orders at the outset. 

 During July and August we will ship constantly in the sequence 

 as received. Your success is assured if planted any time during 

 this period, but early ordering is advisable to avoid stock being 

 sold short. 



TRANSPORTATION is by prepaid parcel post or express, 

 whichever we deem most expedient. Be sure to state your ex- 

 press office if different from postal address. 



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. 



WE GUARANTEE all plants to be true to name, top qual- 

 ity 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 completely satisfied, please notify us promptly. 



TO CUSTOMERS IN CANADA: We ship many orders 

 to Canada every year. There is a simple procedure which all 

 Canadians must foUow, 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 you send your order, including the permit label, 

 to us in the usual way.
