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 10 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 all 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" 

 A.M. "Award of Merit" 

 H.M. "Honorable Mention" 



In order to be eligible for the Dykes Medal an 

 Iris must have previously earned both the Hon- 

 orable Mention and Award of Merit, the latter 

 two having been separated by a one year 

 interval. 



Varieties designated as "Plicatas" bear mark- 

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

 flower of one color only. 



Season of bloom is indicated by letters as fol- 

 lows: E, early; EM, early to midseason; M, mid- 

 season; 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 conditions, 

 climate and other circumstances must be considered. 

 The total time span of bloom will extend over a period of 

 several weeks from early to very late.
