TIME OF SHIPMENT, TERMS, ETC. 



SHIPMENTS will begin July 1st and continue through 

 the summer and early fall. During July and August we 

 will ship constantly in the sequence 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. 



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 ALU OVERSEAS 

 POINTS: Please add $5.00 to all orders to cover In- 

 spection 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 completely 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 cur- 

 rency 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 Honorable Mention 

 and Award of Merit, the latter two having been sep- 

 arated 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, mid- 

 season 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 condi- 

 tions climate and other circumstances must be con- 

 sidered. The total time span of bloom will extend over 

 a period of several weeks from early to very late.
