We have probably the largest 

 planting of high class iris in this 

 country, superior rhizomes that 

 will even surpass your expecta- 

 tions. We can and dc produce 

 iris at as low cost as possible, 

 quality considered, and in order 

 to prove this, where price is a 

 consideration, we will meet all 

 competitors' retail catalog prices 

 under the following conditions: 



1. The dealer must be recog- 

 nized as an actual commercial 

 iris grower, advertising and do- 

 ing business on a national 

 scale. 



2. We will recognize and meet 

 only the RETAIL CATALOG 

 price. All collection offers, pri- 

 vate letter quotations, surpluis 

 lists, and prices of small neigh- 

 borhood dealers can not be con- 

 sidered. 



3. If you find our list price on 

 any iris in this catalog to be 

 higher than that quoted by some 

 other dealer, simply mention his 

 name alongside the variety on 

 your order blank and pay us 

 only the lowest quoted price. 

 We will check all such for veri- 

 fication. We will not accept or- 

 ders at less than 20 cents per 

 variety. 



4. For our own protection we 

 must reserve the right to refuse 

 to accept from anyone any or- 

 der for any iris. This statement 

 is made to avoid being taken 

 advantage of by unscrupulous 

 persons, although the offer is 

 made in strict good faith. It must 

 be realized, also, that late in the 

 season, as is always the case, 

 some items are bound to be sold 

 out.

We shall both be spared 

 any misunderstanding about 



TERMS, TIME OF SHIPMENTS, ETC. 



Shipments: Will be made on bearded irises begin- 

 ning about June 20th. If you wish your order sent 

 later, or on any specific date, we shall carry out your 

 instructions. Early shipments permit plants to become 

 established before winter sets in, but rhizomes are not 

 as large in July as they would be in August. We pre- 

 fer to ship around July 10th as an ideal time. 



ORIENTAL POPPIES AND HEMEROCALLIS WILL 

 NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL THE PROPER PLANTING 

 SEASON, AROUND SEPTEMBER 1st, OR SLIGHTLY 

 LATER. 



Positively no stock shipped during the spring 

 months. 



Transportation: Prepaid express or parcel post, 

 whichever we deem most expedient. Be sure and 

 state your express office, if different from postal ad- 

 dress. We pack in dry excelsior in well ventilated 

 cardboard cartons and guarantee safe delivery to 

 point of address. All shipments are insured. Remem- 

 ber, we PREPAY all costs — the prices quoted herein 

 are for delivery to your door. 



NO ORDER ACCEPTED FOR LESS THAN $1.00 



Terms: Cash with order, either check, draft or 

 money order. Enclosing cash in your letter may re- 

 sult in loss. 25% will hold until shipping date. 



Discount: You may select additional plants to the 

 value of 10% of your order if it totals $3 or more. 

 THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO COLLECTION OFFERS, 

 however. 



We Guarantee all bulbs and plants to be true to 

 name, first size, free from disease and pests, and to 

 reach you in live and healthy condition. We do not 

 guarantee them to live or grow in your garden under 

 conditions over which we have no control. 



Our iris rhizomes are NOT IRRIGATED, NOT 

 FERTILIZED, and we have NEVER HAD AN IRIS 

 BORER!
