TO IRIS DEALERS: 



We want to make a statement relative to prices. 



Our list is sent to the wholesale trade in January — the first Iris list in the field for the year. 

 As a result, we lay ourselves open to price-cutters, and since the distribution of our list three or 

 four growers have issued lists pricing certain items considerably below our quotations. We want 

 you to have confidence in us, to feel that you have made no mistake in placing your order with 

 us early in the season, or in case you are contemplating an order, to know that you will get 

 approximately the same value you would get elsewhere, even though our list prices are in a 

 few cases higher. 



Here is an instance: Our price on DOLLY MADISON is evidently high, as compared to the lists 

 of some other growers. So suppose you have ordered three roots, we will send five instead of 

 three. San Francisco is another example; in many cases we will send you double the quantity 

 you have ordered. On the back page of this folder you will find our complete price list, and the 

 varieties with an asterisk (*) before them will be sent out liberally, so as to give the same value 

 offered by our competitors. 



Finally, please bear in mind that our rhizomes are NOT IRRIGATED and NOT FERTILIZED. They 

 are uniformly fine roots of extra large size, attaining this wonderful growth only as a result of 

 good soil, a favorable climate, and diligent intensive cultivation. 

 Give us a trial order and see for yourself.
