FRYER’S NEW IRIS 
pEOPLE have often said to me, '"What is the use of raising seedlings 
1 for there are altogether too many varieties now?” I am well aware 
that too many poor varieties have been named, and if nine-tenths of them 
had never been named it would be much better for those interested in 
Iris. 1 am well pleased with my success with those which have bloomed, 
and as I have hundreds of seedlings to bloom this season for the first 
time to say nothing of the 10,000 German Iris seed which I planted last 
September, and should get some wonderful varieties from all of this 
number. 
Mr. Wm. A. Peterson, of Chicago, who is one of the best Peony and 
Iris specialists in the U. S., purchased a few of my varieties in the fall of 
1916 bought 25 Rev. Wurtelle, and all of the W. J. Fryer and Gov. Hughes 
which I could spare. Mr. A. E. Kunderd of, Goshen, Ind., came 500 miles 
last June to see them when in bloom, and bought a single root of Fryer’s 
Glory at $5.00. Mr. A M. Brand, of Faribault, Minn., did the same. 
The Wing Seed Co., of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, bought 25 Clarence 
Wedge, and wished others which I could not supply. 
Many others have bought them, and speak very highly of their 
worth. I believe it is one of the best recommends to have specialists buy 
them after seeing them in bloom. I will have a fair supply of many va- 
rieties next fall, and shall reduce the price accordingly. If interested, write
