INTRODUCTORY 
HEALTHY PLANTS. All plants have been thor¬ 
oughly inspected, and are sold by authorized permit 
from the ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION of the 
State of Kansas. 
TIME OF DELIVERY. Will begin filling orders 
June 20, or as soon thereafter as weather conditions 
permit. Years of experience and observation in 
growing iris in this locality, where we have a very 
hot August, a month that causes more discourage¬ 
ment to plant enthusiasts than all others, has giv¬ 
en positive proof that rhizomes set the latter part 
of June or as early in July as possible give best 
results. Knowing the exa.t happenings after sett¬ 
ing the rhizome explains this theory. In about four 
days tiny roots shoot out from the body of the rhi¬ 
zome, also from the old roots remaining on the rhi¬ 
zome at the time of planting. These new roots con¬ 
tinue to grow under favorable conditions, which 
usually last until our hot, dry season in August. The 
early growth made materially strengthens the new 
plants for this trying period. During the latter 
part of the season more root growth is made, also 
from the sides of the rhizome new shoots appear 
and the entire growth continues until freezing wea¬ 
ther, usually about first part of November. With 
ordinary garden care iris handled in this manner 
are almost sure to give one or more fine bloom 
stalks the following season. Delivery will be made 
to suit the customers convenience as nearly as pos¬ 
sible, and orders will be filled any time until freez¬ 
ing weather. 
STOCK TRUE TO NAME. All varieties are guar¬ 
anteed true to name. No substitutions made unless 
a second choice is made. Continued success in the 
iris business depends on satisfied customers, and 
this is my constant aim. Each order receives the 
best rhizomes possible. All orders are filled by 
plants grown by me under the most exacting me¬ 
thods. Mistakes are reduced to a minimum, and 
should one occur will cheerfully and promptly ad¬ 
just same. In cases of mistake, purchase price 
will be refunded, or if customer prefers, will be ad¬ 
justed by supplying new stock of other varieties. 
No further adjustment will be made. No adjustment 
of any nature will be made after the season fol¬ 
lowing the purchase of plants.
