ORDERS ACCEPTED FROM JUNE 15 TO AUGUST 15 
that you receive plants not as represented, 
we guarantee to replace plants upon return 
of the stock bought of us. Please let us 
know if goods are not satisfactory when 
received, or later. 
Substitutions 
We never substitute other varieties un¬ 
less we are requested to do so. In case we 
are sold out of a certain variety we shall 
refund your money. 
Complaints 
All complaints regarding your shipment 
must be made within twenty-four hours 
after arrival of plants. Before returning 
plants to use, write us, and in the mean¬ 
time leave the plants spread out in a dry 
place so that they do not touch each other. 
DO NOT KEEP THEM PACKED TIGHT 
IN ANY CONTAINER AS THIS WILL 
INDUCE ROTS. 
Varieties 
We can hear you say, “Now what va¬ 
rieties should I order?” At one time we 
had more than 900 varieties on our place. 
We now have less than 150, the rest have 
been discarded because some of the older 
ones have been superseded by newer va¬ 
rieties in size, form and purity of color. 
Many of the older varieties we have kept 
and probably will because of their useful¬ 
ness in making a fine landscape. This is 
what we take it you are buying most of 
your flowers for, to make a picture in your 
garden. Consequently for the past two 
years we have been going over our fields 
while in bloom, and contrasting and elim¬ 
inating those varieties that we felt could 
be dropped out of the list. We therefore 
list only the best, not many of them are 
high in price, yet we have this year cut the 
prices to the middle of the bone. There¬ 
fore in choosing your varieties pick out as 
near as possible from our color descriptions 
the varieties that you think you will like. 
All are fine irises and you can’t go far 
wrong in picking out any variety on our 
list. 
We have many very fine letters from all 
parts of the country telling us how well our 
plants grow and bloom and you need not 
fear bad results from our plants. Reports 
from the cold regions of Canada are extra 
good. It is not the cold that hurts the 
plants but the changing weather condi¬ 
tions, and take it from us, we have it here 
in Old Kentucky. 
We would appreciate it very much to 
have the opportunity to show you how our 
plans will perform in your gardens. 
Culture of Irises 
With every order we will include a sheet 
of instructions ‘what to do and what not 
to do,” to grow fine irises. This will be 
free to you.
