VERY Iris offered in this folder originally sold at from $5.00 to $75.00 a plant. The in¬ 
troducer told me he paid the originator $5,000 for his original stock of Mother of Pearl. 
I now offer you plants of equal quality, propagated from this original stock, at 20c. 
I paid the originator $50.00 a plant for Mrs. Marion Cran. I now offer you large, flowering 
size plants of this variety at 25c a plant. 
Only a few years ago Pioneer was selling at $35.00 a plant. You can order it from this list 
for 15c a plant, LESS THAN ONE-HALF CENT ON THE DOLLAR OF THE ORIGINAL COST. 
These are only a few of the amazing values offered here. In fact, I have totaled the cost of 
the entire list,first at former prices, and then at my present prices to you, and I find that YOU 
CAN NOW PURCHASE FOR $25.00 SEVENTY-FIVE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TALL 
BEARDED IRIS, WHICH FORMERLY SOLD FOR $1,748.00. 
You will find in this list several of the famous Dykes Medal Winners. Only one Iris each 
year can receive this, the world's highest honor, in America, England and France. 
I have invested a comfortable fortune in rare importations and introductions. These I have 
propagated and multiplied with the most meticulous care until I can now offer them to you 
at nominal prices. 
The plants I will send you will be just as large and 
will produce just as beautiful flowers as the originals 
for which I paid fabulous prices. They will be identi¬ 
cal in every way to the original stock which cost me 
a small fortune. This is my contribution to the prog¬ 
ress of the gardening world. 
I CHEERFULLY PAID DOLLARS A PLANT FOR 
MY ORIGINAL STOCKS OF THESE SUPERB VA¬ 
RIETIES. WILL YOU PAY PENNIES IN ORDER 
THAT YOU AND YOURS MAY ENJOY THEIR 
BEAUTY?
