TERMS OF SALE 
Shipments Delivery of the Tall Bearded will begin in July 
and continue into early fall. Early spring shipments are not 
solicited/ as they seldom do well. Altho July is the ideal 
time to transplant in the north/ it may be too hot in the south 
for plants to survive the change until later. In sections of 
the arid west. Irises do best when planted as the fall rains 
besin. However it will be to your advantage to place your 
order early. 
Transportation We prepay transportation charges in the U- 
nited StateS/ parcel post or express/ on orders of $1.00 or 
more; with orders for less please remit 1 5c extra for postage. 
Terms Cash with your order. Post office money order pre¬ 
ferred. We will not be responsible for money sent in a 
careless manner. We retail only. 
Guarantee We guarantee our stock to be true to name/ of 
proper size/ free from disease/ and to reach you in good 
condition. After the plant is in your care we can not be 
responsible for failure from causes over which we have no 
control/ such as bad weather conditions/ but you will find 
us willing to go more than half v/ay. I plan on building up 
this business by doing more than you can reasonably expect. 
FAIR PLAY 
In the spirit of fairness I want to say that my garden is small/ 
and I have arranged to get some items from two other gar¬ 
dens near Fort Wayne/ the famous Longfield Iris Farm/ Will¬ 
iamson’s, to the south/ and the great Wassenberg Peony and 
Iris Farm to the south east. 
AN IRIS COMMUNITY 
The wonderful garden of the late Franklin B. Mead is only 
a few blocks distant, while Riedel’s Magic Carpet garden, 
the home of Eros, is even nearer, and Dr. Thimlar’s Peony and 
Iris farm is a few miles from the city. Paul Cook of Bluffton 
Indiana, who I believe will some day be one of America’s 
greatest hybridizers, is doing wonderful work, but is not a 
commercial grower. There are many other growers within 
a radius of less than one hundred miles.
