READ BEFORE ORDERING 
The prices quoted herein cancel all previous quota¬ 
tions made either by letter or in printed lists. 
Prices include delivery anywhere in the United States, 
on orders for not less than $1.00 in value, provided 
such orders are placed in the summer or fall, when 
the stock is in the best condition for shipping. After 
the rains come they have made heavy root growth, the 
rhizomes are filled with moisture and consequently 
being softer, cannot be shipped as cheaply. Orders 
sent later than Dec. 1 st, from outside the first three 
zones, will be sent by Express at the purchaser’s ex¬ 
pense. 
Six plants will be furnished at dozen rates where 
they are quoted by the dozen. Price per hundred, or 
in larger quantities, quoted on application. 
Terms: Cash with order. 
Important Note. We exercise due care to keep all 
varieties TRUE TO NAME, and hold ourselves in readi¬ 
ness at any time to replace, on proper proof, any stock 
that may prove otherwise. All sales made subject to 
stock being unsold when order is received, or loss by 
any and all unavoidable causes. 
Stock of many of the newer introductions is very 
limited. Please state whether you wish us to substi¬ 
tute with something equally as good if sold out of any 
you may order. 
Cultural Notes. The Bearded Irises do well in or¬ 
dinary garden soil. Some thrive without artificial wa¬ 
tering in our location, but much depends upon the 
rainfall. For best results it is advisable to water dur¬ 
ing the flowering season at least, and in light soils 
more water is required and longer during the sum¬ 
mer season. Give good drainage. The Variegata and 
yellow forms and some others require more moisture 
to bring them to perfection than the tall growing va¬ 
rieties, such as the Asia Minor and Pallida types. 
Barely cover the rhizome in planting, and if necessary 
to fertilize use bone meal or crushed limestone. Divide 
every two to four years. Can be grown in full sun or 
partial shade—they do well under the shade of trees if 
the sun reaches .them a part of the day. Stylosa re¬ 
quires the same treatment as the Bearded, but in this 
variety when the plant is well established, cut down 
close to the ground in late summer. Most of the 
Beardless varieties require more humus and moisture 
although the Spurias do well treated as the Bearded. 
The Sibiricas and some others must be kept at least 
damp all of the year. Our native varieties will carry 
through the dry season without being watered after 
being established.
