Dear Friend: 
Here is the most beautiful Red Iris Collection I have ever offered. Every year 
My fields are conducted largely for the happiness of the fifty thousand people who 
can sell Irises very cheap for I raise millions of them. Here is the newest and the c 
collection I have ever offered. 
Four Seminole (Improved)—among the largest and reddest blossoms of any reds. 
Splendor. This is the reddest anc the most beautifully named variety in our fields. A crowd 
tors is around this block all the time. Four Apache —large, red, brick dust and excites the attention of 
everyone. 
Then to cap the climax, I put you in four Shiwassee (Indian name)—the largest, newest and most 
beautiful Red I have ever grown. You are not apt to find it anywhere else as I bought the entire stock 
(except four plants) from the originator, Dr. Burchfield, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, for five dollars per plant. 
Then for prompt orders, I slip in two lovely pinks not named in my folder, and let you send me only 
one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) for the entire collection, postage paid. At retail they would bring $5.00. 
Instructions in every box. Planted by April 20th, should bloom in May. You will love these red 
beauties and your friends will tromp all your grass down coming to see them.
