OUR BEST OFFER 
In this catalog are listed many outstanding collec¬ 
tion bargains—fine named varieties for low cost. We 
have still another treat for our customers. Each year 
we make hundreds of hand-crossed pollenizations, 
selecting both pollen and seed parents from among 
the finest varieties in our gardens. These hundreds 
of crosses result in thousands of seeds which are 
grown in our experimental fields. Approximately one 
seedling in every lot of one thousand proves so dis¬ 
tinctive, so meritorious, so outstanding, and so dif¬ 
ferent from any other variety in commerce that it is 
given a name and introduced. Pearl Lustre and 
Michelangelo are typical examples of these high- 
class creations. 
“What about the other 999?” you ask. One-fourth 
of them are A-l Iris, being very beautiful, distinctive 
mid colorful. The reason they are not introduced 
under variety names is because they resemble new 
high-priced novelties already on the market. It is our 
custom to place new varieties in commerce only when 
they excel to a marked degree and differ materially 
from any sort hitherto available. 
At blooming time, we go through our seedling fields 
and carefully mark the best 25 per cent. These A-l 
seedlings are as large, tail-stalked, floriferous, vigor¬ 
ous, colorful, fragrant, and attractive as named vari¬ 
eties now selling from 50c to $10. This year we offer 
you the bargain of bargains: 
5 Different A-l Seedlings in assorted colors for $1 
30 Different A-l Seedlings in assorted colors for $5 
100 Different A-l Seedlings in assorted colors for $15 
All roots sent parcel post prepaid.
