This season we have the finest collection ever to offer our customers — 
including a record breaking crop of new introductions and selections of the 
finest other iris we could find in the United States. 
You will notice that the Salbach list of varieties is comparatively numeri¬ 
cally small, but at the same time you will find that we list practically every iris 
of real importance. This is because of our strict adherence to the Salbach 
policy of “If we list it, it’s good.” We ourselves must see every variety in 
bloom before it is listed, and all poor or mediocre varieties are promptly 
“junked” as soon as they flower, regardless of the ballyhoo that such varieties 
may have been given elsewhere. 
This year our list is not only one that includes nothing but the best, but it 
is the most up-to-date chronicle of good iris buys that can be had — for my 
so n and I “covered” the Nation (traveling nearly 8,000 miles) in seach of new 
iris, buying stock of the outstanding varieties and skipping the rest. 
In view of this fact, it is even truer than usual that any selection from a 
Salbach catalog will be a good one — for it is impossible to get a “bad buy” 
when you make your choice from a listing which contains all of the good ones 
and none of the mediocre or poor kinds.
