Order Early —Early orders are solicited to prevent 
disappointments in case the variety selected 
should be sold out.

Shipping time for iris is June 1 to October 1, to suit 
customers’ convenience and proper planting time. 
The stock we ship is all first quality and rhizomes 
are of blooming size. Because of our long rain¬ 
less summers and our well-drained hillside gar¬ 
dens, the plants are well matured and fully dor¬ 
mant before shipping time. 
Substitutions — We do not substitute unless directed 
to do so. If late in the season, we suggest you 
indicate a second choice, or that you permit us 
to substitute with equal or greater value.

foreign countries. 25 per cent will hold orders 
till shipping time, when they will be sent C. O. D. 
for balance unless otherwise arranged.
