HERE IS THE REDDEST, THE NEWEST, THE MOST BEAU 
TIFUL COLLECTION OF REDS I HAVE EVER OFFERED 
For a number of years I have been 
offering - my Reddest Iris Collection. 
Every year I try to outdo myself. My 
fields are conducted largely for the 
happiness of fifty thousand people who 
come to see them in May. I can sell 
Irises very cheap, for I raise millions 
of them. Here is the newest and 
cheapest and the reddest coll?ction I 
have ever offered. 
Four Seminole (Improved). Among 
the largest and brightest and reddest 
blossoms of any Reds. 
Four Morning Splendor. Large and 
tall and brilliant. Stands up in rain 
and storm. A crowd of people contin¬ 
ually surround these blocks. T know 
of no Reds more to be admired than 
Morning Splendor. 
Four Imperator. Tall and fragrant 
and beautiful. (Should I run low on 
Imperator, I will put in 4 plants of 
Apache, Indian Chief, Tuscorora, Car¬ 
dinal or Flamingo. 
Then, to cap the climax, I will put 
in four Shiwassee (Indian name), the 
largest, newest and reddest Iris in the 
entire field. You are not apt to find it 
elsewhere as I bought the entire stock 
from Dr. Burchfield of Ann Arbor, 
Mich., except 4 plants and paid him 
five dollars per plant. 
Then, to show my appreciation of 
your patronage, I will put in two 
beautiful pinks and also two beauti¬ 
ful yellows, making 20 plants in all, 
of the most beautiful things I grow 
and send them to you, Parcels Post 
Prepaid, for only Two Dollars. 
You will love these red beauties. In¬ 
structions in every box. Address:

Pictures are lots better than nothing but when you come, be sure to see 
the Red Blocks. Ten thousand Morning Splendors and ten thousand Shiwassee 
will make any driver slow up. Look long and carefully at the pictures above 
and try to lose yourself in a Sea of Red—with oceans of perfume thrown in for 
good measure. 
I have often said, that among my dearest friends are many, many hundreds 
I have never seen. With every order, I send my deepest solicitations for your 
success. All my activities are saturated with deepest wishes for your happiness 
and well being. I live in hopes that some time I may meet you all face to face.
