OUR BEST OFFER 
In this catalog are listed many outstanding collection 
bargains—fine named varieties for low cost. We have still 
another treat for our customers. Each year we make hun¬ 
dreds 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. Approx¬ 
imately one seedling in every lot of one thousand proves 
so distinctive, so meritorious, so outstanding, and so differ¬ 
ent from any other variety in commerce that it is given a 
name and introduced. Pink Imperial, Blended Beauty, and 
Michelangelo are typical examples of these high-class 
creations. 
'What about the other 999?" you ask. One-fourth of them 
are A-1 iris, being very beautiful, distinctive and 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-1 seedlings 
are as large, tail-stalked, floriferous, vigorous, colorful, 
fragrant, and attractive as named varieties now selling 
from 50c to $10. Here is what Mrs. E. J. Halyburton of 321 
No. Harrison avenue, Kirkwood, Missouri, wrote us: "Last 
year I sent to you for the collection Our Best Offer; the 
flowers pleased me so much that I am sending for another 
lot this season." This year we offer you the bargain of 
bargains:
