IRIS 
We have revised our 1939 Iris list, and have added several good varieties, which are 
worthy of your serious consideration. We have divided our Iris into three groups— 
the “Extra Good” varieties. “Medium Priced” varieties and “Standard” varieties. We 
guarantee our Iris to be true to name, and are available for shipment any time after 
the first of August. In fact, Iris can be transplanted most any month of the year, 
providing the frost is out of the ground. 
EXTRA GOOD VARIETIES. 
This list contains some of the World’s Finest Iris. Practically 
all of them are recent introductions and are much improved 
over the old type. If you have never handled any of these 
“Extra Good” varieties, it would be our suggestion that you try 
a few of them. Tour customers will enjoy getting acquainted 
with them.
