A Word to Friends 
New and Did 
This catalog is issued for the purpose of sharing rare and 
beautiful plants with the garden lovers who have gone beyond 
the stage of growing the common flowers offered by the local 
seed house or nursery and are searching for the more beau¬ 
tiful and unusual flowers. 
All bulbs and plants are delivered at the proper planting 
season, when they are most dormant. Positively no deliveries 
are made during the spring blooming season. Most plants are 
ready for delivery and are shipped between June 1st and 
November 15th. As soon as orders come in, we send out cards 
of acknowledgment stating when the shipment will be sent 
out, but if for any reason you wish to have your order sent 
at a different date, we will do so. 
We are always glad to correspond with you regarding your 
garden problems, or to exchange plants if you have something 
we want. Write first and tell us what you have and what you 
would like in exchange. 
We grow many more varieties and species of Iris and bulbous 
plants of which we do not have sufficient stock to justify 
listing in this catalog. If you do not find what you want, per¬ 
haps we have it or can obtain it for you. Write us a card and 
tell us what you need. 
We wish to thank our many friends for their patronage and 
support during the past year. It has enabled us to issue this 
improved catalog for your pleasure and information. 
Very truly yours
