' SALE 
RARE AND COSTLY VARIETIES LISTED IN MY CURRENT CATALOGUE 
NOW OFFERED AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES 
1 have never joined the "Destroy the Surplus" fraternity, because I believe 
It is a great waste, as well as a shame to destroy things that can be used 
to bring pleasure to others. I do not believe that acres of corn or wheat 
should be plowed under (or Iris either) to keep prices up. I believe that the 
'abundant life" is to be found through better methods of distribution rather 
than through the destruction of things that someone can use. I do not believe 
that either a man, or a business, or a country, can better Us position by 
destroying its assets. I may be wrong, but that's my conviction and I must 
act accordingly. 
Owing to an exceptionally good propagating season, I find myself with 
a surplus stock of some of the choicest varieties of Iris that the world has 
ever known. But no one can persuade me to plow up this potential beauty 
to keep prices up. No Sirl I prefer to cut prices to the bone and ship these 
fine Irises to garden lovers everywhere, to carry their message of beauty and 
joy throughout the world, as they should. 
And so I have divided this group of Irises into 4 choice collections, offered 
at greatly reduced prices. Each collection is a LCJJNG'SEASON COLLECTION 
Each collection contains outstanding representqfive^ of j, fTTree.^distinct race' 
(1) Spring blooming Tall Bearded Iris; (2) Auti.^n Elbwerin^ Iris~-tfa<j^ower 
first in the very early Spring and again in tl* FalU^^ pew ifcifJe ^PJ^ent
