IRES SECTION 
Prices except where noted, 25c. 
We have so many kinds of irises, that it is necessary to devote a 
whole section of the catalog to them, and even then we feel that we 
have not described them adequately; they are so varied and so individ¬ 
ual. This is particularly true of the iris species, which represent so 
many different types, have such different requirements and are suited 
to so many different situations. We are certain that if they were better 
known, they would be much more extensively used. If a careful selection 
of irises is made, it is possible to have some variety or species in bloom 
at almost every season of the year. 
We are glad to have you visit us at any time, for we almost always 
have some sort of iris in bloom, and it is much more satisfactory to 
select your plants when you can see them in bloom. If you can’t come 
to see us, we will be glad to give you additional information by letter.
