My gardens, during the season of bloom, are my best advertisement 
and I invite all who are interested in flowers to come and see the Iris, 
Peonies and Phlox when in bloom. Those within a reasonable distance 
will be notified as usual. The Iris in full bloom is a sight you will 
never forget. 
This should be the most interesting season for Iris that I have ever 
had. Many seedlings of both Bearded and Japanese varieties will bloom 
for the first time. These are the result of hand pollenizing, and I used 
only the finest varieties in making the crossings. 
After the gardens, this catalogue is my only salesman. If you are not 
interested, will you be kind enough to hand it to some neighbor who 
may be. 
No charge is made for packing, and shipping charges are prepaid on 
orders of $3.00 or over. Delivery by auto free of charge is usually made 
in Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Springfield, Vt., in Keene and Claremont, 
N. H., and in Greenfield, Mass. Large orders are delivered anywhere 
within a reasonable distance. 
My only guarantee is that plants are shipped in good condition and 
are true to name. Any stock proving untrue to name will be replaced 
without further expense to the customer. I assume no other responsi- 
bility for results after the plants have left my care. 
All plants are freshly dug, and nothing is shipped that I have not first 
inspected. Great care is taken to insure that only strong, healthy stock 
is sent out.
