PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING IRIS 
TIME OF SHIPMENT—We begin shipping Iris about July 1st and continue during the balance of the summer and 
fall. POSITIVELY NO IRIS WILL BE SHIPPED IN THE SPRING, but it may be included with your spring 
order and shipment will be made at the proper planting time. 
The following list has been carefully selected from the World’s finest Irises, regardless of price. We are constantly 
revising and discarding as new and better varieties are developed. We are very proud of our Iris planting and 
are always glad to have visitors during the blooming season. 
CULTURE—Iris should be planted in either full sun or light 
shade, placing the rhizome just below the surface of the 
ground. The bearded types prefer a non-acid soil and 
must have good drainage. Fertilizer should be applied 
sparingly and may be either incorporated in the soil 
before planting or worked in about the plants from time 
to time. A slight winter protection of straw, corn stalks, 
evergreen boughs or any material that does not pack and 
prevent air circulation has proven the best means of pre- 
venting winter heaving of the roots.
