ORDER EARLY. Early orders are solicited to prevent disappoint- 
ments in case the variety selected should be sold out. 
Please write your NAME AND ADDRESS plainly. 
SHIPPING TIME for iris is June 1 to October 1, to suit customers’ 
convenience and proper planting time. 
The STOCK we ship is all first quality and rhizomes are of bloom- 
ing size. Because of our long rainless summers and our well- 
drained hillside gardens, the plants are well matured and fully 
dormant before shipping time. 
SUBSTITUTIONS. We do not substitute unless directed to do so. 
If late in the season, we suggest you indicate a second choice, 
or that you permit us to substitute with equal or greater value. 
POSTAGE. Seed orders of any amount sent postpaid. On bulb 
orders or combination seed and bulb orders of less than $1.00, 
add 15c for packing and postage. All retail orders amounting 
to $1.00 or over will be delivered free to all points reached by 
regular Parcel Post. 
SALES TAX: Add 3 per cent to cover tax on all goods delivered in 
California. All sales delivered to other states not subject to tax. 
NON-WARRANTY. We give no warranty, express or implied, as 
to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of 
seeds, bulbs, rhizomes or plants sent out by us and will not be 
responsible in any way for the crop. If the purchaser does not 
accept the goods on these terms no sale thereof is made and 
purchaser must return them at once, and money will be re- 
funded. 
TERMS. Remittance should accompany order unless shipment 
is to be sent C. O. D. or satisfactory credit references are given. 
Remit by Postal or Express Money Orders or by drafts on Amer- 
ican banks when ordering from Canada and other foreign coun-

Our list of iris is comparatively small. We do, however, list practically all the varieties of real importance, and 
satisfactory growing qualities. 
It has always been our policy to offer only the best varieties. After the customer’s initial investment the cost of 
growing is no greater than that of the commonest sorts. 
Iris are quite different from other flowers and shrubs. When you buy a rose or a flowering bush you are re- 
warded only by larger growth from season to season, and have no increase. If you buy an iris this year, next season 
you will have three or four times as many, and in a few years you will have a grand display. Also remember that 
few flowers will stand hardships as well as iris.
