Goreword 
Again we offer you advanced IRIS FANCIERS a heavy list of the newer iris 
creations from prominent iris hybridizers. 
To you members of the American Iris Society and to you iris dealers all over 
the country, here is a list of newer things at prices at wholesale or less. 
We make no distinction between the member of the Society and the iris dealer 
in regard to prices, as we feel the Iris Society member who purchases the new higher 
priced novelties, places them in their gardens on view to the public, will advertise 
these new creations, and create a wish on the part of the visitor to buy these newer 
things when they become reasonably priced; then the iris dealer will reap his harvest © 
by having stocks to sell at popular prices. 
This catalog is not a retail catalog, and prices here less the discounts in no way 
must be compared with the mail order iris specialists, who cater to the average 
gardener that buys the general list of iris. 
We receive iris from all over the country, and we know our stock will be better 
than the best, as we carefully tend each hill, and labor cost is relatively higher than 
if these rhizomes would come from the average commercial planting. 
Our descriptions are sketchy for we know you iris fanciers that receive this 
catalog know, or have already read, the advance bulletins on these newer creations. 
We wish to thank the many hundreds of iris lovers who ordered of us last season, 
and we promise that our stock this year is even better than the high standards we 
shipped last year. 
Please read our terms, special offers, and guarantee; we again offer sensational 
values. 
Remember this: that our stocks in some varieties are small, and that we only 
sell our surplus stock, and early orders will avoid disappointment. 
Ta Inia Hybridizers 
To further the interest in that very fertile field of producing newer colors, com- 
binations, and better iris varieties: we will do our part to help out by the following 
offer to hybridizers, and to take advantage of this offer: we require that no iris 
variety bought through this offer be offered for sale until the year 1945. 
It is understood: that if you wish to take advantage of this offer: that you write 
upon your order as follows: 
“As a hybridizer I agree not to sell any of these iris varieties until the year 1945, 
and these varieties I will use in hybridizing.” 
Here Is the Offer 
Any list of iris selected for breeding purposes in an amount of $100.00 or more: 
you may select an equal value of additional iris. This gives you the entire list at 
fifty cents on the dollar of the listed price. 
The order must be $100.00 or more, nothing less. Do not expect we will receive 
any order under these terms under $100.00. 
Six collections only at this price.
