A Choice List of New and Good Old Bearded Iris (Germantca) 
DELIVERY ONLY FROM JULY FIRST TO OCTOBER 
(NO SPRING SALES) 
Prices in this Iris List supplant those in all previous price 
lists. 
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS will please add 15c per pound to 
their order and will have to obtain plant permit from the Plant 
Bureau at Ottawa before shipment can be made. For large orders 
we advise Express Shipments, 
In the United States Iris orders amounting to $1.50 or less are 
not prepaid and must include 25c postage when order is given. 
On large orders we advise Express Shipment, the customer 
paying the forwarding charges, in which case we will send extra 
plants free of charge to make up part of the forwarding charges. 
We cannot too strongly recommend July and August plant- 
ing for Iris. WE CANNOT SHIP BEFORE JULY 1 NOR AFTER 
NOVEMBER 1. 
NOTICE TO LOCAL CUSTOMERS: If you expect to come 
to the gardens for Iris plants on Sunday, we request that you call 
us on the telephone or send in your order during the week so we 
can dig the rhizomes Saturday. We will not always be able to 
dig Iris on Sundays. 
Prices for Iris as quoted below are for one new plant or 
rhizome which will bloom next season and on which the new 
side shoots or “babies’’ will develop before winter sets in; this 
will be your increase for next year. In July these new eyes are 
very small but will grow rapdly during August, September and 
October. 
Consequently, in July, the new rhizomes weigh very little 
but each month thereafter they increase rapidly in weight until 
in October the plants of vigorous sorts will weigh as much as 
one pound, which means two pounds when packed; the postage 
on such a plant would be 15 cents to the Central States and 25 
cents to the Hast. So you can readily figure out that we could 
not afford to pay the postage on any variety quoted at 25 to 50 
cents. So please note carefully:
