IRISTOCRATS 
In this group we list the newer and higher priced 
varieties—those costing more than five dollars each. 
Many will say that no iris is worth such high prices, 
yet if these same people could see them in bloom, no 
such remark would be made. When a hybridizer 
originates an iris which is entirely different, larger or 
more beautiful than any other variety, can one blame 
him for wanting a fair price for his production? He 
may have raised thousands of seedlings from his 
crosses and found this one to be the only really good 
variety worthy of being named. A real IRISARIAN 
will not hesitate to purchase any varieties in this list 
for it contains the cream of the newer varieties pro- 
duced during the past ten years. 
Each variety is worthy of a more elaborate descrip- 
tion than we are able to give it, but our catalog space 
is necessarily limited, our fifty thousand catalogs be- 
ing a main cost of business. This year more than 
ever, labor is very high, so we must cut expenses in 
every way if we are to continue business. We aim 
to have EVERY worth-while variety and have many 
others not here listed. As our stock of these varieties 
is limited in some cases, early orders are advised.
