We wish to thank our many friends for their patronage 
during the past, and hope that we may be of service in 
the future. Our aim is to send out only strong, healthy 
plants and to meet all reasonable competition. 
Many of the new varieties are wonderful creations, 
masterpieces of the highest type, and we commend them 
to your attention. 
In obtaining our collection, we have endeavored to se- 
lect the most attractive iris from hundreds of fine kinds, 
and feel sure our selection affords a good range of color 
from which our patrons can secure a satisfactory coliec- 
tion with which to beautify their home gardens and 
grounds. With every order we send out we will send a 
folder, ‘‘About Iris,’’ which gives some helpful hints 
about the care and propagation of Iris, and also about 
combating some of the pests which bother us by destroy- 
ing much of what we work very hard to grow. We will 
be glad to send our price list to any address on request, 
THE NEW IRIS SOUTRERN PACIFIC 
From its first appearance in our gardens, this wonder- 
ful iris has been a strong, and very vigorous growing 
plant, with leaves tall, smooth and strong, and with tall 
strong stems well branched. The huge blooms are well 
placed, and many reach a spread of nine inches. Both 
standards and falls are inclined to curve and havea slight 
ruffle around the edges, The standards haye a strong 
midrib and stand straight and almost closed. The falls 
are semi-flaring, drooping enough at the outer edge to 
give the bloom a very artistic appearance. Texture firm, 
Color, a soft shade of rich Javender blue and has a deli- 
eate pinkish glow throughout, with a Jight area through 
the center, and the falls are penciled darker through the 
haft. The beard is orange at the base, shading to lighter 
at the outer end. Blooms open two to four at a time on a 
stem. Stems three to four feet tall. The plants have 
withstood freezing weather, wind and rain storms as well 
or better than other large iris under same _ conditions. 
Blooming period around thirty days. Jhis is a gracious 
addition to the iris family, and gives a full measure of 
beauty and size and a soft pleasing pacific tone.

SHIPPING TIME 
July is the best time to reset iris, but August and Sep- 
tember are very good. We will ship later if so desired. 
We recommend, however, that orders be sent as early 
as possible as it is a decided advantage to get the plants 
in early so that they will be well established by winter 
and will be more sure to give satisfactory blooms the 
following season. We pack our iris in excelsior and ship 
only strong vigorous plants and consider them out of our 
control after the shipment is delivered to the transpor- 
tation agency here, but will be glad to be adyised if they 
do not reach youin good condition. However, we cannot 
guarantee any iris to live or grow under conditions over 
which we have no control.
