PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
Write your NAME and ADDRESS plainly. 
ORDER EARLY and please suggest one or two accept- 
able substitutes as the stock of some varieties is not 
abundant this year. 
The STOCK we ship is all first quality and rhizomes are 
of blooming size. Because of our long, rainless sum- 
mers and our well-drained hillside gardens, the plants 
are well matured and fully dormant before shipping 
time. 
SHIPPING TIME for iris is June 1 to October I, to suit 
customers’ convenience and proper planting time.

ered in California and any other tax that may be in

POSTAGE. Seed orders of any amount sent postpaid. 
On bulb orders or combination seed and bulb orders

All retail orders amounting to $1.00 or over will be

Post.

shipment is to be sent C.O.D., or satisfactory credit

for the duration.

implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or

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 sea- 
son 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.
