Foreword 
A steady increase in the number of customers each year is indeed very gratify- 
ing, and that proves that our policy of allowing dealers and fanciers to buy of us sat 
wholesale and less is so well liked that we again continue this policy. 
While our prices are second to none, the well grown rhizomes give you added 
value, and they cost us much more than ordinary rhizomes to produce. 
A large, fat, well grown rhizome which we send you is bound to have a lot of 
stored up energy to grow and do well for you. 
Small immature rhizomes dry out too much in shipment, and take a long time 
to recover and start growing; so you are way ahead in buying of us on account of 
the two reasons given you above. 
All prices are made subject to the stock on hand, and, as we do not belong 
to any commercial growers’ association, you gain thereby and get true value on each 
variety offered. 
We try to select the ees of the newer varieties from our proven hybridizers, 
and add this year to our list about forty new varieties that we had on trial last year. 
Our stock is the best we have ever grown, and each season we profit by mis- 
takes in growing from the season before, and we offer well grown stock, that will 
satisfy you, or your money will be refunded. 
We solicit orders from Dealers, Advanced Iris Fanciers, and Hybridizers. 
On orders placed with us before July 1st, we will co-operate with you by giving 
you sensational premiums. 
Shortage of labor is again with us, and the part you can do to help out is to 
accept shipment when ready from June 28th to July 20th; in co-operating with us 
you gain thereby.
