Please Read Before Ordering 
EARLY ORDERS are suggested in order to avoid disappointment, in 
case some varieties are sold out. 
SUBSTITUTIONS will not be made without the explicit consent of 
the customer. In case a variety is out of stock the cost will be refund- 
ed promptiy. 
SHIPMENT cannot be made in any case until the last week in June, 
but better results are obtained here by delaying digging until nearly 
the middle of July. Rhizomes will be dug until the ground freezes, but 
plantings in the North made after September usually require protec- 
tion against frost-heaving. 
STOCK shipped is all of blooming size. Please note that some va- 
rieties naturally make small rhizomes, and that stock shipped in ear- 
ly summer will be smaller than that shipped later. 
GUARANTEE is made that stock shipped is healthy, free from pests 
and true to name. Any error in filling orders will be rectified, and any 
stock which fails to arrive in good shape will be replaced if notice is 
sent at once. The right to refund at our option is reserved. 
TRANSPORTATION of all irises is by parcel post prepaid to any 
point in the United States. 
TERMS are cash. No C. O. D. orders can be accepted. Because we 
pay transportation charges no orders for less than $1 can be accepted. 
FALL BLOOMING IRISES (varieties which bloom in spring and 
again in fall) are not reliable performers in the North. We list several 
varieties but do not recommend them for severe climates.
