ORDER EARLY. This is more important advice 
now than ever before. The labor shortage has 
slowed production, and plant stocks are more limit- 
ed than in any recent year. Late orders are very 
likely to find many varieties sold out. 
In general, orders will be shipped by express, the 
small charges to be paid on receipt of package. 
Orders amounting to less than $2.00 will be sent 
prepaid only if 25 cents extra is included for pos- 
tage and packing. 
THE FINEST OF IRISES 
IRIS—"The most decorative form in all the f flower 
world.”’ 
Practically all of the Irises herein offered were 
transplanted in 1945 into new, heavy black soil 
which produces the best of rhizomes. 
We have hundreds of varieties not listed here, 
partly because of limited quantities, partly because 
of conditions imposed by the war. : 
IRIS HONORS. The initials H. M. mean Honor- | 
able Mention; A. M. Award of Merit; and D. or 
Dykes, the Dykes Medal. These are all honors 
voted to various Irises by numerous official Iris 
judges and awarded by national Iris Societies. The 
Dykes Medal is the highest honor an Iris can re-. 
ceive. and not more than one each year can be 
awarded in this country, one in France, and one 
in England. 
\ 
Among our new Irises, not listed here, which we 
hope will show bloom in 1946, are: Ace of Spades, 
Arethusa, Aztee Glory, Copper Pink, Deep Velvet, 
Dawn of Gold, Golden Eagie, Mandalay, Melitza, 
Manyusya, Nightfall, Nylon, Ola Kala, Orchid
