Special Offer of Discarded Seedlings 
Each year Iris hybridizers discard many seedlings 
which are of very high quality, but whose general char- 
acteristics are not sufficiently different from existing 
varieties to merit their introduction. This does not 
mean that they are not good enough to introduce, for 
many of them are far suppior to the best introductions 
of a decade ago. We offer these at a special price of 
$6.00 per doz.; $45.00 per 100.
