better than the one ordered. If you do not so direct I shall take for granted that I may 
substitute. If possible make second choices as our stock is limited.

You are invited to visit our Iris garden especially at blooming time, usually last week 
in May. .We have a very large collection of the finest Iris to be had, and are adding to our 
list each year.. The time to make your selections is when the Iris are in bloom. So plan to 
make us a visit. Garden Clubs are especially welcome. If possible, telephone us that you 
plan to come and we will make arrangements to take you through the garden. Saturdays 
and Sundays are good days to visit. 
If you are pleased with our rhizomes, tell others. If you are not pleased, tell us and let. 
us make it right. Our customers must be pleased. 
Don’t. judge an Iris by its price. Some of the loveliest Iris can be had at a very low 
price. Depute Nomblot, Frieda Mohr, The Black Douglas, Cheerio, Evolution, Beuchley’s 
Giant, Crystal Beauty, Sierra Blue, and Baldwin are lovely garden Iris—all of the very best. 
PLEASE WRITE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLAINLY. When you receive your shipment 
won’t you please drop us a card stating that you received your package, and state how 
you like them? It doesn’t take much time. We are not interested in merely selling you. 
We want to be your Iris friend and we want to know you are satisfied. We will expect to 
hear from each of you. Only one of the higher priced Iris to a customer, three of the less 
expensive kinds. This keeps one customer from “hogging” the choice Iris. I want you all 
to have a chance at them. 
I have a large number of new Iris that I am not listing. Write me about any Iris you 
may want.and I may be able to supply. you,
