FOR YOUR INFORMATION 
We grow no flowers but iris but we grow them by the thousands. 
We specialize particularly in red and pink iris. We ship only the 
best developed and finest stock which is sure to please you. We 
guarantee the iris to be true to name. We do not guarantee growth 
in your garden. If plants do not arrive in good condition return 
them at once and adjustment will be made. Any error on our part 
will be carefully corrected. 
For real iris beauty plant fewer kinds and more of each kind) 
if you wish to make the best showing. Add one or two of several 
extra kinds each year to your orders. Plant them in a trial flower 
bed and watch them. Perhaps you will want a supply of them the 
following year. This method of choosing new kinds is far more 
satisfactory than buying from colored pictures in a catalog. I have 
never seen any color reproduction of iris that was true to the real 
flower. . 
Look over our list and see if some of our iris do not meet your 
requirements. Each iris you receive will be labeled. To save time, 
correspondence and possible disappointment enclose a list of second 
choices of iris when ordering, in case some of your particular selec- 
tions are no longer available. All orders are filled in the order in 
which they are received. All orders of $4.00 or more will be shipped 
to you post paid at prices quoted in this catalog. For all orders 
under $4.00 please add twenty-five cents to your total bill for post- 
age and packing charges. Prices in other catalogs are not effective. 
Order only from the current list as many older varieties are sold out. 
No C.O.D. orders will be accepted at all. 
Please send cash with your order, either a post office money 
order or your own personal check will be acceptable. If it is the 
shipping season I will not acknowledge your order by letter but will 
send your order to you at once. Should there be a short delay, be 
patient—don’t write. It may have rained here thus hindering our 
digging operations slightly. All shipments are dug to order and not 
ahead of time. Order any time and your shipment will be sent to 
you at the best time for planting. July to November are good plant- 
ing months. We will make no shipments until after the blooming 
season. Shipping generally begins about July 1. 
Be sure to write us your full name and address with care. Do 
not abbreviate and print if you can not write plainly. We ship gift 
orders postpaid anywhere in the United States. Please enclose your 
personal gift card to include in these orders. 
We take this opportunity to thank you for your friendship and 
patronage through the years. We shall continue to strive to merit 
your confidence and approval. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. W. B. OTWELL.
