On all orders, amounting to less than $2.50, add 25c to cover cost of 
packing and shipping. 
Unless otherwise specified we will begin filling orders for iris about 
August Ist. We believe that iris shipped after this date will give nearer to 
typical bloom the first year. In the far south we would suggest planting as 
late as September or October. 
We recommend early fall planting for daylilies. A few can be furnish- 
ed for spring planting if so desired. 
‘Peonys will be sent as soon after September Ist as possible. 
Narcissus should be ordered prior to June 1st. 
On all orders amounting to not less than $20.00 either a 10% discount 
will be allowed or extra plants not to exceed 10% of the total value will be 
sent at your option. Send a list of varieties from which you would like us to 
choose extras if plants are available. Collections and prices marked ‘NET’ 
not subject to further discount.

THE IRIS 
An Ideal Hardy Perennial 
This new book was published by THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY in 
1947. After a thorough examination I feel certain that it is quite essential 
in the library of all gardeners, especially those interested in Iris. Not only 
is it written for the beginner but the advanced grower and hybridizer will 
find much valuable information in it. Through the cooperation of a number 
of writers it has been possible to bring iris culture up to date. 
Of special interest are articles pertaining to THE IRIS FAMILY. 
These give detailed descriptions of the many Iris species that have entered 
into the development of the present garden iris. THE FOURTEEN POINTS 
OF IRIS CULTURE should be of great benefit to the beginner as should 
the article on IRIS DISEASES AND PESTS. I believe that the article— 
AN OUTLINE OF GENETICS—is one of the most understandable that I 
have read. These and many other worthwhile articles are incorporated in 
this fine book.
