TERMS OF SALE 
Cash with order. Postage paid on all orders over $3.00. Orders for less add 25c to cover packing 
and postage. 
SHIPPING DATES 
Our rhizomes mature here after July 15th, however, some growers like plants earlier. 1 will ship 
starting July ist, but the rhizomes at that time are smaller. We cannot ship before this date. I will ap- 
preciate it if request for orders are sent early. Many of our plant markers, or labels, are removed after Oct- 
ober first, so I hope you will make your plans before that date. We like to send out good rhizomes which we 
think will bloom the first year. We cannot always guarantee a rhizome will bloom. We are very often 
fooled by both large and small rhizomes ourselves --- much depends on the soil they are planted in, the 
amount of plant food available, the water and length of growing season, etc. 
OUR POLICY 
] prefer not to make collection offers. My offers last year were too sensational for good business, 
but I like to give every customer good value. My space is limited so some varieties will sell out early, 
but other varieties, perhaps very new ones, will be a little crowded and since I cannot keep much stock 
here, I will send along extra plants of fine varieties, but | preter that you list a number of alternates 
which I may use in substituting should any variety be sold out, then I will use your list of alternates to 
send extra or premium iris and they will be iris you especially want, for I cannot possibly guess what 
you may have in your garden. I have made some good and some very bad guesses and | prefer not to 
have to Guess. 
20% discount will be allowed on orders over $10.00 not listing alternates. 
OFFER OF SEEDLINGS 
Again | will offer some of my pink numbered seedlings at $3.00 each. These are good, but will 
not be named. Sister seedlings to pinks at $1.00 each with pedigree furnished. I will have seedlings in 
other colors, as well, at $1.00 each pedigrees furnished so give me an idea what you want as to color, 
pedigree, etc. No discount on seedlings, or iris seed, 
TALL BEARDED IRIS SEED 
Seed from select parents in any Calories. 2.2 5c each. 
Seed from my deepest pink, Pink Formal, (used either way) ............ 10c each. 
Seed from Elmohr, Ormohr or Suez ............ 10c each. 
Chance pods (probably thrip pollinated, so would be selfed) from good named varieties (pod 
parent given), and selected seedlings theese Qc each. 
Seeds will be sent postpaid about September Ist. Count will be good. 
Seedlings are easy to grow (but lots of work. ) If seed is planted in a cold frame in October in 
a good light sandy, but rich soil, and transplanted before the tall bearded iris start to bloom many of 
them will bloom the following spring, if well cared for, fertilized, and watered regularly. To insure germ- 
ination the ‘seed beds should be kept moist in early spring as soon as the snows or rains are gone. | use 
wood stakes planed and marked with permanent India Ink (black) for my markers. The crosses should be 
well marked and breeding records kept accurately (It's more fun, that way) so you know what you are 
doing and where the good ones come from. India Ink is also useful for wood or plastic markers for the

to do this work, I love so well, and look even half-way respectable. Our peak bloom is May 17th to 30th.
