1949 PRICE LIST 
After many years of Iris as a hobby we come to a turning point where we must 
commercialize on a small scale in order to keep buying the newer and lovlier Iris 
which are being introduced each year in such large numbers. 
As most of you know, we have been Hybridizing for almost 20 years, and have 
peehe very nice Iris which we have originated. This year we will introduce several 
of them. 
We are situated in the northwestern part of Missouri. Our garden is mostly 
on the side of a hill where we really have the best drainage possible. 
Visit our Iris garden this spring and see what beautiful Iris can be grown here 
in the Midwest. 
Terms: Cash with order please. Draft, Check or Money Order. 
Postage prepaid on all orders of $8.00 or more, for orders of less amount add 
25c. Residents of Missouri please include 2% sales tax on all orders.
