IT’S EASY TO ORDER BY MAIL 
As explained in the different sections, Iris 
are shipped all through the summer and fall. 
They may be ordered at any time, but we strongly 
recommend ordering yery soon after this cata- 
log reaches you, since the choicest items, that 
you particularly desire, may be sold out if you 
wait. Hundreds of people order by AIR MAIL 
to insure getting everything they want, and we 
are nearly always able to fill such orders in full. 
If you need Iris during the winter or early 
spring we can very likely accommodate you. 
Please send your remittance with your order, 
which will be acknowledged when received. Per- 
sonal checks, postal or express money orders, 
or bank drafts may be used and may be made 
out to Lloyd Austin. Currency, or even stamps 
are acceptable on small orders.
