Pink Seedlings 
We have some fine numbered pink seedlings, new seedlings from Pink Formal last year, and 
many more to bloom this season. Pink seedlings under number will be sold at $2.00 each. Some 
unnumbered pinks from Pink Formal crosses will be sold at $3.00 each. Sister seedlings, or other 
colors, not pink,, will be $1.00 each, pedigrees furnished. 
Pollen 
Pollen of Pink Formal will be sold from May 20th to 30th at $5.00 per 9 stemens. Other Pollens 
at 10% of Catalogue price per rhizome. 
Tall Bearded. Iris Seed 
Last year | offered to make crosses, and in many instances it was possible to make these, but 
some varieties were spoiled with rain, failed to bloom, had no pollen, or failed to set seed, etc., 
and some disappointment naturally resulted, although most fanciers were pleased to have me 
substitute some of my own work in the same color classes, so this year | will again offer seed, and 
you may suggest colors, or one parent. Not less than 20 seeds from a cross will be sold due to the 
work and time involved in making the crosses, labeling, and writing the enveloves, etc. You are 
more likely, anyway, to get something better from 20 seeds than you would from only 4 to 5 seeds. 
Seeds will be 5c each in any color class. Crosses, however, from Pink Formal used either way 
will be 10c each. | will not offer seed this year from such difficult parents as the hybrids (Elmohr, 
Suez, etc.). But | will be glad to make some crosses using my Hoogie Boy if you so desire these 
‘but let me know early. These will be 10c each (as pollen parent). 
Seed will be mailed about September first. Do not ask for less than 20 seeds from a cross. 
Count will be good. 
SPECIAL: Chance seeds gathered from unusual crosses in pinks, blends, whites, blues, cop- 
pers, oranges, and plicatas, $1.00 per envelope (mixed blend) about !00 seeds. .
