Foreword 
This large specialty business has been built up by our many thousands of 
customers, and we do want to thank each and every one for the business en- 
trusted us in the past. 
Each season many Iris Catalogs will be received by the fancier, and the 
selection of the one to entrust your business is naturally very important to 
you. . 
So here are the points we make that will prove to you that your business 
should be entrusted to us. 
Our prices are our own; we belong to no price fixing combination, and our 
prices are based on amount of stock we have on hand of each variety. 
By volume of business as in the past, we can and do give you fine values. 
Our rhizomes are good, strong, husky ones; the kind that will do good for 
you. Read our guarantee on rhizomes below. 
Our stock is positively grown in a climate that is not rainy, and as we use 
the sprinkling system on water we can give the plants water when required. 
Not too much as in the rainy belts, or too little, just enough to make them 
keep growing properly. 
Rainy districts cannot give you the rhizomes we can give you, as they can- 
not be hardened off properly before shipment. 
We issue no expensive color catalogs as we feel what you want is not pic- 
tures, but stock reasonably priced, and not cost inflated. 
Look over our premiums carefully; figure our way; then figure the other fel- 
low’s way and you will be surprised at the cost on what you want. 
Our business relations will always meet your approval. 
All old customers can again select 10% extra premium value; this in addi- 
tion to the regular premiums. We do this to show our appreciation for the large 
business entrusted to us in the past. 
This Catalog cancels our 195] Catalog, and no varieties are offered except * 
the ones listed in this Catalog.
