ally hen Gr sat pressure has been brought to bear on us to maintain Iris Prices with 
the Tris Combine. _ . 
Here are a few angles. 
nve _ Two National Magazines refused to print or accept our full page advertise- 
ment; this advertisement gave our prices and premiums ad per this Catalog, 
and also our guarantee. 
The reason given by both Magazines, was that “‘OUR prices are wholesale 
and not retail.”’ 
Might be some advertisers might have objected to our advertisement, and 
| so notified the Magazines in question; for we don’t think that any magazine of 
any kind would of its own accord do a thing like this. 
i Now in fairness to the more liberal minded Magazines that did print and 
place this Catalog before their subscribers; we wish to give the names of the 
Magazines that really considered their subscribers, and give them the wonder- 
ful values we offer. 
These Magazines are as follows: Sunset Magazine, Horticulture, The Home 
Garden. Garden and the Gardeners Chronicle. 
As long as Magazines of this type will give the public a chance to buy 
**At wholesale prices and less’? when premium brackets as used by us are 
considered, then the Cartel system will be given their proper competition. 
We believe that our methods of pricing will give Iris to the great American 
Public, that will buy and show these new things to their friends and neighbors, 
and heavy Iris buying will result, and every Iris dealer will reap the harvest 
No dealer or Magazine canever show that the rhizomes we ship are not top 
size, and that we do not live up to our guarantee and safeguard our customers 
in every way. You thousands of customers that have bought of us for years, 
know that we have the list of good things; we do furnish top size rhizomes, 
AND WE GUARANTEE them to grow as per our guarantee in our Catalog.

DEALERS » 
Dealers--write in your wants and have us quote you on your requirements, \ 
} We do not issue a dealer’s wholesale list, as our retail sales would soon Ny 
shoot such a list all to pieces, and not be valid on late orders. ‘ 
f After August 15 we sometimes have a surplus on some varieties, and we v 
a can quote you an attractive price. So, by the time you figure you are short x 
, on some varieties it will pay you to submit your wants. Strong, heavy stock \ 
will be furnished you in every case. ‘ 
We have a heavy dealer business every year, and if we did not satisfy « 
our dealers they would not come back year in and year out for our heavy N 
stock. 
All quotations are F.O.B. Yakima. ‘ 
: POOLED ORDERS FROM GARDEN CLUBS, Etc. X 
To save lots of work for the Directors of Pooled Orders: You may send 
in each order to be mailed direct to each member of the pool. This will 
save you trans-shipment to each member, and deliveries will be made direct 
to each member. 
However, the pooled orders in total must come from the Directors direct 
to us. We will do the rest, by sending acknowledgment to each member. 
If this idea will save time and work for the directors of the pooled orders 
we are glad to help. 
WRITE FOR A SUPPLY OF ORDER BLANKS SO YOU CAN SEND IN 
NAMES AND ADDRESSES AND IRIS VARIETIES WANTED FOR EACH IN- 
DIVIDUAL ORDER IN THE POOL. 
This, of course, costs us more Parcel Post, but the Iris Rhizomes will 
arrive sooner to the one ordering and will arrive in better condition for plant- 
ing. 
eae think—on $75 orders, you get half price.
