Our guarantee of our Iris rhizomes to grow for you is based 
on the idea that a defective rhizome may get past our inspectors, 
and in that case we will replace this defective rhizome, if we are 
notified on or before October first, the year of delivery. 
Winter kill is something beyond our control, and if you have 
any winter kill we will make a special price on replacements. 
Abuses have crept in on reports from some of our customers, 
but we know that the large proportion of our good customers 
will not ask for anything that they feel is not right.

The Proper “Vime ta Plant Searded nis 
There is a definite dormant period of Iris rhizomes, and 
with us that period is July and August. From many experi- 
ments we find that planting Iris in these two months gives the 
best results and you are more certain to get bloom the next 
spring. Late planting will give you about the same increase, 
but blooming heavily is something else; so if you want blooms 
and for certain, plant in July and August. In later planting it is 
hard to get the plants well rooted to winter properly. No free 
replacement on winter kill. 
When rhizomes reach you a fan or so on the rhizomes will 
be dry. DO NOT PULL OFF THIS DRY FAN as the wound 
will be a soft spot later and may cause the rhizome to pass out 
of the picture. These dry fans will shove off of their own accord 
later, as the rhizome grows. 
Do not treat the rhizome with any chemical before planting. 
They are clean and certified before shipping.
