make Spring shipments. Orders are filled in rotation and of course 
the early orders get the early shipment if so desired. 
To Condense the catalogue we have placed the older varieties 
in three seperate lists at the back of the catalogue, and we think you 
will find them very interesting, both as to varieties and also prices. 
On All Retail Orders of $10.00 or more you may choose 25% 
extra Iris free of charge. This offer does not apply to Quantity List, 
Special Offers, or varieties marked Net. Neither may they be chosen 
as premiums. 
On Smaller orders we always add extra plants of our choice 
and we would appreciate your naming some to guide us in our choice.

Our Catalogue first gives the variety name, then in parentheses 
the name of the introducer and date of introduction, followed by a 
brief description. We omit the height as it varies in different lo- 
calities. To also condense the catalogue we have omitted the awards 
given the different ones. You will find however that the majority 
of our lisitngs have received awards from the A.LS.
