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 portion of our good customers will not 
ask for anything that they feel is not right. 
“The Proper “lime to Plaut 
Bearded Treo 
There is a definite dormant period of Iris Rhizomes, and with 
us that period is July and August. From many experiments 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 ; | a 
dry. DO NOT PULL OFF THIS DRY FAN as the wound will be | ) 
a soft spot later and may cause of 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. _ ee 
They are clean and certifed before shipping. 
Beware of too much fertilzer. If in doubt what to use, use a is 
bone meal only.
