Please Read Carefully 
Before Ordering 
ORDER EARLY—Unless specific instructions are given for 
later shipment we fill orders in rotation received. We some- 
times get a bit behind during the rush season and the early 
order, of course, gets out first. 
CONCERNING POSTAGE —ALL SHIPMENTS WILL BE 
SENT EXPRESS COLLECT UNLESS POSTAGE IS IN- 
CLUDED. 15% East of the Mississippi, and Texas, Okla- 
homa, Arkansas, Louisiana; 10% in other states West of 
the Mississippi river. Shipments over $10.00 in the states 
of Idaho, Washington, Oregon will be prepaid. Shipments to 
Alaska, Eastern Canada, the Islands, and Foreign Countries 
must be shipped by Air Mail to avoid delay. See paragraph, 
“Air Mail Shipment.” 
Due to increased Express rates we strongly recommend 
parcel post shipments on all small orders. 
Minimum Order—On orders for less than $3.00 please add 
50c for postage and handling charges. 
Cash With Order—Please send remittance with order as we 
do not like to ship C. O. D. It is an additional expense to you 
and often causes delay. 
Sales Tax—Washington residents will please add 3% sales tax. 
Air Mail Shipment is advisable on highly perishable items. 
We are glad to ship C.O.D. for the Air Mail charge if re- 
mittance for plants accompanies order. 
WE WILL PREPAY—We will prepay Iris orders amounting 
to $3.00 or more to any part of the U. S. A. This applies to 
Iris alone and other plants will not be included in the 
same shipment. 
RESPONSIBILITY—While we endeavor to fill all orders with 
the greatest of care, we can accept no responsibility, either 
express or implied for failure with stock purchased from 
us as there are too many existing conditions over which we 
have no control. Any stock that is not received in good 
condition will be replaced if we are notified within 5 days 
after receipt of shipment. No complaints will be entertained 
later than this. 0 
Canadian Shipments—Our Canadian customers must first 
obtain a permit from the Department of Agriculture at 
Ottawa. Plants will then be shipped as requested. If ship- 
ment is to be made by mail, please add 15% for postage. 
See paragraph, ‘Concerning Postage.” 
Asterisk (*)—All plants thus marked are suitable for the front 
row border, edging, rockeries, wall gardens, etc. 
May We Substitute?— When permitted to substitute we always 
give extra value even if no substitute is necessary. Our col- 
lection is large and contains many items of which stock is 
limited and if we are sold out we appreciate the opportunity 
of substituting. 
NOTE—PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO ACCEPT ORDERS 
FOR THREE PLANTS OF DIFFERENT KINDS AT THE 
THREE OF ONE KIND RATE. Three and dozen rates apply 
only to identical plants and not to a combination of sev- 
eral different varieties from a group. 
Visitors Welcome 
In our display beds we have well developed specimens of 
practically everything listed in this catalog as well as many 
hundreds of other perennial novelties. This year we are 
growing about 400 varieties of Tall Bearded Iris, including 
many new ones. The first week in June is the best time to 
see these: In the fall we will have about 300 varieties of the 
finest Chrysanthemums in flower. The public is cordially 
invited to visit these displays at any time. We are located 
just one mile from the center of Spokane’s business district. 
To reach us, go north on Division Street to Boone Avenue 
(Burgan’s Big Store). We are just one block north and one 
block east of there.

Banta Pigeons 
LIVE ORNAMENTS FOR YOUR GARDEN 
Nothing is more lovely than these beautiful birds strutting 
about a garden. They are as proud as peacocks of their huge, 
beautiful tails and fairly quiver with éxcitement as they 
strut about. Their soft cooing is always delightfully sooth- 
ing, and as they are not very strong flyers, due to the weight 
of the heavy tail, they are always close to their home which 
can be regulated at will. An artistically built dove cote atop 
a post, or a shelf placed inside an out building with a small 
hole cut through to let them in and out will do nicely. 
These birds are impervious to cold providing they have a 
dry home that is free from draft and safe from rodents. 
Pigeons should be fed whole grain only. Where regular 
pigeon mix is not available at your feed store, the following 
is quite satisfactory: 3 parts red wheat, 2 parts whole corn, 
1 part whole peas. If regular pigeon grit is not available, 
the birds should have access at all times to table salt, oyster 
shell and common chicken grit. 
Pigeons can only be transported by Express as they must 
be cared for enroute. They will be shipped collect for trans- 
portation charges. ; 
We can supply reds, yellows, blues, blacks, whites and sil- 
vers at $6.00 a pair, and saddles (white birds with colored 
wings) at $7.50 a pair.
