My Game of Skill and Profit for ‘55 
==FIND the 40== 
SECRET VARIETIES 
GET TWO RHIZOMES FOR THE 
PRICE OF ONE 
Again in 1954 my SECRET VARIETY game proved to be by 
far the most popular contest | ever presented, partly because 
everyone can win, and partly because the cash savings mount 
up so rapidly as to be almost unbelievable. So | have ex- 
panded this favorite pastime and have spread it liberally 
throughout this entire catalog. Now, with just a little excit- 
ing study, you can obtain Iris of almost every type under 
this money-saving plan. 
In this catalog, for you to find, are 38 hidden Secret Va- 
rieties, one hidden SUPER SECRET VARIETY, and one AN- 
NOUNCED SECRET VARIETY, as explained below, making a 
total of 40. As in the past, each hidden Secret Variety is 
identified by the fact that one word (of 3 letters or more) in 
the variety description has only the last letter as a capital 
letter. For example, the word ‘‘glitterinG.” 
If you find some or all of these and include any or all of 
them on your order, each followed by ‘‘Secret Variety,” you 
may list each at two for the price of one. | do not send the 
extra rhizome unless your order calls for two. 
SUPER SECRET VARIETY 
To arouse nation-wide excitement to an even higher pitch 
than last year, | add this great feature for the first time. 
Somewhere in this catalog there is just one SUPER SECRET 
VARIETY, clearly identified by the fact that its description 
contains two words, instead of one, with only a final cap- 
ital letter. When you find this variety you may list it on your 
order at 3 for the price of one. 
ANNOUNCED SECRET VARIETY 
A paradox? Yes, a famous variety, heralded and made 
known, yet it is a secret as to how it can be secured at two 
for the price of one. Just to make sure that you read all of 
my special offers and other helpful material in this catalog, 
| have put one of the words with a final capital in a portion 
of the text that is not a variety description. If you find this 
you get two rhizomes of REAL GOLD, my fascinating new 
Oncobred, for the price of one. While this is a Secret Variety, 
it is a special one, and unlike the others, is available this 
way only if you give after “Real Gold’ on your order the 
word you have found elsewhere in this catalog with only the 
last letter capitalized.

ORDER SECRET VARIETIES PROMPTLY 
| have bought large stocks of all Secret Varieties and 
hope they will last through the shipping season. But nat- 
urally | cannot be sure of this, so | must reserve the right to 
cancel this offer for any variety that becomes sold out. 
Send your order by Air and AT ONCE; get it to me while | still 
have all 40 Secret Varieties available. This sensational offer 
of 2 for the price of 1 applies, obviously, only where you pay 
full price for 1, and not to any varieties in collections or 
free offers. 
“Ll am sending herewith my order and check by Air Mail. 
Your secret variety game is fascinating encouragement. 1

or 5 times as many.’ Mrs, Dell M. Blanchard, Decatur,
