FOREWORD

We take this opportunity to greet you and trust this year, 1932, will be a most pleasant and profi¬ table one. It is a pleasure to present you with our modest little catalogue describing to the best of our ability the different varieties of Irises which we offer. Growing of these plants started as a hobby and is yet to a certain extent; we do so be¬ cause we get a genuine pleasure in studying these plants as they grow, making records, keeping all stakes “put” and seeing that nothing goes wrong with them. We have a mighty fine lot of plants ready for your garden and we sincerely trust that you will give us a chance this year to show just what our sturdy plants from Old Kentucky can do in your garden.

CATALOGUE FOR 1933

We wish to send our catalogue to all interested persons from one year to another but we must adopt some sort of measure in order to cut down useless expenses. Beginning with this issue we shall keep in file all requests for our catalogues for two years as well as those who have ordered from us. Those who request our catalogue this year will be presented with this issue as well as the copy for 1933 and if no order is received for either year, then the name will be dropped from our mailing list.

General Information

Please Read Carefully

TERMS

Cash with order or before shipment is made. We cannot send plants C. O. D. We will hold your order for one-fourth of the purchase price. NO ORDER WILL BE HELD WITHOUT SUCH A DEPOSIT.

ACCEPTANCE

All orders will be booked and shipped strictly in order as received, subject to stock being unsold

(6)

or available on receipt of order. To insure having your order filled in its entirety, we ask that you send in your order EARLY. Late orders are sel¬ dom filled completey on account of stock being sold out. When we cannot send certain varieties we shall notify and refund your money at time of shipment.

DELIVERY

We prefer to ship rhizomes of Irises as soon af¬ ter the blooming season as possible. We consider June and July the best months to plant since plants have all summer to establish themselves. By planting in June and July, the plants have plenty of time to become established before winter sets in and they will not heave out during the winter.

PLANT IRISES IN JUNE AND JULY AND TAKE NO CHANCES ON HAVING THE PLANTS HEAVING OUT IN SPRING THROUGH ALTER¬ NATE THAWING AND FREEZING.

We prepay postage on all orders for $1.50 or more and for less than this amount please add 20c for postage and packing. We try and ship your orders within one to three days, providing weather condi¬ tions permit. We cannot dig Irises in a wet field. Please note that all rhizomes are shipped in a dry conditoin in excelsior. This is the only and proper way to ship. Also note that all rhizomes have been treated with SEMESAN BEL to prevent rots . This is the added service we are giving our patrons.

PRICES

This list cancels prices of all previous lists. All prices are net cash with order. We have tried to make the price as low as possible, consistent with the production of HIGH QUALITY stock. We are confident that no better plants can be had any¬ where in America than those grown on our place.

Prices are for single, strong field grown trans¬ plants. Please note that June rhizomes are small¬ er than those taken in August. The reason for this is that they have not completed their growth in June, but June plants, from our experience, make better plants and will be more likely to bloom the

(7)

next spring. DO NOT expect to get maximum bloom the first year after transplanting. It takes the second season to get fine exhibition fiowers.

OUR GUARANTEE

We exercise every precaution to keep our stock fromm from disease and the deadly Borer, and we believe that every variety on our place is true to , name and in case that you receive plants not as

i

represented, we guarantee to replace two plants for each one bought, upon return of the stock bought of us. Please let us know if goods are not satisfactory when received, or later.

SUBSTITUTIONS

We never substitute other varieties unless we are requested to do so. In case we are sold out of a certain variety we shall refund your money.

COMPLAINTS

All complaints regarding your shipment must be made within twenty-four hours after arrival of plants. Before returning plants to use, write us, and in the meantime leave the plants spread out in a dry place so that they do not touch each oth¬ er. DO NOT KEEP THEM PACKED TIGHT IN ANY CONTAINER AS THIS WILL INDUCE ROTS.

EXTRA SPECIAL

As a reward for placing your order with us be¬ fore the first of June, and your order amounting to at least $2.50, we shall be glad to include one strong rhizome of MORNING SPLENDOR IRIS absolutely free. Remember this offer expires the first of June, 1932.

BARGAINS

This spring we sent out a circular advertising 100 iris rhizomes, 1 each of 100 varieties for $3.00, express collect. We were surprised at the number of orders received for which we thank you. Many of our friends wrote us that they could not use

(8)

more than 25 or 50 at the most so we have de¬ cided to continue this offer in this catalogue. Re¬ member we make no charge for packing but you are to pay the express or postage. If you should care to have them sent by mail please enclose postage extra and we will be glad to send them that way. Now here’s the offer:

Twenty-five plants, no two alike for $1.00, post¬ age 20c extra; 50 plants, no two alike, for $1.75, postage 30c extra; 100 plants, no two alike, for $3.00, but must go by express collect.

All of the plants are named varieties but at above prices are not named with labels. It takes a lot of time to label each plant and at above prices we cannot afford to do it. We will be glad to label each plant for 2c per plant extra.

We can make this offer only as follows: We must have all the orders in by a specified date so that to make it economical we dig all the orders as one big order. Therefore we must ask that you get your order to us by June 11 so that we can assemble the orders and begin digging the plants to be shipped during the week of June 13-20. No orders will be filled singly and please do not ask us to do so. We guarantee that every plant sent you v/ill be a standard named variety and no seedlings are destroyed.

COLLECTIONS

We ordinarily do not make up collections for the catalogue. We are going to start something which we believe is novel. We are going to let you make up your collection at bargain prices. It is this: You make up your order just as if it was your regular order. Then you deduct one-fourth from the regular price and send us the balance. For instance, if your order amounts to $10, deduct one-fourth from the $10, which leaves $7.50, the amount you send us. In this way you will get just what you want in your collection at a bargain price. In most bargains there will probably be some varieties that you do not want or already have an dtherefore you do not like to pay for these when you want something else. Therefore we believe that you will like our new novel bargain of¬ fer this year. We pay the postage on all orders

(9)

provided your order amounts to $1.50. Remember that on a $2.00 order all you have to send us is $1.50.

VARIETIES

We can hear you say, “Now what varieties should I order?” At one time we had more than 900 varieties on our place. We now have less than 150, the rest have been discarded because some of the older ones have been superseded by newer va¬ rieties in size, form and purity of color. Many of the older varieties we have kept and probably will because of their usefulness in making a fine land¬ scape. This is what we take it you are buying most of your flowers for, to make a picture in your garden . Consequently for the past two years we have been going over our fields while in bloom, and contrasting and eliminating those varieties that we felt could be dropped out of the list. We therefore list only the best, not many of them are high in price, yet we have this year cut the prices to the middle of the bone. Therefore in choosing your varieties pick out as near as possible from our color descriptions the varieties that you think you will like. All are fine irises and you can't go We have many very fine letters from all parts far wrong in picking out any variety on our list. We have many very fine letters from all parts of the country telling us how well our plants grow and bloom and you need not fear bad results from our plants. Reports from the cold regions of Canada are extra good. It is not the cold that hurts the plants but the changing weather condi¬ tions, and take it from us, we have it here in Old Kentucky.

We would appreciate it very much to have the opportunity to show you how our plans will per¬ form in your gardens.

CULTURE OF IRISES

With every order we will include a sheet of in¬ structions “what to do and what not to do”, to grow fine irises. This will be free to you.
