Excerpt from Rare and Choice Irises, Peonies, Gladioli, Dahlias: Continuous Bloom in the Garden Few people realize the remarkable development and improvement that has been made m recent years in some of the new introductions of this delicately beautiful flower. Our stock of Perry's, Bliss, Cayeux, Vilmorin, Maron and other foreign novelties ls limited, as we can only dispose of the increase under import regulations, and of the more expensive varieties only one or two rhizomes can be spared this season, so late customers may be disappointed in securing them. Most of the stock of our rare varieties, both American and foreign, was secured direct from the introducers. Orders will be taken in the spring, but no deliveries of the rare varieties will be made until after blooming season is over. If our supply of any variety for sale is ex hansted when your order is received, you will be promptly advised and your money returned, not be kept waiting, as we have in many cases, two or three months, and then disappointed in' getting the desired plants.
