Greetings To All From Fox Brook Iris,

 Spring shipment seemed to work well for most and we anticipate this
year's early shipment range to be from mid to late April (dependent on
the season). Please specify if you would like spring or late summer
shipping. We ship in August and you can specify early or late, but we
cannot ship after September 1 (as a result of the way our season is). We
can pot orders for pick up, please specify if you would prefer this to
shipment. We have found that plants that are dug and potted early in the
spring transplant better later on because the roots have become
established.
 It should be noted that some things are in short supply, so we would
appreciate it if you could specify a substitute or two, or if you would
like a refund. If you are looking for something special, please ask, we
may have it and just are not listing it. We fill orders in the order
that they are received. Shipping prices are as follows (by priority
mail): $5.00 for the first five plants, $6.00 for 6-10, $7.00 for 11-15,
etc. Minimum order amount is $20.00.

Previous Japanese Introduction

R. Giskard - SPEC. Steve Smith (Sdlg. No. 92Sp.E.-2A), 60". EM-L.

nicely-formed standards.
