MADE this offer for the first time in 1904, and the demand for this novel proposition was 
| surprising. My customers are so delighted with their bargains and told so many of their 
friends about the liberality of the offer that this year I expect to dispose of a large number 
of these popular $1.00 Bulb Collections. The proposition in a nutshell follows: 
Every year, May Ist, I have several thousand bulbs on hand, for it is an absolute impossibility 
B U L BS FO R to sell out everything. This year 1 propose to distribute at least part of this surplus among my 
friends in the following manner: 
Send me $1.00 any time this winter or spring, and I will book your order for 100 choice bulbs, 
sn) ] my selection, to be filled in rotation as received, after May Ist. In no ease will bulbs be sent 
® 
whose retail value is less than $3.00. January orders will be filled first, then February, then March, 
ete. The first orders will receive the best selection, although the April orders will receive three 
O02 08 080800860 eoRsBeARAARAnoeseoeMeMnResoneney times their money’s worth. The February orders may get ten times what $1.00 would buy if you 
= made the selection yourself. Many of the bulbs will be worth 10, 15 and even 25 cents each, and the 
a : . 
= package will be so large it will have to go by express, purchaser to pay the transportation charges.: 
a N. B.—If you prefer, send 25 cents extra, and I will deliver them without additional cost.
