BULBS, MY SELECTION, SHIPPED AFTER MAY 1st, FOR 



I made this offer for the first time in 1904. My customers are so delighted 

 with their bargains and tell so many of their friends about the liberality of 

 the offer that each season I dispose of a large number of these popular SI. 00 

 Bulb Collections. The proposition in a nutshell follows: Every vear, May 1st, 

 I have several thousand bulbs on hand, for it is an absolute impossibility 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 

 51.00 any time before May 1st, and I will book your order for 100 choice bulbs, my selection, to be filled In rotation as received, after May 1st. 

 In no case will bulbs be sent whose retail value is less than S3.00. January orders will be filled first, then February, then March, etc. The 

 first orders will receive the best selection, although the April orders will receive three times their money's worth. The February orders 

 may get ten times what $1.00 would buy if purchaser made the selection. Many of the bulbs will be worth 10, 15 and even 25 cents each. The 

 naokage will have to go by express, purchaser to pay transportation charges. 



"Remember, please, that this offer is for surplus bulbs only, and hence I must select the varieties. Packages vary in size, and I do not 

 prepay transportation charges. Buyers who prefer to do so can send 25 cents extra, and I will deliver without additional cost.
