J. M. THORBURN & CO/S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



Prices, as will be seen upon comparison with others are as low 

 as Highest Grade Bulbs can be sold at, and do not include trans- 

 portation. 



We indicate under each heading of the various Bulbs, the mailing 

 weight when packed, so that if wanted by parcel post, our Customers 

 can determine the amount required to be added for postage according 

 to Zone rate, as per table below. 



The weights given are those taken 

 from our stock last year, and may 

 vary in some instances; should there 

 be any difference in weight when 

 orders are filled, the postage will be 

 adjusted, and any amounts over re- 

 mitted will be returned. 



On shipments of 1 5 lbs. and up- 

 wards it is best to send by express, 

 wherever possible, as by special 

 arrangements with the express com- 

 panies, bulbs travel at a reduction of 

 25 per cent, from regular rates; it 

 is therefore both safer, and, in nearly 

 all cases, cheaper, to send large pack- 

 ages by express instead of by mail.
