taken.

replacing the bulbs or by deducting the price from bill, at my option. 
GROWN IN CULTIVATION. — The largest part of my orders will be 
filled from bulbs of my own growing; these are larger, solider, and better 
ripened than collected bulbs. ESTThe collected bulbs used will be 
first-class. 
Date of Ripening and Shipment. 
Unless otherwise ordered, I make my main shipment about August ist, 
and send later sorts as they come in; unless specially noted, bulbs are 
ready August ist.

until January ist.

probable demand. I make a point of filling all orders if it is any way 
possible. I grow from 200.000 to 300 000 California bulbs annually.

Brodisea. 
These are handsome hardy bulbous plants of the Pacific slope of the 
United States. They have a few grassy radical leaves, and one or several 
slender stalks terminating in either an open umbel, or a dense umbellate 
head. Reliable bloomers, growing well in almost any soil or under any 
conditions. Perfectly hardy in the Eastern United States and Europe. 
The bulbs are easily kept dry for months, and are not at all subject to de- 
cay, and do not bruise readily, good points from a dealer's standpoint.
