A FEW DON'TS. 



DON'T think tliat in ordering- a few bulbs you will compass a wide 

 range of varieties, for we have over ten thousand. We do claitn, however, 

 that even in small quantities, you will secure a larger variety of high 

 quality, than in an\' other stock offered at the same, and liigher prices. 



DON'T, whether you buy our stock or tliat of others, pick out the 

 largest bulbs froiti a collection or mixture, and imagine you have the best 

 quality, for by so doing, you may eliminate from your purchase, varieties 

 of high quality which never produce large bulbs. 



DON'T, if you have been led into paying high prices for medium and 

 poor quality under high sounding names, fail to give our stock a trial 

 order. Compare quality and prices, and select from the stock and secure 

 at small cost, if you wish, a collection of greater value than is possible 

 under the obsolete naming system. 



All stock herein offered, is subject to prior sale, and orders received 

 are not binding until accepted in writing. 



In filling orders, no substitutions will be nvade unless so instructed. 

 Stock for greenhouse forcing can be shipped in the Autumn after the 

 bulbs are thoroughly cured. 



Special discount to seedsmen, or to those ordering in lots of ten thou- 

 sand or more. 



Our fields, which will be more extensive and beautiful this year than 

 ever before, are near the railroad station and during the blooming season 

 (July to October) I shall consider it a pleasure to receive and show 

 visitors through them. 



Parties cfmtemplating a visit should advise me a day or two in ad- 

 vance. 



ORDER EARLY. 



Every season, orders reach us too late to be properly executed, on 

 account of the required early planting of some very late flowering varieties.

 COUNTY AND STATE. 



Remittances should accompany all orders from unknown purchasers,
