I guarantee that all bulbs shall reach my customers 
safely, and that they shall be of good quality. If bulbs 
are lost in transit, or are not good, I will either replace 
them or refund the money, at my option. 
Claims for damage must be made immediately on 
receipt of the bulbs or plants. 
A large part of my bulbs are grown at "The Terraces;" 
all are of superior quality, and, whether collected or 
garden grown, it is my aim to sell only the best. 
All California bulbs should be planted either in fall or 
early winter if the best results are desired. Very few can 
be kept in good condition later than January I. I will 
not fill orders for Erythroniums later than December I, 
and after January I I can supply only Lilies. 
Hardy Plants, Shrubs and Ferns can be shipped until 
April with few exceptions. 
In every instance I deliver all goods, except trees and 
shrubs, free of carriage, charges within the United 
States. Under the postal regulations, I can ship n 
pounds by post to Great Britain, Germany, Holland and 
some other countries. I can pack any order in parcels 
within these weights, and will, in every case, prepay 
postage and guarantee safe delivery. The post is both 
cheaper and more rapid for foreign shipments. 
Quotations are for one and per dozen. Six will be sent 
at dozen rates. 
Unless forbidden in your order, I reserve the right to 
send you equally good sorts and better value than you 
asked for, when a stock is exhausted.
