A FEW DON'TS. 



DON'T think that in ordering a few bulbs you will compass 

 a wide range of varieties, for we have over ten thousand. We 

 do claim however, that even in small quantities, you will se- 

 cure a larger variety of high quality, than in any other stock 

 offered at the same, and higher prices. 



DON'T, whether you buy our stock or that of others, pick 

 out the largest bulbs from a collection or mixture, and im- 

 agine 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 made unless so in- 

 structed. 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 thousand or more. 



DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING. 



CAREFULLY SIGN YOUR NAME, POST OFFICE, 

 COUNTY AND STATE. 



Remittances should accompany all orders from unknown 

 purchasers, and may be made by post office order, express

Postage stamps accepted as cash. 



During the blooming season, usually between July 25th and 

 frost time, I can furnish cut stalks of superior flowers in large 

 or small quantities, and shall be pleased to quote prices on 

 these.
