A FEW DONTS. 
DON'T think that in ordering a few bulbs you will compass a wide 
range of varieties, for we have pver ten thousand. We do claim, however, 
. ^ that even in small quantities, you will secure 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 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 ofifered, 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 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 contemplating a visit should advise me a day or two in ad- 
vance. 
ORDER EARLY. 
'Jk Every season, orders reach us too late to be properly executed, on 
account of the required early planting of some very late flowering 
varieties.

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 order, New York draft, or 
cash by registered letter. Postage stamps accepted as cash. 
During the blooming season, usually between July 25th and frost 
time, I can furnish cut spikes of superior flowers in large or small quan- 
tities, and shall be pleased to quote prices upon application.
