MAKE YOUR OWN SPECIAL COLLECTIONS 
“The More Cash You Send, the Larger the Discounts” 
It is my opinion that when you buy the average special collection, you pay practically 
as much as you do when you order in the regular way. Take the average Catalog and 
figure up all the extra discount, the extra stock offered with orders, and the promise of 
free bulbs of high priced varieties on larger orders, as well‘as cash coupons and if we 
“call a spade a spade'’ you can readily see where the (NET) Retail, prepaid price will 
amount, in reality, to 20% to 50% less than the actual listed prices. We find that the 
general rule where (collections) are offered is to offer them NET without any extra 
Catalog discounts. For myself, when I purchase, I like to get NET prices without a lot 
of Catalog extras that I may or may not desire. So I am going to let you select your own 
collections if you want them—HERE ARE THE RULES: 
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS: Catalog discounts do not apply: We offer Large, 
medium, and small bulbs, also bulblets, as listed in the Discriptive Retail Price List; All 
collections must be priced from $2.00 up, and no one item is to be for less than ,20c and 
by an item we mean .20c worth, or more, of any one size as listed. Proceed the same as 
you do in ordering in regular way, enter quantity wanted, size wanted, Name of variety, 
and the catalog price of the item, or items, that you have selected, add up the total price, 
and send cash in full with order; When we receive your order, marked SPECIAL COL¬ 
LECTION OFFER, we will increase the quantity of each item ordered, from 15% up, 
depending on value of the order, the varieties ordered, etc.; We will then mail you a 
copy of the new increased order; we will just show the new figures, and omit the quantity 
you put down, so keep a copy of your original order for comparison; If you are not 
satisfied after receiving your copy of order, as received, you may cancel same and your 
money will be returned at once, this offer is made subject to full approval. 
REASONS FOR THIS OFFER: To give you the lowest net price we can offer, 
minus all Catalog extras the same as others are doing in their pages of Special Offers. In 
this way we can make somewhat better discounts than are offered on Terms of Sale Page 
as there are general discounts and extras, while with this plan I am trying, the discounts 
will be more individual, depending on what you order, the value of the order, and the 
quantity we have available. In some instances, discounts on single items may run as high 
as 50%, at least you will be the judge and are under no obligation to accept if not as big a 
value as any other grower offers. We will increase quantity and if necessary size. Should 
we happen to be out of an item, or size, as often happens, when you order in the regular 
way, we will cancel such item, and in its place show a good substitute, or other size; if 
such substitution is not desired, you can let us know if you desire money returned, or 
apply to any other item on list, a post card will do, of course we may have all items on 
hand, but all growers must consider the matter of a possible substitution at times. 
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS: ALL COLOR MIXTURES: We receive so many 
letters from customers telling us they like a nice assortment of good colors and good 
varieties, but do not care to keep them under separate label; We make these collections 
for these patrons; All hand mixed and assorted in a well balanced mixture; Prices are for 
large bulbs, with 25 or 50 bulbs at 100 rate price. (30) or more good varieties in mixture; 
$2.00. (40) or more varieties in mixture; $3.00. (50) or more varieties in mixture; $4.00 
per 100 prepaid. Medium sizes at one-half these prices; If there should be any particular 
colors or varieties you do not want included, just make a notation on order to that effect. 
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS: COMMERCIAL CHAMPIONS MIXTURE: 20 or 
more varieties all colors. We use ONLY our very strongest growers, the new and proven 
champions of commerce, we use varieties like Betty Nuthall, Aflame, Mrs. FCH, and 
similar varieties, the idea is to give you a mixture that will give you nice results under all 
kinds of trying conditions, and will even stand a little neglect, and still give you nice 
flowers, and will have a long life, Large, $3.00 per 100; Medium, $2.00 and Small $1.00; 
25 or more at the 100 rate.
