PRICES, DISCOUNTS, OVERCOUNT, QUALITY AND 
DISEASE FREE STOCK 
Taking into consideration the fact that most of our 
stock is being propagated from direct importations 
from the foreign originators and that no stock may 
be offered for sale under two years of growing time 
here in U. S. together with the duty into this country, 
the prices stay up over a longer period of time than 
those of our domestic varieties, making it impossible 
to quote on very large amounts at wholesale prices 
until stock has increased to sufficient amounts to enable 
one to quote prices that will not simply be trading 
dollars in order to make a sale. Many prices being 
quoted this season here are lower than prices being 
quoted by the originators in their home markets. This 
state of affairs does not seem reasonable to insure true 
healthy stock, but this being the case many other 
catalogers fall right into line and state they will meet 
the prices of all comers. Just remember that price of 
a few cents on many of these fine varieties does not 
mean so much when quality of bulbs and fair treatment 
are taken into consideration in making out your orders. 
On orders of fair size from retail trade we will 
make worth while reductions wherever it is possible by 
adding extras and overcount and we wish that you 
would just leave that to us and we do want you to 
state if there are some varieties that you are interested 
in and we will do our best to help you out if we have 
sufficient stock in these particular ones. 
To growers entitled to wholesale prices, catalogers 
and professionals, we will cooperate with you to the 
extent that you are willing to cooperate with us. 
All of our stock was treated with bi-chloride of 
mercury at planting time, no lye solutions were used, 
we have no need of spraying this season as no thrip 
appeared in our plantings according to our federal 
inspectors so we can assure you of good healthy clean 
stock that is true to name as far as is possible to have 
the same. Though a mistake be made we will willingly 
correct the same with replacements with the average 
increase of bulblets. 
We will not guarantee the germination of our 
bulblet stock but will see that you get fine plump 
bulblets to start with and you will have to do the rest 
to bring them on. Practically all of our stock being 
offered was raised under overhead irrigation this 
season which was necessary due to the severe weather 
conditions here in the middle west, the result of the 
irrigation was most gratifying but we have found that 
our bulblet production has been cut down as compared 
to former years so many varieties we will not list in 
bulblet size to enable us to increase our stock that we 
sold down rather low on last season. 
TREAT ALL STOCK BEFORE PLANTING 
This does not refer to our stock alone but to every 
bulb you plant no matter where you buy or if you 
grew it yourself. 
The Bi-chloride of mercury seems to have the most 
favorable reports where stocks are stored in fairly 
warm basements.
