Items of Interest 
Do you know of any other flower than the lily that can prolong its blooming period from May until Sep¬ 
tember? Have lilies blooming in your garden all summer, and there is nothing prettier for your outdoor living 
rooms. 
Candidum, Testaceum and Muscari are dormant in July—please place your orders early. 
Will you kindly not send me orders for less than $2.00—the cost of delivery in the East, particularly, is so 
great. 
I do not ship bulbs from my fields until they have budded to bloom at least one year. (Giganteum Himala- 
icum is an exception, as it should have a chance to become well established a year in your garden before bloom¬ 
ing.) I pick off the flowers in their early stages or while still in bud to give the customer the benefit of a stur¬ 
dier bulb. Thus I try to send out the very best bulbs possible to obtain. However, I cannot guarantee them to 
live or grow in your garden under conditions over which I have no control. 
The bulbs will be shipped at the proper planting date, according to the time they go dormant. Lilies do not 
like to lie out of the ground longer than positively necessary, so please place your orders early, and I will ship 
them direct from my fields. 
If you are not already a customer, kindly send your check with order.
