Our representative from Chicago visited the growing establishments of the 
Northwest during the blooming season to determine the healthiness of the 
bulbs while the bulbs were in growth and flower. This examination is impera¬ 
tive at this season of the year. We safeguard our customers with our own 
expert examination. Our confidence in our supplies, their reputation in their 
community and their fairness in their dealings enable us to offer you assur¬ 
ance that no bulbs leave the West Coast in any way superior to the quality 
you receive through us. 
IMPORTANT! GUARANTEED!! Every bulb shipped to us that we reship ta 
you is a guarantee that no flowers have been cut at any time for market or 
otherwise. For years we have tried, and through the assistance of many of our 
customers, have appealed to Ihe Narcissus growers of America not to cut 
flowers to enter in competition with the florists who buy bulbs to force in 
the greenhouse. 
First—it deteriorates the forcing quality of the bulb. Second—it deteriorates 
the reproducing quality of the bulb by weakening the stock. Third—it affects 
the market and enters seriously into competition with the greenhouse bulb 
forcer. 
We are on record to the West Coast growers to embody in their code that 
no cut flowers are to be shipped to the eastern markets by bulb growers sign¬ 
ing the Growers' Agreement Code. We are glad to inform you that 98 per cent 
of the bulb growers do not cut or ship flowers to the market. 
Customers desiring extra large bulbs, those handling private estate trade, 
can secure from us a limited quantity of King Alfred measuring 25 ctm. and 
up. Four and five flowers are not uncommon in our extra size King Alfred.
