all the different sizes, at one time in one 
row, you will get flowers over a very 
long period of time, as the smaller bulbs 
require more time to develop spikes and 
so string out the flowering season. Of 
course, you can plant any given size 
bulbs at different dates, and so get 
flowers of the same variety through a 
long season, but where you do not wish 
to bother with many different plantings, 
but wish to plant all at one time, we sug- 
gest you purchase some of our $.50 as¬ 
sortments offered in this catalog. 
TERMS OF SALE FOR PREPAID 
LIST 
PURITY AND HEALTH: We have 
done all that any reliable grower can do, 
to keep stock true to label, and| in a 
clean, sound healthy condition, we could 
give you ballyhoo in place of facts, but 
we will not do so; you must be the judge 
of our products and service, and we in¬ 
tend to do all we can to merit your con¬ 
fidence. 
Our state nursery inspector has de¬ 
clared our Glads 100 percent free of 
thrips, but we will not neglect any pre¬ 
cautions, even though we feel our bulbs 
are, all that we represent them to be. If 
wanted, we will add naphthalene to the 
bulbs or give special fumigation. 
TERMS: All cash before shipment, 
otherwise C.O.D. for balance due; 20% 
with order will reserve for later ship¬ 
ment. 
DISCOUNTS FOR CASH: Dis¬ 
counts apply only to our prepaid list, not 
to our F.O.B. list. On orders of $3.00 
to $25.00 we allow 5% from our pre¬ 
paid prices. On orders of $25.00 to 
$50.00 we allow 10% from our prepaid 
prices, and on orders of $50.00 or more 
we will be pleased to quote special dis¬ 
counts, depending on value of the order, 
and supply available. Note—These dis¬ 
counts do not apply to our Wholesale 
Trade Quotations, offered per 1000 
F.O.B., Hamburg, N. Y. 
FREE BULB EXTRAS: As a gen¬ 
eral rule we allow about 10% extra 
count of all prepaid price items, of 1 up 
to 100 bulbs. Where we can not allow so 
much on one item, we try to make up on 
the other items, so that the extras will 
average about ten percent. At the thou¬ 
sand rates, we allow less; the quantity 
will depend on the net price of the item 
sold. This year we have allowed a cash 
discount, see above, but in addition, we 
will allow you to select bulbs of three of 
our finest varieties, Trevonian, all sizes; 
Allenwood, all sizes; Mrs. Ray Chase, 
Nos. 3-4-5 sizes. On orders over $5.00 
you may select, up to 10% of the value 
of your order, in stock of the varieties 
named, for example, if your order is 
$10.00, you select $1.00 worth of these 
varieties, entirely free, if order is $21.00 
you select $$2.10 value free, and all this 
in addition to our extra count and our 
cash discounts. We will try to send you 
the sizes you request, but if sold out we 
will be compelled to give you the next 
size, (only with prepaid bulb items). 
HOW SHIPPED: All bulbs and 
seeds offered in our regular Prepaid list, 
are sent by prepaid parcelpost or express, 
we will use our best judgment, in mak¬ 
ing shipment. We prefer to ship by ex¬ 
press in cold weather, as the parcelpost 
will not insure against freezing, but the 
express company will assume liability 
for frozen bulbs. If your order calls for 
items from both the prepaid list as well 
as our f.o.b. list, then we will send the 
entire order, express charges collect, and 
add enough extras, to the prepaid items, 
to more than adjust the difference. 
MERCHANDISE: Other than bulbs 
and seeds, some items are prepaid and 
some are not, but all such quotations are 
“net” and cash discounts do not apply. 
COMPARING PRICES: We have 
tried to make our prices correspond with 
the prices of other reliable growers, and 
I think you will find us lower on many 
items than most others. However, it is a 
very difficult matter to get all price quo¬ 
tations to read exactly alike, as growers, 
often make high or low prices on par¬ 
ticular items, because of quantity avail-
