INFORMATION ABOUT ORDERING 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
PRICES in this catalogue cancel all previous quotations. Those 
who placed orders while in our gardens this summer may notice 
some changes in prices of a few varieties which yielded better 
than we anticipated. To those we will send extra bulbs in 
adjustment. We always, however, send some extra count de¬ 
pending on the size of your order. No single bulb for less than 
1 Oc. At the dozen rate not less than 6 of a variety. 3 each of 
any variety at rates given in list. All orders accepted subject to 
prior sale. California customers will please add 3% to the 
amount of their order for Sales Tax. 
CHARGES PREPAID. All retail orders amounting to $1.50 or 
more will be sent post or express charges prepaid. On orders of 
less than $1.50, please add 15c for packing and shipping costs. 
PLACING ORDERS: Each season we receive many orders too 
late to fill, as we are sold out, and have to return the money 
sent. In order to avoid disappointment please order early and 
we will hold the bulbs until proper planting time. We acknowl¬ 
edge all orders received. If you desire you may make arrange¬ 
ments to pay at a later date than the placing of the order, 
satisfactory credit reference may be given or a deposit of 25% 
down and the balance C.O.D., but there is an extra fee on all 
C.O.D. shipments which you may like to save. 
GUARANTEE: We guarantee all bulbs sent out by us to be 
first class stock, just as represented. Of course, we cannot 
guarantee results of planting, culture, etc. But should varieties 
not prove true to name, (we are only human so that mistakes 
do sometimes occur even with all care given), we will gladly 
make replacement. If shipment does not arrive in good condi¬ 
tion, please notify us at once. 
SHIPPING DATES: Bulbs will be ready for shipping about 
December 1 , but where freezing weather prevails, shipments 
from December to March 1 5 go forward at the customer’s risk. 
Orders large enough to go by Express may be shipped anytime 
as they guarantee against freezing. However, we prefer to keep 
the bulbs in our special storeroom until proper planting time 
in your vicinity. 
SUBSTITUTION: We do not substitute unless given permission 
to do so.
