WHEN AND HOW TO ORDER BULBS 
The best time to order your bulbs is just as soon as this catalog reaches you. The bulbs may 
not have arrived by then, but your order will be given immediate attention, and filled just as soon 
as the stock arrives. At the first of the season there are no sorts sold out, and besides the bulbs 
flower better when planted early. 
Unless otherwise specified, 6 bulbs of any one variety will be supplied at the rate for 12; 
50 at the 100 rate, and 250 of a variety at the rate for 1000. 
We prepay charges within the 4th zone on all bulbs listed in this catalog. 
HOW TO HANDLE BULBS WHEN THROUGH BLOOMING 
Spring flowering bulbs may be left in the ground after blooming provided they are in an 
isolated place where they can remain dry throughout the summer, but in most gardens the space 
is too limited to warrant this as continuation of bloom is desired. If this is the case, it is advisable 
to lift the bulbs carefully after they are through blooming, preferably a few weeks later, and 
transplant them closely together in any convenient comer of the garden. Give them one good 
watering and let them remain until the foliage has died down completely, at which time the bulbs 
will be fully ripened and can be dug and stored away in shallow trays in a cool, airy place until 
the proper time to set them out again. Never cut off the foliage when green as this will weaken 
the bulbs and often prevent them from blooming. If bulbs are left in the ground after the bloom¬ 
ing season, where other plants are growing, they may rot or fail to bloom the following season 
as they will not have the proper rest. 
Non-Warranty —Most of the failures with seeds and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond 
our control, such as unfavorable weather, too deep or too shallow planting, slugs, etc.; therefore, 
Hallawell Seed Co. gives no warranty, express or implied, as to description, purity, productive¬ 
ness, or any other matter of any seeds, plants, bulbs, etc., they send out, and will be in no way 
responsible for the crop.
