For’37 Spring Gardens 
Saddest Words 
The saddest words in the gardener's 
vocabulary: “Oh! that I had planted 
those Tulip, Daffodil and Hyacinth bulbs 
last fall.” Remember, if you are to have 
a beautiful spring garden, the bulbs must 
be planted in the fall. We begin our 
planting about October 1 and continue 
thru November. Tulips and Daffodils 
planted December 1 will not be too late 
for good bloom, but earlier planting is 
better. 
Read This Before Ordering 
A study of overhead costs shows 
prices of services and goods are advanc¬ 
ing. This reveals the fact that we are 
losing money on very small orders, C. O. 
D.’s and shipments that are prepaid to 
long distances. 
We are doing our best to give our 
customers the best of bulbs, plants and 
service at the lowest possible cost. Please 
help us in this effort by observing the 
following new rules: 
On all orders for $1 or less, add 25c 
for sales tax, postage and packing. 
All orders to go C. O. D. must be 
accompanied by an advance payment of 
50c. 
We pay transportation to fifth zone. 
Roughly, the country lying north and 
west of Grand Forks, Denver and Los 
Angeles. Customers east or south of this 
line, please add ten per cent for extra 
transportation costs. 
Remit by money order, draft or 
check. If currency and stamps are sent, 
they travel at customer’s risk. Sometimes 
such remittances are lost in the mails. 
The U. S. postoffice department re¬ 
fuses to pay for damages caused to in¬ 
sured parcel post shipments by frost. 
Because of this failure upon the part of 
the government to make good on insured 
parcels, all shipments of bulbs and plants 
made during the winter months will be 
by express, or by parcel post at con¬ 
signee's risk and expense. 
If you prefer to have your order 
come transportation charges collect, tell 
us and we will put in more than enough 
stock to pay such charges. Lots of times 
we can send a much larger plant on 
charges collect orders than on those that 
are prepaid. 
Free Extras 
As all our customers know we are 
quite generous in the matter of extra 
bulbs or plants. But here is an extra extra 
for cash in advance orders. On orders of 
$3.00 you may select 10 per cent extra 
stock. On $5.00 orders 12 per cent. On 
$10.00 orders 15 per cent. On $25 orders 
20 per cent. On $50.00 orders 25 per cent. 
Hyacinth Phimosis 
The feathered Hyacinth blooming in 
early June. Lacy plumes of a beautiful 
deep lavender about ten inches high. 
Lasts a long time and glistens like it 
was made of ice. 2 for 25c; 12 for $1.10. 
Spanish Iris 
If you have never grown this your 
June garden is missing one of the bright¬ 
est spots. Bulbs should be planted in 
October preferably in groups so that 
when the deep blue flowers open they will 
give a mass effect. Each petal carries a 
band of yellow and the color combination 
is most pleasing. 12 for 60c; 100 for $2.25.
