A FEW DON'TS. 
DON'T think that in ordering a few bulbs you will compasss a wide range 
of varieties, for we have over fifteen thousand. We do claim, however, that even 
in small quantities, you will secure a larger variety of high quality, than in any 
other stock offered at the same, and higher prices. 
DON'T, whether you buy our stock or that of others, pick out the largest 
bulbs from a collection or mixture, and imagine you have the best quality, for by 
so doing, you may eliminate from your purchase, varieties of high quality 
which never produce large bulbs. 
DON'T, if you have been led into paying high prices for medium and 
poor quality under high sounding names, fail to give our stock a trial order. 
Compare quality and prices, and select from the stock and secure at small 
cost, if you wish, a collection of greater value than is possible under the 
naming system. 
All stock herein offered, is subject to prior sale, and orders received are 
not binding until accepted in writing. 
In filling orders, no substitutions will be made unless so instructed. Stock 
for greenhouse forcing can be shipped in the Autumn after the bulbs are 
thoroughly cured. 
Special discount to seedsmen, or to those ordering in lots of five thousand 
or more. 
Our fields, which will be more extensive and beautiful this year than 
ever before, are near the railroad station and during the blooming season 
(July to October) I shall consider it a pleasure to receive and show visitors 
through them. 
Parties contemplating a visit should advise me a day or two in advance. 
ORDER EARLY* 
Every season, orders reach us tco late to be properly executed, on account 
of the required early planting of some very late flowering varieties.
