Jumbo Bulbs for Exhibitors 
Many enthusiastic exhibitors have a very decided preference for a 
Jumbo bulb, that is, a bulb that is larger than just a number one. They feel 
that the larger the bulb the better chance for a big spike exhibition if prop¬ 
erly handled. The large bulbs usually do not look quite so nice as the 
smaller sizes; however, we have Jumbo bulbs at this time in most of the 
medium priced show varieties and will send them at no extra charge over 
large bulbs IF THE CUSTOMER WILL PAY THE CARRYING CHARGES. 
Should there be small sizes in the same order, we will add extra count on 
these ordered varieties or put in some extra varieties to offset their propor¬ 
tion of the shipping charges. 
Bulblets 
While we guarantee to satisfy our customers if it is possible, it 
must be understood that WE DO NOT GUARANTEE BULBLETS TO GROW. 
The bulblets of some varieties are hard to germinate and they need good 
care to get the best results. Bulblets are cheaper than bulbs because they 
are not so sure to grow. It is a cheap way to get a start especially in the new 
introductions but we want our customers to be sure they understand clearly 
that they must not expect us to replace them if they do not germinate. Of 
course, a big percent will grow anyway but if they are valuable ones and 
are cracked before planting and then kept well watered, the percent that 
grow will be much increased. 
Collections 
We have decided this year not to offer any collections of various 
varieties either bulblets or bulbs. The only collections are the unlabeled ones 
and these are wonderful value for they are made up of varieties where we 
have our larger stocks and, therefore, can give far greater value than if 
they were of certain varieties and then also the cost of putting them up is 
much less as they do not have to be labeled. 
The reasons for giving up the collections are that one can order from 
the regular list exactly what they want and not get even one variety they 
now grow and you will get just as much for your money when you figure the 
discounts and consider the overcount and extras that are added to each 
order as was formerly the case when collections were offered. 
Terms 
Several Customers Lost Cash sent in the mails unregistered last year, 
so be sure to register any letters containing cash. Customers sending cash 
do so at their own risk of loss. The day an order is received we mail to you 
a card or letter of acknowledgment; if this does not arrive promptly please 
let us know, we may be able to trace it then but if we do not know about it 
for a couple of months it is hopeless. 
It is our custom to add Extras to each order; the amount and varieties 
vary with the size of the order; as some customers already have a wide
