CASH DISCOUNTS 
Cash discounts are applicable only to orders accompanied by cash in full. 
Upon orders of $5.00 up—10% but if received before Feb. 15th—20% 
Upon orders of $20.00 up—15% but if received before Feb. 15th—25% 
Orders of $25.00 up will receive free a $2.00 society membership, choice of Canadian Gladio¬ 
lus Society or New England Gladiolus Society—see page. 
Heretofore, we have granted extra bulbs approximating the above cash discounts. However, 
we shall still continue, to some extent, to supply extras by overcount, oversizing or by varieties 
other than those ordered. (See space on order sheet to designate your wishes.) The reason 
for the February 15th time limit on the extra discount is this: For some years our orders have 
come piling in to a peak around the middle of the bulb delivery season, utterly swamping us 
and in some instances causing regrettable delay even on rush orders. Early orders permit a 
better spread of the delivery and office work. We must alter this situation, even if it costs us 
substantial money. 
If your inquiry for catalog comes too late to get the special before—-Feb. 15th discount, 
please do not ask for it as the reason for its existence has terminated. We send catalogs 2 
years to inquirers, longer to customers of course, so you can be in plenty time another year. 
These discounts do not apply to Wholesale Quotations or to current, 1939 Introductions, 
which are priced (as is common in the gladiolus industry) Net, or to Gladiolus Seed. They 
do apply to current Releases, however. 
Our dozen and one-half dozen lot pricing (10 and 5 times each rate, respectively) is not 
applicable to current Introductions, except to commercial growers and catalogers, to whom 
this allowance constitutes a 16-2/3% discount.

All I can say is accept my heartfelt thanks.” 4-21~37.

several varieties not ordered is good as it gives the grower 
a chance to try them out and keeps his interest in the 
newer sorts very much alive.” 4-9-37. E. G. L., Worth¬ 
ington, Pa.
