1938 PRICE LIST 
In a^ain presenting our list of Distinctive Glads for your consideration we wish to thank you for the increased 
orders which caused our modest business to double its volume last year. We regard it as a compliment that much of 
the business was from customers of former years and that many of the nevj buyers had learned of us through friends 
who had grown bulbs purchased from us. We have also been pleased with the numerous letters of appreciation received 
from satisfied customers. 
As usual our list includes only varieties w'hich we have tried thoroughly and which we believe to be of outstanding 
merit. A few old friends have been discontinued and have been replaced by varieties which we believe to be of a quality 
to warrant their being included on our list. We try to keep our list selective rather than all inclusive. 
All stock is guaranteed to be healthy, vigorous, free from thrips and true to name. You must be satisfied. The 
prices are very low for the high quality bulbs which we are offering. All quotations are subject to previous sale. We 
urge that you place your orders early so that you may not be disappointed. Last year we were unable to fill late 
orders of a number of varieties. At the low prices quoted no discounts are offered. However, we do include worthwhile 
extras. The value of the extras will be in proportion to the size of the orders. Suggest varieties desired as extras. If we 
have sufficient stock, we shall be glad to comply with your request.

you order your money will be refunded unless you desire a substitution of size or variety. 
Where a variety is listed at 2 for 10c or 2 for 12c please do not order a smaller number at a lower price. Five or 
more bulbs of the sam.e variety will be sold at the 10 rate but no single item will be accepted for less than 10c. Twenty- 
five bulbs of the same variety will be sold at twice the price of ten. Where a 100 rate is also indicated 50 bulbs of the 
same size and variety will be sold at the 100 rate. 
All bulbs listed as large size are 114 inches and up, mostly IVz inches and up, in diameter. Medium size bulbs are 
% to 114 inches in diameter. Small bulbs are 14 to % inchos in diameter. For the finest blooms large bulbs are best. 
Lledium size bulbs of most varieties will 'give nice cut flowers but the spikes are not as long as from large bulbs. Although 
small bulbs of many varieties will bloom, others will not. The blooms from small bulbs will be noticeably smaller in 
size. Bulblets seldom bloom and are often difficult or impossible to germinate. We do not recommend them except to 
experienced growers.
