PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
Do not*change collections or special sets. The collections are made up as they are for definite 
reasons and we cannot change them. Any of these collections or specials are very good value. 
Do not split quantities as listed. Where a variety is listed at 2 for 15 cents or 4 for 15 cents 
do not order 1 or 2 at a lower price. There is no profit in any items of less than ten cents and 
very little at that price. No single item accepted for less than ten cents. 
EXTRAS ON CASH ORDERS. On cash orders of $2.00 to $5.00 you can select 10% 
extra in bulbs of your own choosing. From $5.00 to $25.00 select 15%; $25.00 to $50.00 select 
20% and above $50.00 select 25%. These Discounts do not Apply to Collections, Special 
Offers or Wholesale prices or New Introductions. See next page. 
TO MAKE OUT YOUR ORDER put everything down on the order blank, just as listed in 
the price list. Add it up, then figure out any special discounts or add on the extra bulbs of your 
choosing. It is all very simple but some people seem to have a lot of trouble in making out an 
order. 
The above discounts and extras are all for cash orders. The earlier the orders are received 
and the larger they are the more generous we will be with our extras. If you cannot spare all 
the cash now send 25% and the balance later and we will see that you are satisfied. But the 
above extras are only for cash before shipment. 
On cash orders of $12.00 or more, except collections, I will give a copy of the “Gladiolus 
Book" by Rockwell if you ask for it and if you have not already had one. 
Packages of bulblets run from twenty-five to fifty or more. We give very good value. 
You can have 3 bulbs at the 10 rate; 25 at the 100 rate. But no single items for less than 10 
cents. 
Please do not send us orders of under $1.00 as we lose money on them. I do usually 
fill such orders from regular customers as an accommodation but they cost us more 
than we get for them. 
I GUARANTEE SATISFACTION, and I mean just that. If at any time, either after 
receiving the bulbs or after blooming, you have cause for complaint just write me about it and 
I will do my utmost to make things right. This is the only basis on which anyone can hope to 
conduct a business that will be permanently successful. 
At these prices all bulbs, except the wholesale offers, are prepaid anywhere in the United 
States and Canada and all countries in the Postal Union. 
SPECIAL QUOTATIONS. Do not ask for special quotations unless you have a large 
order. We will not consider quoting any special prices on small orders. I publish this price list to 
give people the prices and do not consider it honest to give one person a lower price than another. 
REMEMBER in buying bulbs price is not everything. In fact sometimes the price is a minor 
item. Consider the quality, count, the reliability of the grower, etc. I always mean to put in 
enough extra count or over size to make up for any lower price that other good reliable growers 
might make. Just leave it to me. 
IF YOU WANT TO PAY TRANSPORTATION and get extra count on your order 
just mention it and I will send your order collect for postage or express and will see that you are 
more than satisfied. Just mention whether you want extra count on your order or extras in other 
kinds and what kinds. If you want bulbs sent by mail it is better to let us send them C.O.D. for 
the postage, then we know the postage is correct and I will give you more than enough bulbs 
to make it up. People who send stamps or cash for the postage seldom send enough. 
ON FAIR SIZED ORDERS, EXPRESS is safest and best especially in the winter time; 
I advise express if you are situated so as to get free delivery by the express company. 
EXTRAS. It is the practice of most growers to give extras on orders. I always put in some 
myself. So it would help me if you will mention whether you want extras of the same varieties 
that you order or in other kinds. And if you have a preference it will help me still more if you 
can name the varieties in which you want your extras and if you want large, medium or small 
bulbs or bulblets. Just give us a list of varieties from which to select your extras. We will put in 
what we think the order rates. 
Please give me a list from which to select your extras. Extras are given for orders from the 
retail list—not from the wholesale tho I usually put in something new to try anyway.
