Wholesale. We sell wholesale to dealers only. If in California send your 
Retail Sales permit No. Establish the fact you are a dealer. Dealers, please 
send a list of wants and we will quote. We have no wholesale catalog* or list, 
though we grow large stocks of Pink Callas, Clivias and most items listed. 
We issue a Spring Catalog about Jan. 15, Fall Catalog about August 15, 
and Iris Price List about May. The last is sent only to those who request it 
yearly. The Spring and Fall Catalogs go to all customers. 
Every enthusiastic gardener is looking for information. Visit your public 
library and ask for books on bulbs, etc. Look up varieties in Hortus or Bailey’s 
Cyclopedia of Horticulture for culture methods, etc. I will advise that you sub¬ 
scribe for any or all of the following magazines.

YOUR FLOWER FRIENDS 
will appreciate learning about this catalog, and we will appreciate their orders. 
We need each other. We send catalogs only to those who request them. Tell 
them to drop us a card. 
Names are dropped if you do not buy bulbs for three years. If you do not 
intend to buy it is a much appreciated favor if you will return this catalog to 
your P. O. and ask it to be returned at our expense. We probably waste a few 
hundred dollars that we need, every year, in sending them to persons who are 
not interested. 
Print your name and address or write very carefully. We get many we 
cannot read. 
In case of error or misunderstanding about your order notify us at once. 
Prices. When the price of one bulb only is given the price of a dozen is 
ten times that and the price of 100 is 70 times the price of one. Half dozen is 
sold at dozen rate but not less than 100 at the 100 rate. The 1000 rate is 9 
times the 100 rate unless otherwise indicated. No less than 1000 at these rates. 
EXCHANGING 
We need Sternbergias and all rare bulbs. If you have a surplus or any 
rarity write us. For many bulbs we allow the wholesale price only, but full 
retail value for rarities. Make arrangements and state what you want in value 
before sending any bulbs. So many sent us bulbs recently that we fear we lost 
track of some. That is because those who send bulbs do not send a definite 
order at the same time. We can’t do a lot of corresponding about exchanges. 
If you do not get your bulbs write and explain fully. State exactly what to send. 
WRITING LETTERS 
Many write letters of inquiry that are fully answered in our catalog. Much 
to our regret it is impossible to write all the letters expected. We want to help 
as many as we can but try the catalog and other sources first. If they fail, then 
we want you to ask us. 
But we love to get your letters. Reading them does not take so much time 
and energy as writing them. We write to you all twice a year in our “Personal 
Letter—to you.” 
GENERAL CULTURE DIRECTIONS 
Many amateur gardeners are much concerned about the depth and the 
distance apart to plant bulbs. 
In the average case that depends on the size of bulb. Usually bulbs may be 
planted two or three times their diameter apart. Thus 2" bulbs are set 4" from 
edge to edge. Most bulbs iy 2 " in diameter or more may be planted 4" to 5" 
deep.
