About Warranty. 
H. A. Hyde Co. gives 
no warranty, express 
or implied, as to de¬ 
scription, quality, or 
productiveness or any 
other matter of bulbs, 
plants or seeds it sends 
out and will not be in 
any way responsible 
for the crop. 
Provided any mer¬ 
chandise we send out 
should prove untrue to 
name or unsatisfactory 
upon receipt of goods, 
complaint should be made im¬ 
mediately, and we shall gladly 
replace or refund any money 
paid for such merchandise. 
Prices. Bulbs are sent postpaid to points 
as far east as the Rocky Mountains. For 
greater distances, add 10 per cent. Orders 
from California points, add 3 per cent State 
Sales Tax. 
Six bulbs sold at the dozen rate; 50 bulbs at the 100 rate 
Quantity discounts on orders as follows: 
Orders for 500 to 1,000 bulbs— 5% discount 
Orders for 1,000 to 1,500 bulbs—10% discount 
Orders for 1,500 bulbs or more—15% discount 
However, orders for mixtures and special collections 
cannot be included in computing these quantity discounts, 
and we can give no special quantity reductions for mixtures 
because of their low quotations. 
Varieties. It is impossible to list all available sorts. 
Write for prices on others with which you may be familiar. 
Many of the varieties are novelties and limited in supply. 
Early orders will insure delivery. Substitutions will be 
made if we are sold out of the variety ordered, unless you 
specify “no substitutions.” 
Flowering Periods, Throughout the Catalog, figures 
show the relative flowering periods under normal condi¬ 
tions; the earliest designated as “1.” 
We recommend 
this type as best

purposes

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
The chart below shows the desirable depths and spacing 
under average conditions for the familiar garden bulbs. 
This is a safe planting-guide for the average amateur but 
should be varied according to special soil or temperature 
or where actual experience has convinced the planter 
otherwise. 
As an example, for California conditions, particularly in 
warmer climatic sections, we recommend planting much 
deeper. Where ideal soil and drainage prevail, our ex¬ 
perience has taught us that Tulips will produce the finest 
results if covered with 6 inches of soil. 
Many of our garden lilies require deeper planting than 
the 6 inches specified here. We state the recommended 
depths in our lily listing. 
Do not plant too early in California. For general condi¬ 
tions, we recommend the planting of Tulips, Narcissi, 
and most other fall bulbs during October, November, and 
early December. Where the stock has been properly 
stored in a cool, dry place, we find they succeed very well 
planted even as late as early January. This is not generally 
recommended, however. 
BULBS 
Quality. California 
garden conditions pre¬ 
sent a true test for 
Spring-flowering Bulbs. 
The top sizes and finest 
quality are necessary 
for maximum results. 
Extra quality is se¬ 
lected for our Califor¬ 
nia trade which as¬ 
sures you of the best 
wherever you are.
