WHEN AND HOW TO ORDER BULBS 
The best time to order your bulbs is just as soon as this catalog reaches you. The bulbs may not have arrived by 
then, but your order will be given immediate attention, and filled just as soon as the stock arrives. At the first of the 
season there are no sorts sold out, and besides the bulbs flower better when planted early. 
Six bulbs of any one variety will be supplied at the rate for 12; 50 at the 100 rate; and 250 of a variety at the 
1,000 rate. Prices are subject to change without notice. 
We prepay transportation charges within the U. S. A. on orders for bulbs amounting to $1.00 or more; on orders 
for less than $1.00 a packing and handling charge of 25c is to be included. 
HOW TO HANDLE BULBS WHEN THROUGH BLOOMING 
Spring flowering bulbs may be left in the ground after blooming provided they are in an isolated place where 
they can remain dry throughout the summer, but in most gardens the space is too limited to warrant this as com 
tinuation of bloom is desired. If this is the case, it is advisable to lift the bulbs carefully after they are through 
blooming, preferably a few weeks later, and transplant them closely together in any convenient corner of the garden. 
Give them one good watering and let them remain until the foliage has died down completely, at which time the 
bulbs will be fully ripened and can be dug and stored away in shallow trays in a cool, airy place until the proper 
time to set them out again. Never cut off the foliage when green as this will weaken the bulbs and often prevent them 
from blooming. If bulbs are left in the ground after the blooming season, where other plants are growing they may 
rot or fail to bloom the following season as they will not have the proper rest. 
NomWarranty—Most of the failures with seeds and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as 
unfavorable weather, too deep or too shallow planting, slugs, etc.; therefore, Hallawell Seed Co. gives no warranty, 
express or implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, plants, bulbs, etc., 
they send out, and will be in no way responsible for the crop.
