LICENSED NURSERY. 
This list contains prepaid prices and short reliable description of the 
varieties now in stock. We have a large quantity of some varieties, while others 
are limited. If you compare our prices with other bulb and seed catalogs, you 
will find our prices low enough to move this stock rapidly. SO ORDER EARLY to 
be sure of obtaining the varieties you desire. Large illustrated catalogs and 
advertisements in popular magazines are expensive. One can readily see that our 
overhead expenses are much lower, and we can therefore sell our stock at much 
lower prices. Vie grow many glads not listed here. If you do not find in this 
list what you want, we may have it\or we can obtain it for you at a reasonable 
price. 
True to Name; Healthy young Bulbs; Naphthalene Treated. 
INSPECTED AND LICENSED FOR SALE BY THE NORTH DAKOTA 
STATE NURSERY INSPECTOR. 
Trade sizes of bulbs are: No. 1 - l-J inch or more; No, 2 - 1-J- inch or more; 
No. 3 - 1 inch or more; No. 4 - inch or more; No, 5 - ^ inch or more; No. 6 - 
i to ^ inch. Standard trade practice is to list as follows: Nos. 1 and 2 are 
large bulbs; 3 and 4 are medium, and 5 and 6 are small. Our bulbs are graded 
accordingly, except that we do not ship any No, 6 with the small size. If you 
wish No, 6 bulbs, you should pay only what they are worth. We can quote prices 
on No. 6 of many varieties if you wish them. The largest bulbs of the grade 
ordered, which we have on hand, are shipped. 
Large bulbs are generally planted for exhibition spike growing, ^dium are 
usually bought by the commercial cut-flower growers, and with most varieties will 
give very nearly, if not as good a spike as the large size; and are at a very 
considerable saving. Small bulbs (No. 5) of most kinds give fair bloom and 
make fine bulbs for next year, and yield the most bulblets. 
Days-to-bloom stated are approximate and for comparison only. 70 days is a 
very early glad, and over 105 days is late for this region.
