TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
Except when otherwise stated, we offer gladiolus bulbs in large size only; 1% inches 
or more in diameter. This is the best blooming size, and we recommend this size 
for immediate results. Other sizes, designated Medium indicate bulbs H-mch to 
V/i inches; Small, indicates bulbs to ^-inch in diameter. Small bulbs seldom 
give much more than a very short spike but produce large bulbs for the following 
season. 
Bulblets seldom bloom the first year, and are not guaranteed to grow, as a large 
percentage of these "baby” bulbs always fail to germinate. 
We pay delivery charges on all bulbs listed in this catalog. Full remittance 
should accompany all orders. Currency sent by unregistered mail is entirely at 
sender s risk. However, local orders (Richmond city only) will be accepted for 
C.O.D. delivery without deposit. Dial 3-0789. 
Orders aggregating less than $1.00, or for items of any variety less than the mini¬ 
mum number of bulbs shown by our list, will not be accepted and remittance, if 
any, will be returned. 
Our low prices do not permit any further discounts for quantity orders. Our stock 
is band dug and band cleaned. Our bulbs are warranted true to name and disease- 
free, and we are in position to furnish top-size two-year-old bulbs equal in quality 
to any bulbs you can buy. If you are not satisfied, return them at our expense and 
your money will be refunded without question. 
All stock is offered and orders accepted subject to prior sale. We have consider¬ 
able stock of most varieties offered but due to large advance orders already booked, 
we would suggest that you order early to avoid disappointment. We do not substitute 
without your permission but would suggest that you name one or two second choices 
or authorize us to send double the quantity of medium size bulbs if sold out of 
large bulbs of varieties ordered. Medium bulbs usually produce almost as fine spikes 
as large bulbs but seldom more than one spike per bulb, whereas large bulbs fre¬ 
quently give two. 
Our variety descriptions are a frank statement of their performance in our gar¬ 
den but we give no warranty, expressed or implied, of their performance under con¬ 
ditions over which we have no control. 
Shipment will not be made until all danger of freezing in transit is over, about 
April 1. This is sufficiently early for planting in this section. Shipment to southern 
points will be made earlier if requested. 
Bulbs come out of dirt and have other troubles to contend with. Do not expect 
all of them to look spotlessly clean. Frequently they develop bruise marks from 
non-moving contact with storage trays or show occasional bruises from removal of 
old bulbs and roots in cleaning. Again some varieties become discolored in drying 
in storage or are stained from husks if the season is wet at digging time as was the 
case last season. Such injuries affect only the appearance of the bulb and not its 
ability to perform. 
Our bulbs are all hand-cleaned and inspected and are generally free from deface¬ 
ment from any cause.
