what to order and will state the colors preferred, collections will be made 
up for you of blooming size bulbs for say $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, or whatever 
amount you wish to spend. These bulbs will be labeled—not mixed (unless 
so specified), and personal care will be given to their selection. 
It sometimes happens that we are out of the size you order, but have 
other sizes in the same variety. Please state if you wish another size sub¬ 
stituted.
