FLYING CLOUD FARMS 
Shipment 
Orders can usually be shipped all winter except to the most northern states and coldest 
sections of Canada. Of course we like to ship as soon after the order is received as weather 
permits; it lightens our work in the spring rush but if not convenient for you we will gladly 
store and ship when you wish. Oftentimes we can catch a mild spell when it is perfectly 
safe to ship by parcel post short distances and stock going south. We ship by either parcel* 
post or express, whichever we think best and cheapest, so if your express office is different 
from your mail address be sure to state it on the order. Fairly heavy orders are usually cheaper 
by express. We guarantee safe delivery of every shipment. Any orders over $10.00 we will 
be glad to ship by express at any time the customer desires although we prefer to hold them 
a day or two if extremely low temperatures are forecast. Please state on the order the ap¬ 
proximate date you prefer to receive the shipment and if we may make shipment earlier if the 
weather permits. If you order the more expensive bulblets and desire them earlier than 
March 15 we will find some way to get them to you safely. 
All orders should be at hand before June 1 although large bulbs of many medium priced 
varieties will be available until about July 1. However, if you order late please give us some 
varieties for second choice or, if we are out of some varieties, permit us to send more of those 
available to make up the value. All orders are put up and put aside when received regardless 
of the shipping date. 
Graded Lots 
Discounts do not apply on these Graded Lots. 
The “Graded Lots” have been very popular and we will make them up from any variety 
in the catalogue. We will put up 50c lots of any variety that does not list for over 25c for a 
single large bulb and $1.00 lots of any variety that does not list for over 50c for a single 
large bulb. I realize that there may be some cases where the stocks will be so reduced we 
cannot supply all varieties in Graded Lots throughout the season and I do hope you will be 
good enough to send few second choices in case any you select are not available. We plan 
where these Graded Lots are ordered, to put any extras we may be giving into additional bulbs 
in the ordered lots rather than add bulbs of other varieties so that is where you will find your 
extras unless specially requested to do otherwise. Of course if the order is not all Graded 
Lots the usual extras will be included. The customers that have had these lots know the 
value they received; to others we will just say that they will be much in excess of the catalogue 
prices and contain a good assortment of sizes. If you wish part in bulblets please mention it 
as otherwise they will be made up entirely of bulbs. On the 50c lots you can order five for 
$2.25; ten for $4.00; or fifteen for $5.75. On the $1.00 lots you can order five for $4 60; 
ten for $8.50; or fifteen for $12.00. 
Collections 
We have decided this year not to offer any collections of various varieties, either bulblets 
or bulbs. The only collections are the unlabeled ones and these are wonderful value for they 
are made up of varieties where we have our larger stocks and, therefore, can give far greater 
value than if they were of certain varieties and then also the cost of putting them up is much 
less as they do not have to be labeled. 
The reasons for giving up the collections are that one can order from the regular list 
exactly what they want and not get even one variety they now grow and you will get just 
as much for your money when you figure the discounts and consider the overcount and extras 
that are added to each order, as was formerly the case when collections were offered. 
Substitution 
In no case will any variety be substituted for the variety ordered except with your per¬ 
mission. However, as many of the varieties listed are in small supply, I would appreciate the 
privilege of substituting larger or smaller bulbs of the same variety when necessary.
