Terms 
Customers often lose cash sent in the mails unregistered so be sure to register any letters 
containing cash. Customers sending cash not registered do so at their own risk of loss. The 
day an order is received we mail you a card or letter of acknowledgment; if this does not ar¬ 
rive promptly please let us know; we may be able to trace it then but if we do not know 
about it for a couple of months it is hopeless. 
It is our custom to add extras to each order; the amount and varieties vary with the size 
of the order. As some customers already have a wide selection of varieties they prefer the 
extras in overcount of the ordered varieties or have some varieties that they might like to try 
and while, of course, we can not always send all the varieties that are mentioned, it will help 
us to have a list to select from so we may send something you really want. Just put on the 
order what you would prefer to have us do; increase the count, take it from your list or select 
it ourselves. 
If a customer is willing to pay the transportation charges on an order we will see that 
there are bulbs of a value much larger than the shipping cost added to the order to offset 
these charges. Here again just give us an idea of what you would like and we will do our best. 
No order accepted for less than $1.00 which must be accompanied by cash in full and 
no single item for less than ten cents. On orders of $5.00 and up we will accept 25% 
(twenty-five percent) with the order, balance before shipment. We will prepay all orders 
to any point in the United States or Canada except orders from the wholesale list and Jumbo 
bulbs as noted above and guarantee safe delivery on all shipments. Orders from foreign cus¬ 
tomers, except Canada and Mexico, must be accompanied by money order or draft and ship¬ 
ping charges. 
Extras on cash orders from the RETAIL list of $2.00 to $5.00 you can select 10% extra 
in stock to be varieties of your choice; from $5.00 to $25.00 select 1 5% extra in stock; from 
$25.00 to $50.00 select 20% extra in stock and over $50.00 select 25% extra in stock. 
These discounts do not apply to our new introductions, the graded lots, or collections. These 
extras to be selected from the retail list. Where bulbs, NOT BULBLETS, are priced each, ten 
bulbs of a variety will be sold at eight times the single price; five bulbs or more at the ten 
rate. Large bulbs will be 1/4" up, medium will be Y" up, small will be Y" up. As long as 
available the larger bulbs of each grade will be used. 
I shall personally see that full value is given to every customer. If you are not pleased 
with the stock when received, or if after you have grown it you are not satisfied with the 
results, please let me know and I will make every effort possible to please you. All stock is 
guaranteed true to name and free from disease. 
Bulblets 
While we guarantee to satisfy our customers if it is possible, it must be understood that 
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE BULBLETS TO GROW. The bulblets of some varieties are hard 
to germinate and they need good care to get the best results. Bulblets are cheaper than bulbs 
because they are not so sure to grow. It is a cheap way to get a start, especially in the new 
introductions, but we want our customers to be sure they understand clearly that they must 
not expect us to replace them if they do not germinate. Of course a big percent will grow 
anyway but if they are valuable ones and are cracked before planting and then kept well 
watered the percent that grow will be much increased. While we will always select the largest 
bulblets available of the ordered variety, you must remembr that some varieties never make 
large bulblets; others always make bulblets long and narrow, from the shape of a kernel of 
wheat to that of an oat. 
Wheeling, West Virginia—“1 especially liked Black Opal. It did fine last year and very ex¬ 
cellent this year—wish I had a thousand of it. Surfside and Buffette were as fine as 
could be and want to get more of these later also."
