stamps, but if inconvenient to remit another way we accept stamps if at least 
6£ extra on each $1 is sent. Our mail is heavy and extra help is required to 
handle it. My purchases of stamps at this office helps it obtain higher rating 
and more clerks. 
C. O. D. Orders involve 'miuch extra labor to send. Also at least 25c extra 
expense on smallest orders for the customer, which the Post Office gets. Frankly, 
some customers never accept them. So we will only fill C. 0, D. orders when 
one fourth the amount accompanies the order. Cash preferred. 
Wholesale. We sell wholesale to dealers only. If in California, send your Re¬ 
tail Sales pemit number. Establish the fact that you are a dealer, when asking 
for our Wholesale Price List. We grow large stocks of Pink Callas, Clivias- and 1 
most items listed. 
Foreign Orders. We ship bulbs to all parts of the world. We pack carefully 
(in peat if advisable) for long distance shipments. We prepay postage when only 
a little more than that to our 8th Zone. But very heavy bulbs, especially when 
sold at 100 rate will require a little extra for postage. It is better to include 
it and if too much we will send extra bulbs. 
Catalogs. The fall catalog is issued about Aug. 15. Spring catalog about 
Jan. 15. Iris price list about May. Sent only to those who request it. Available 
now. 
Our Mailing List is made up of customers. The catalogs go regularly to 
those who buy. If 1 , there is no sale for twro successive years we will understand 
you are no longer interested and drop your name unless you write and request 
that we do not. It is an unnecessary expense to send catalogs to those not in¬ 
terested. It is a favor when anyone who does not intend to buy will let us know. 
Simply hand the catalog to your Postmaster and ask him to return it at our 
expense. 
Please print your name and address or write very plainly. Wle get many we 
cannot read. 
Your Friends who love flowers would like to know about us. We will ap¬ 
preciate it if you tell them to request a catalog. 
Exchanging. We are always glad to exchange for desirable bulbs. 
Substitution. We have sufficient stocks of all bulbs listed, we think. Late 
orders may find a very few varieties sold out, but it will take an unusual demand 
to do that. In such a case we will substitute the yariety nearest to the one or¬ 
dered or something else very good, and usually of more value. If you do not ap¬ 
prove. please state “no substitution.” Late orders should name substitutes. 
Writing Letters. We have letters daily asking questions fully answered in 
our catalogs. Before inquiring by letter, search the catalog thruout. Our culture 
directions are carefully written to cover all essentials. But we gladly help when 
necessary.
