HAMBURG, N. Y. 
TERMS OF SALE 
TERMS OF SALE: CASH with order, or 25% cash with order and the balance 
before shipment is made, or we will send the balance due, C. O. D. We prepay all 
retail or prepaid items listed, but only in the U. S. A. To foreign countries, postage 
must be added for all glads listed at less than 10c each for large bulbs. On higher 
priced bulbs we prepay. 
HOW TO SHIP: In very cold weather it is best to ship by express as the Express 
Company has coverage against loss by freezing, while Parcel Post will not insure 
against loss by freezing.* As a rule in more moderate weather we ship by Parcel 
Post. For that reason, it is a good plan to leave Parcel Post shipments wait until 
about March 1, when it is quite safe v to ship to most sections. 
DISCOUNTS: We do a cash before delivery business, and our discounts are 
figured in the items themselves, as you will likely find by making some comparisons. 
However, we do give EXTRA COUNT on orders, as many others do on Prepaid or 
Retail Orders. This will likely average around ten per cent. This is for glads listed 
under name in Prepaid List. There is no such extra count offered in collections. 
However, it is possible there will be some extra count and in some instances depend¬ 
ing on size of order and the list prices of varieties you may find we have added much 
more than 10% in extra count, size or value. Wholesale prices are not subject to 
this extra count as they are offered at lower net prices. However, there will be 
some overcount on all our glad listings. Where we cannot give this overcount equal 
on all varieties, we will add enough extra of some items to make up the extra 
value offered. 
Size No. 1 to 2 (Large). No. 3 to 4 (Medium). No. 5 to 6 (Small). 
BULB GRADES: Above we give the six (6) standard sizes of glad bulbs and at 
extreme right a bulblet is shown. LARGE BULBS are composed of the two larger 
sizes shown, or No. 1-2 assorted; MEDIUM BULBS are No. 3-4, and SMALL BULBS 
are the No. 5-6 size above. 
STZE OF BULBS WE OFFER AT RETAIL are Large bulbs 1%" and up; 
Medium bulbs are %" to l x A", and small bulbs are less than in diameter, they 
average around one-half inch, but even this size, while flowering much later than 
large bulbs, do produce an abundance of smaller spikes with very nice bloom that can 
be used for many decorative purposes and these small bulbs grow into the larger 
flowering bulbs to be used the next season. Large bulbs of any variety, flower first, 
and it takes medium bulbs of the same variety, perhaps 10 days longer to flower 
than the large bulbs. Both large and medium bulbs give fine blooms. I think we 
sell more medium than any other size for cut flower growing, and sometimes a 
spike from a No. 3 will be as good or better than from a No. 1, depending of course, 
on many factors. 
ERRORS: No doubt all places of business make some errors. If you discover 
we have made an error, please let us know about it and we will do all we can to 
make a proper adjustment. We do not have many complaints, but we know there 
may be instances where the customer just overlooks the matter. 
FREE NAPHTHALENE: On Prepaid Retail orders only and only when requested 
by customer. We will add to each order the “Flakes" required. Full information 
about handling is given in our Thrip article.
