PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
All quotations are subject to previous sale. We urge that you place your orders 
early so that you may not be disappointed. Each year we are unable to fill late 
orders of a number of varieties. Orders are segregated as soon as possible after being 
received but will not be shipped until after danger of freezing is past, unless you 
request otherwise. However, bulbs can be sent any time desired. No substitutions 
will be made without your permission. If we are out of a variety you order, your 
money will be refunded unless you give us permission to make a substitution in size 
or variety. Cultural directions will be included with all orders. 
All orders from the retail list will be prepaid to points in the United States. 
Prices as indicated in the quantity list are not prepaid, but are F. 0. B. New 
Cumberland, Pennsylvania. If you wish to order part from the retail list and part 
from the quantity list, we will send the order transportation collect and include 
extras or overcount to make up for the transportation on the retail items. A discount 
of 5Co will be allowed on cash orders of $2.00 to $5.00. On cash orders of over $5.00, 
a discount of 10% will be allowed. These discounts do not apply to mixtures nor to 
orders from the quantity price list. We also include worthwhile extras with retail 
orders. The value of the extras will be in proportion to the sizes of the order. 
Suggest varieties desired as extras. If we have sufficient stock, we will be glad to 
comply with your request. 
Where a variety is listed at 2 for 10 cents or 2 for 12 cents, please do not order 
a smaller number at a lower price. Five bulbs will be sold at one-half the price of 
ten, but no single item will be accepted for less than 10 cents. Where no 10 price is 
indicated, it may be found by multiplying the price of a single bulb by 8. Twenty-five 
bulbs of the same size and variety will be sold at 2 times the price of 10. One hundred 
of the same size and variety will be sold at 8 times the price of 10. 
Where bulblets are sold by the packet, 25 to 50 or more will be included in each 
packet. We will give good value. 
Do not ask for special quotations unless you have a large order. Our prices are 
very low for the high quality bulbs offered. However, we are glad to furnish special 
quotations to jobbers, growers, and others purchasing in large quantities. 
All bulbs listed as large size are 114 inches and up, mostly 114 inches and up, 
in diameter. Medium size bulbs are % to 114 inches in diameter. Small bulbs are 
% to % inches in diameter. For the finest blooms, large bulbs are best. Medium size 
bulbs of most varieties will give nice cut flowers, but the spikes are not as long as 
from large bulbs. Although small bulbs of many varieties will bloom, others will 
not. The blooms from small bulbs will be noticeably smaller in size. Bulblets seldom 
bloom and are often difficult or impossible to germinate. We do not recommend them 
except to experienced growers.
