on a ‘‘transportation prepaid”’ basis. 
Foreign orders. We ship to every part of the world. Postage is prepaid if 
no greater than to our 8th zone. Best to remit a little extra. 
Errors. We make a few, not many, but we cheerfully correct them, or ex- 
plain a misunderstanding. Notify us at once. Courtesy pays. 
Guarantee. Our bulbs are true to name and healthy. We do not however 
accept any responsibility for their performance since we cannot control the 
conditions of their growth. If, in your opinion, our bulbs are not up to our 
specifications, please notify us at once when you receive them. 
Culture directions are not sent with bulbs as all necessary information is 
given in this catalog. 
Exchanging. We will buy or exchange for desirable bulbs, especially rare 
ones,

request it. Prices are 5c, up. 
The Catalogs are sent to all customers and to those who request to be on 
our mailing list. But if no orders are received for two successive years the 
name is dropped. 
Correspondence. We enjoy the many friendly letters received from cus- 
tomers and are helped by many reports on the hardiness of certain bulbs, notes 
on culture experience, etc. Unfortunately it is impossible to give the personal 
answers we would like. Our personal letter to you is on page 2 of this catalog. 
Complete culture directions are in this catalog. Please do not ask for personal 
advice if avoidable. When really necessary we will help all we can.
