Terms and Instructions for Ordering 
Read the following carefully. It will avoid delay or misunderstanding. 
Sales Tax. California customers add 3% for state sales tax. 
Order Early. Late planting results in less satisfaction with most bulbs. 
Remit with order, by check or M. O. Currency or coins are acceptable 
but not always safe way. Stamps reluctantly accepted in small amounts but 
customer must add 6% to amount remitted. This is a small office. They 
handle much mail for me. My stamp purchases help this office. 
C. O. D. Orders involve more labor for us, more risk. More expense to you. 
Our prices are based on ‘‘cash with order.’’ If possible, please avoid ordering

Prices given are for one bulb unless otherwise stated. A dozen costs 
ten times the price of one. Six bulbs are sold at the dozen rate. The 100

sold at the 100 rate. For 50 bulbs apply the price of 4 dozen. 
Wholesale. Dealers send for our Wholesale Bulletin. Use your business 
stationery or otherwise identify yourself as a bonafide dealer. 
Garden Clubs, who pool their orders for collective buying in quantity, 
send for our Garden Club Bulletin. We give you wholesale prices and discounts 
on a ‘‘transportation prepaid’ basis. 
Foreign orders. We ship to every part of the world. We pack expertly 
and our bulbs will arrive by mail in perfect condition. Postage is prepaid if 
no greater than to our 8th zone. Best to remit a little extra. If too much, we 
send extra bulbs. 
Errors. We make a few, not many, but we cheerfully correct them, or 
explain a misunderstanding. Notify us at once. Courtesy pays. 
Guarantee. Our bulbs are true to name and healthy. We do not how- 
ever 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 exchange for or buy good bulbs that we can use. 
We want rare ones especially. Customers domestic or foreign, are invited to 
tell us about unusual or rare bulbs.

15. An Iris Price List is available in April. Iris list is sent only to those who 
request it. 
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.
