THE BEST WAY TO SHIP BULBS 
We regard Express as the most desirable method for bulb shipments, in 
particular in the very cold months, the Express Co., insures against frost damage, 
but there is no such coverage by parcel post. 
Here is an approximate comparison of costs, to ship 14 lbs. from Hamburg, N. Y. 
to Albany, N. Y. a distance of approximately 300 miles, by Parcel Post it will cost 
.85¢c and your insurance will be an extra charge to be added, and such insurance 
will not cover loss by freezing. The express cost of shipping 14 lbs to Albany, N. Y. 
is .84c and your insurance fee is already included in this one charge, and it covers 
damage or loss by freezing. All bulbs quoted fob. Hamburg, N. Y. when ordered by 
parcel post go at customers own risk, however we assume the risk on prepaid ship- 
ments, because we offer to deliver in good condition. 
BULBS WEIGH PACKED: Approximately as below. 100 No. 1,-8 lbs. 100 No. 
2,-5 lbs.; 100 No. 3,-3 lbs.; 100 No. 4,-1% lbs.; 100 No. 5,-% 1b.; 100 No. 6, one-fourth 
pound, per one hundred bulbs. Bulblets about two pounds per quart, with an aver- 
age of perhaps 5000 to the qt, some only have three to four thousand and others six 
to ten thousand or more, but I estimate the average about 5000 bulblets per quart. 
HARDY MIXED PHLOX 
Perhaps a dozen or more of the leading named varieties in good assortment, 
strong divisions, at $6.00 per 100 with 25 or more at the 100 rate, not prepaid, but 
sent express charges collect. ;
