Prices listed in this catalog per 100 and per 1,000 are f.o.b, here,-~ 
customer pays transportation charges. We will ship by express or par- 
cel-post, whichever is the cheapest. 
However, if you wish your order shipped prepaid, I have listed be- 
low the transportation charges per 100 bulbs of the various sizes. The 
zoning of charges will be of advantage to our western customers, while 
eastern and southern customers will find by refering to other catalogs 
that our charges are much lower than those asked by most other growers. 
The following are the transportation charges per 100 bulbs:

BULB SIZES. Gladiolus bulbs are graded in six sizes, number 
one being the largest and number six the smallest. The first three sizes 
_ will give the best results in cut flower growing, sizes four and five will 
all bloom the first year but with smaller spikes. Number six size will © 
make many small blooms the first year but is mainly used to grow large 
bulbs for the following season. 
For out-door cut-flower growing, I especially recommend our num- 
ber two and three sizes. Our very long growing season gives us a solid, 
well ripened. bulb. 
I GUARANTEE SATISFACTION on all retail orders. If, when 
you receive your order, or at blooming time, you have any cause for 
complaint please write me about it and I will do my best to adjust to 
oat satisfaction. However, I do not guarantee germination of bulb- 
ets. 
_ EXTRAS. It is the practice of most growers to give extra bulbs 
with all fair sized orders. I always give soma overcount or some variety 
that I think will be new to your collection. This is one of the many 
practices common to the bulb business that will likely be declared illegal 
if, and when, the FTC checks up on us—but until then I will try and 
play Santa Claus. However, don’t expect to receive $40.00 worth of 
extras on a $10.00 order, as I have known to actually happen. And please 
don’t write me for the name of the grower, as he is now out of the 
business—naturally.
