EASTER 1942 IS APRIL Sth 
We are sorry to have had to delay the issuing of this catalog—but this is a most unusual year. 
No Lilies from Japan, and at this writing, no likelihood of any. As as result, the demand for all 
other bulbs is unusual—and on many the supply is short. However, we are still able to take 
orders for stock as offered herein—but advise prompt ordering to avoid disappointment. May 
we suggest permitting us, if necessary, to substitute nearest similar variety or size, although of 
course, we will not do so without permision. 
All stock offered herein is of the highest quality, and from careful and experienced growers. 
We hope we may continue to receive and deserve your patronage, as we have in increasing 
volume for the past forty-five years. 
All bills are subject to 2 per cent discount 
within 10 days from invoice date. Sixty days 
net. Sight draft, plus interest, thereafter. 
Shipments are forwarded by best carrier, 
in our judgment at time of delivery, unless 
otherwise specified by customer. 
First-class stock is carefully packed when 
shipment is made, and we hold good order 
receipt from the transportation company. Our 
responsibility ceases thereafter. If the stock 
reaches you in bad condition, notify agent 
and bring claim against the delivery com- 
pany for damage caused by their negligence,
