Please Read Carefully 
Please do not ask us to change collections or special sets. The collections are made up as they 
are for definite reasons and we cannot change them. Any of these collections or specials are very 
good value. | 
Do not split quantities as listed. Where a variety is listed at 2 for 15 cents or 4 for 15 cents do 
not order 1 or 2 at a lower price. There is no profit in any items of less than ten cents and very little 
at that price. No single item accepted for less than ten cents. 
EXTRAS ON CASH ORDERS. On cash orders of $2.00 to $5.00 you can select 10% extra 
in bulbs of your own choosing. From $5.00 to $25.00 select 15%; $25.00 to $50.00 select 20% 
and above $50.00 select 25%. These Discounts do not Apply to Collections, Special Offers or 
Wholesale prices or New Introductions, or those marked ‘‘No Discount.” 
VARIETIES MARKED ‘NO DISCOUNT" CAN NOT BE USED AS EXTRAS. 
Discounts apply to gladiolus only and not to other articles listed. 
TO MAKE OUT YOUR ORDER put everything down on the order blank, just as listed in 
the price list. Add it up, then figure out any special discounts or add on the extra bulbs of your 
choosing. It is all very simple but some people seem to have a lot of trouble in making out an order. 
The above discounts and extras are all for cash orders. The earlier the orders are received 
and the larger they are the more generous we will be with our extras. If you cannot spare all the 
cash now send 25% and the balance later and we will see that you are satisfied. But the above 
extras are only for cash before shipment. — 
On cash orders of $12.00 or more, for bulbs, | will give a copy of the “Gladiolus Book’ by 
Rockwell if you ask for it and if you have not already had one. Or for $1.00 extra will send you the 
To A bect hr book by McLean which sells for $2.00. This is much more up to date than the 
ockwell book. 
Packages of bulblets run from twenty-five to fifty or more. We give very good value. 
You can have 3 or more bulbs at the 10 rate; 25 at the 100 rate. But no single items for less 
than 10 cents. 
Please do not send us orders of under $1.00 as we lose money on them. | do usually fill such 
orders from regular customers as an accommodation but they cost us more than we get for them. On 
retail orders of under $1. please enclose 10 cents for postage. 
| GUARANTEE SATISFACTION, and | mean just that. If at any time, either after receiving 
the bulbs or after blooming, you have cause for complaint just write me about it and | will do my 
utmost to make things right. This is the only basis on which anyone can-hope to conduct a business 
that will be permanently successful. 
At these prices all bulbs, except the wholesale offers and growers’ collections, are prepaid 
anywhere in the United States. 
SPECIAL QUOTATIONS. Do not ask for special quotations unless you have a large order. 
We will not consider quoting any special prices on small orders. | publish this price list to give 
people the prices and do not consider it honest to give one person a lower price than another. 
REMEMBER in buying bulbs price is not everything. In fact sometimes the price is a minor item. 
Consider the quality, count, the reliability of the grower, etc. | always mean to put in enough extra 
count or over size to make up for any lower price that other good reliable growers might make. 
Just leave it fo me. 
IF YOU WANT TO PAY TRANSPORTATION and get extra count on your order just 
mention it and | will send your order collect for postage or express and will see that you are more 
than satisfied. Just mention whether you want extra count on your order or extras in other kinds and 
what kinds. IF you want wholesale orders sent by mail it is better to let us send them C.O.D. for the 
postage, then we know the postage is correct and | will give you more than enough bulbs to make 
up an ealerencs if you send too much. People who send stamps or cash for the postage seldom send 
enough. 
On wholesale orders do not ask us to prepay the carrying charges and take out enough bulbs 
to offset the express or parcel-post. This disrupts the whole office routine and makes us a lot of extra 
work. On wholesale orders which are not prepaid let us send them C.O.D. for the postage or 
express collect. 
ON FAIR SIZED ORDERS, EXPRESS is safest and best especially in the winter time; 
| advise express if you are situated so as to get free delivery by the express company. Parcel Post 
does not insure against damage by freezing. Express Does.
