OLDS’ GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all bulbs sent out to be of largest size, 
true to name and to arrive in satisfactory condition. If 
upon arrival our bulbs are not equal or superior to any 
bulbs you could have purchased, or you are not entirely 
satisfied, they may be returned to us and your money 
will be promptly refunded. Bulbs and seeds are planted 
under varying conditions of soil and climate and we will 
not be responsible for them after they are planted. Nor 
do we give any further warranty, express or implied, as 
to description,. quality, productiveness or any other mat- 
ter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out and will 
not be responsible for the crop. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Send in your order as early as possible on the enclosed 
order blank. It will be acknowledged at once and bulbs 
sent as soon as stocks are ready. Later in the season our 
stocks may become broken and it will probably be im- 
possible to replace them. Orders for plants will be sent 
about September 10th, weather permitting. No postage is 
required as prices include postage. Our terms are cash 
with the order or we will ship C. O. D., providing one- 
fourth of the amount accompanies the order. Field seeds 
or fertilizers, however, unless quoted postpaid, are sent 
express or freight collect. 
Plant Now for 
Gorgeous Spring 
Flowers 
Plant Olds’ bulbs and plants this fall. No garden 
or planting is complete without a plentiful supply 
of beautiful spring flowers. If you are going to 
have these gay spring flowers, the planting must be 
done this fall. Fall bulbs are easy to grow. All 
that is necessary is to give the bulb a fair chance 
to develop. The most important item to remember 
is that all bulbs have good drainage to survive. 
Please note our cultural directions printed on this 
page. To a large extent the beauty of your spring 
garden will depend much upon the quality and type 
of material that you plant. We have a reputation of 
supplying only the best bulbs obtainable and our list com- 
prises the best varieties for outdoor planting. 
While we think of fall as bulb-planting time, it is also 
the time to plant Peonies, Iris, Lilies, Phlox, and other 
perennials. Our large assortment of plants are all field 
grown two to three years old. Ideal for permanent beds 
and borders. Like the bulbs, when once established they 
will produce an abundance of flowers for years to come. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Plant only the finest quality bulbs. Olds’ bulbs are the 
best that can possibly be secured. They have a reputation 
for large flowers and uniformity of size and color. Most 
bulbs should be planted in the open ground as early in 
the fall as possible, as this gives them time to make suit- 
able root growth before freezing weather. They can be 
planted right up to the time the ground freezes, but with 
late plantings be sure that a very heavy application of 
mulch is placed over the beds. All bulbs should be planted 
to the depth shown in the diagram. Set the bulbs firmly, 
taking care not to leave an air space at the base of the 
bulb where water will settle and cause the bulb to rot. 
CHOOSE A WELL-DRAINED LOCATION. This is most 
important. If you do not have a suitable place raise the 
bed about six inches for good drainage. Cover the bed 
after the ground freezes with some form of mulch.
