IMPORTANT WAR-TIME MESSAGE 
As we go to press none of the material listed in this 
catalog has yet arrived. Much of it is due to arrive soon. 
Orders were placed with only the finest and best growers 
in the country, each a specialist in his own field, and we 
have been warned by nearly all of them not to expect full 
delivery of what we have ordered. Quality bulbs will be 
searce this year. 
Instead of issuing both a Fall and a Spring catalog we 
are compelled to incorporate the two issues in this one 
catalog, and we suggest that you make up your complete 
order now for your season’s needs. Due to the limited 
supply of many items, early orders will be given priority 
over late ones. Last season’s Wusiness was curtailed over 
50% on many bulbs on account of short crops, labor, etc. 
Bulbs will be shipped on their arrival and in plenty of time 
for their proper planting. 
Please do not ask us to ship C.O.D. It requires too much 
time at the post office, and is an additional expense to 
you. Money will be refunded if we cannot fill your order. 
Do not fail to give your zone number if your city is so 
divided. 
The wise gardener will ORDER NOW and probably save 
disappointment later on. 
A letter we are proud to publish, for it comes from 
authoritative critics—the distributors of the famous ‘“‘Teco- 
lote”’’ strain of flower bulbs.

Dear Bob: 
Mr. Royston just showed me your check for $1,017.25, 
paying up your account in full to November Ist, and I cer- 
tainly want to compliment you on the fine success you are 
making at your new location. . 
Your success there is especially encouraging to me, be- 
cause I have always contended that if you handle the best 
stock you can buy, at a reasonable price continually, you 
would build up a very satisfactory and profitable business, 
and since I Know you have followed this sort of practice 
yourself, I am glad to know that it works that way and 
that you really are successful. 
Very truly yours,
