Please Read Carefully 
If you do not read the following instructions 
you cannot make out an order intelligently 
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. 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ORDERS. We write up every order and send an invoice as 
soon as possible after receiving the order. If you don’t receive an acknowledgement within a few 
days or in the spring within ten days or so drop us a line. This invoice is the only invoice we send 
out except a copy which goes with the order. Keep these invoices for future reference. 
EXTRAS ON CASH ORDERS. On cash orders of $3.00 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 95%. 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. ALSO 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS OF THIS YEAR. © 
Discounts apply to gladiolus only and not to other articles listed. 
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 
new Gladiolus book by McLean which sells for $2.00. This is much more up to date than the Rock- 
well book. 
Packages of bulblets run from fifty to seventy-five 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 twenty-five cents. 
Please do not send us orders of under $2.00 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 $2.00 please enclose 15 cents for postage and handling. 
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 25 cents or 4 for 25 cents do 
not order 1 or 2 at a lower price. There is no profit in any items of less than twenty cents and very 
little at that price. No single item accepted for less than twenty-five cents except as noted in price 
list. 
CERTAIN VARIETIES because of their being new introductions of this year or because | 
am simply listing them for another grower or for some other reason | have marked ‘‘no discount.” 
We do not give any discount whatever on introductions of the current year and there are no dis- 
counts on patented varieties and a few others. These are marked in the price list. 
The varieties marked ‘tno discount’ cannot be used as extras as either they are very limited in 
quantity or | am listing them for other growers at a nominal commission. 

“Just a line to let you know that the bulbs | received from you this aie are blooming and 
| am overjoyed with them. Mrs. J. G. Ruse, Penna.
