| 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 or Canada. 
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 to 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. People who send stamps or cash for the postage sel- 
dom 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. 
~ €.0.D. ORDERS—Please do not ask us to send an order C.O.D. without your making a de- 
posit on it. IF it is a small order we shall have to ask for a deposit of at least a dollar. Larger C.O.D. 
orders should be accompanied by 25% of the value. We cannot send out any more C.O.D. orders 
without at least some deposit. 
EXTRAS. It is the practice of most growers to give extras on orders. | always put in some 
myself. So it will help me if you will mention whether you want extras of the same varieties that 
you order or in other kinds. And if you have a preference it will help me still more if you can name 
the varieties in which you want your extras and if you want large, medium or small bulbs or bulblets. 
Just give us a list of varieties from which to select your extras. We will put in what we think the 
order rates. 
PLEASE give me a list from which to select your extras. Extras are given for orders from the 
retail list—not from the wholesale though | usually put in something new to try anyw zy. 
PREMIUM BULBS. | usually give a bulb of some new introduction free with a $15.00 cash 
order and also a $30.00 order or more. This year these are to be orders only from my retail list 
and not from the wholesale. At present | am not sure just what varieties | shall use as premium 
bulbs but shall have something nice, probably Lantana for a $15.00 order.

“| won first prize on MERMAID in open competition. | cut MERMAID the Monday before 
the show. It had just a faint coloring. | put it in my fruit cellar where it was cold and dark. | changed 
water twice daily. Friday morning | put it in a vase upstairs and by Saturday noon at show time 
it had eight open. | think it will be a coming commercial.’ Connie Holzmon, Wisc.
