‘ 
SPECIAL QUOTATIONS. Don’t ask us for special quotations on anything this year. There is 
going to be a tremendous demand for bulbs and a great shortage, especially of large sizes. The 
large commercial growers have picked up large quantities of bulbs for cut flower growing and this 
year it will be a case of getting the bulbs at any price. 
WHEN CORRESPONDING ABOUT A PREVIOUS ORDER, PLEASE GIVE ORDER 
NUMBER. IT SAVES US A LOT OF TIME. 
F.O.B. ITEMS. When an order contains both F.O.B. items and retail items unless you give 
instructions to the contrary we ship them all together in one package F.O.B. but put in extra count 
and enough extras to more than offset the carrying charges on the retail items. If the order is large 
and you want the two different classes shipped separate we can do that if you ask us to, but many 
orders contain both retail and wholesale items and it is usually simpler to send them all together. 
ORDER EARLY. Though we still have a lot of bulbs and a fine selection we are bound to get 
sold out of some kinds later, and these are always the kinds that people want. So to be sure of 
getting the varieties that you have been planning on getting, send in your orders as soon as possible. 
AIR MAIL. If living at a distance use air mail if you are in a hurry. We will get the order so 
much sooner and will often save days in time. Do not send letters by special delivery. We get 
regular mail quicker. 
RUSH ORDERS. We always do our best to get out rush orders as soon as possible but this 
year it is going to be more difficult because of labor shortage. So don’t get too impatient if you 
don’t receive your order quite so soon as you want it. We shall do our best to get out all orders 
right on tick. 
If you are unknown to us and want a rush order be sure to send a certified check or money 
order along with the order of bulbs. We got caught one too many times by a rush order accom- 
panied by a rubber check. 
CREDIT. Please don’t ask us for credit. Due to labor shortage and other causes we have had 
to discontinue all credit business except with a few old customers who have had credit with us 
for years. This year we have got to do business with the least amount of office work possible. 
CORRESPONDENCE. Though we want to help everyone we can with information about : 
growing glads we have to keep our correspondence down as low as possible, due to shortage of 
office help. We send out an instruction sheet which answers almost every question about growing 
glads and also we give information about varieties and other things in the catalogue yet every 
year we receive hundreds of letters asking questions that are already answered in either the 
catalogue or instruction sheet. Please help us to carry on in these difficult war times.

‘You may be interested to know that ALGONQUIN, MARGARET BEATON and KING 
MIDAS perform very well in the home garden and are exceedingly fine. The one bulb of WINSTON 
you sent in my spring order gave one of the most beautiful spikes | had out of some 35 or 40 varieties.’
