NOTICE 
This past fall my sales have been very much larger than ever before. The fact is there is a tre- 
mendous demand for bulbs and probably not one-quarter enough bulbs in the country to supply, the 
demand. | have had to turn down orders for many thousands of dollars worth especially of the com- 
mercial varieties. Due to this condition and the extreme scarcity of labor | have been obliged to 
readjust my prices. My old customers will notice that | have had to raise my minimum single items to 
20 cents and 25 cents in most cases and my minimum order to $2.00. Doing this | have had to raise 
the prices of many of the cheaper varieties and have had to raise a few at wholesale. Also have 
raised the prices of my No. 1 and 2 collections. With large bulbs selling at $3.50 to $4.00 per 
hundred and over, at wholesale | could no longer continue to sell my No. 1 collection at $3.00 per 
hundred prepaid. Hope my old customers will understand how things are. But it is really just in 
line with everything else, a scarcity of goods and big demand which always raises prices. 
About the size of minimum items and minimum orders | doubt if | shall ever go back to the old 
price as there never was any profit in handling 10 cent and 15 cent items. Perhaps | can't handle 
these orders as cheaply as some but we have at least six operations for each single item on an order 
and at the price of labor now these can't very well be handled for less than 20 cents or 25 cents. 
As you will see | have had to discontinue my Grower's Collection which has been so popular 
for a number of years. But | am so short of some of the most popular varieties in these collections 
and with other kinds liable to run out soon and the co!lection being priced much too low in my 
fall list anyway | simply had to discontinue it. 
There are many varieties very popular for the garden but which because of their color are not so 
good for the commercial cut flower trade. These are smokies, dark colors and also many of the pinks 
and lighter shades. As there is such a great demand for cut flowers at high prices the blooms are 
worth a lot more than the bulbs so this coming year | shall have to grow more of the really good cut 
flower sorts and either discontinue entirely or cut down on the kinds which are not so good for the 
florists. So another season you will probably see some of your favorites discontinued or else because 
of the small quantity | shall have they will be sold out early in the season. In view of the above | 
would suggest that you order all you can this year so as not to be disappointed another season if 
you aren't able to get the kinds you want
