The Health Education Society, 530 S. Alexandria, Los Angeles, publishes a book, 
“The Invisible Friends of the Body,” by Dr. James Empringham, which I wish you 
could all read. Price, paper bound, 50c. Cloth bound, $1.00. 
If you live in the south be sure to have a winter garden of the vegetables that can 
be grown in winter such as peas, turnips, parsnips, carrots, onions, etc., as well as many 
flowers. Raise part of your meat (if you are not restricted) such as rabbits, chickens, 
goats (for milk, cream, butter and meat) or ducks. Remember, food will win the 
war and it is also necessary to win the peace. Food will be rationed long after the 
war ends. 
May you have success with the Victory garden, the window garden this winter 
and the spring flowering bulbs. 
Yours for Victory, soon 
Cecil Houdyshel 

TERMS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Read the following carefully. It will avoid delay or misunderstanding. 
Sales Tax. California customers must add 2% 9% for state sales tax. 
Order Early. Late planting is less favorable but better than not at all. 
Remit with order by check or M. O. Currency or coins are acceptable but we are 
not responsible if lost. Stamps reluctantly accepted at 8% discount. Please do not ask 
for credit. 
C.O.D. We will not ship C.O.D. The fees have recently been doubled. Now 
a $1.00 order will cost the customer $1.34 when delivered C.O.D. Besides extra work 
for us. 
Postage prepaid on orders of $1.00 or over. Under $1.00 add 10c extra for 
handling. 
Insurance, 10c extra for orders up to $5.00. 20c for orders $5.00 to $25.00. Under 
present conditions, parcel post is not as safe as formerly and we can guarantee delivery 
only on insured parcels. Therefore we advise you to insure. 
Express is much safer and is advised for large or valuable shipments especially in 
very cold weather in north. But it is usually a little more expensive and we ship by 
express only at your expense. We will add extra bulbs on express shipments. 
Prices given are for one bulb unless otherwise stated. A dozen costs ten times the 
price of one. Six bulbs are sold at the dozen rate. If not otherwise priced, 100 bulbs 
are sold for the price of 7 doz., or 70 times the cost of one. Not less than 100 are sold 
at 100 rate. 50 are sold for the price of 4 doz. 
Wholesale. Dealers send for our Wholesale Bulletin. Use your business stationery 
or otherwise identify yourself as a bonafide dealer. 
Foreign Orders. Postage is prepaid if no greater than to our 8th zone. Best to 
remit a little extra. If too much we send extra bulbs. We cannot accept foreign orders 
for bulbs at the 100 rate to be shipped postpaid. We have several times filled orders 
from Mexico and other foreign countries, for Gladiolus bulbs at the 100 rate, only to 
find the postage required was almost equal to the price received. 
Errors. Our packers make a few, not many. We want to correct them. Notify 
us at once in case of shortage or error. Unpack your order as soon as received. Don’t 
wait two weeks then tell us the bulbs were mouldy. 
Partial Shipments. If all bulbs ordered are not included in the first package 
received, a colored slip informing you will be enclosed. Do not discard this with 
packing material. Pay attention and avoid correspondence for both of us. 
Substitution. If out of a variety, we usually substitute one as near like it as possible, 
as good or better and of equal or greater value. If you do not approve this, say, “no 
substitution.” | 
Guarantee. Our bulbs are true to name, and healthy. We do not, however, accept 
any responsibility for their performance since we cannot control the conditions of their 
growth. If, in your opinion, our bulbs are not up to our specifications, please notify
