are not responsible if lost, Stamps reluctantly accepted at 8% discount. 
C. O. D. Please do not order C. O. D.

Wholesale. Dealers send for our Wholesale Bulletin. Use your business sta- 
tionery or otherwise identify yourself as a bonafide dealer. 
Garden Clubs, who pool their orders for collective buying in quantity, send 
for our Garden Club Bulletin. We give you wholesale prices and discounts on a 
“Transportation prepaid” basis. This Garden Club Bulletin is available only to 
the official Purchasing Agent of actually organized Garden Clubs but not to in- 
dividuals, even though Garden Club members. 
Foreign Orders. Postage is prepaid if no greater than tc our 8th zone. Best 
to remit a little extra. If too much we send extra bulbs. 
Errors. Our packers make a few not many. We want to correct them. Noti- 
fy 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 cen. 
ditions of their growth. If, in your opinion, our bulbs are not up to our specifi- 
cations, please notify us at once when you receive them. But do not return them 
until we explain, unless you are sure they are damaged or faulty, Customers some 
times err in judgement and one returned dwarf Baby Callas because they were 
small. Another returned Ranunculus because they were too dry and dead looking. 
For safe delivery , include insurance at slight expense. a. 
Culture directions are not sent with bulbs as all necessary information is giv- 
en in this catalog. 
Catalogs. Spring Catalog is mailed Jan. 15. Fall Catalog Aug. 15. If no or- 
ders are received for two years, names are dropped from our mailing lists. If 
you are no longer interested in bulbs, permanently or temporarily, please ask 
your postmaster to return this catalog at our expense. 
Correspondence. Labor is difficult to obtain both for field work and office and 
hes doubled in cost. In order to get office help we have had to teach typing, filing, 
packing, etc. to inexperienced girls and they are doing well. I must write letters 
by long hand as copy to type. I am sort of Secretary-Bookkeeper-Advertising 
Manager,-Field Foreman-Laborer and everybody kicks me around. Not much time 
to write letters and we need the office force to put up orders. Holidays have been 
moved, clocks made to tell the Sun he’s a slo-poke but what we need is a little 
boon-doogling of the hours in the day. Twenty-four is not enough. ite 
If information is needed, seek for it first in the catalog. Nearly always, it is 
there. Order only from the current catalog. If the bulb is not listed we do not 
have it for sale. I like to help with your problems but make it easy and give full 
particulars. Enclose self addressed post-card or if a longer reply is necessary, 
make out a list on which I can write yes or no, and send a self addressed stamped
