Please Read Carefully 
If you do not read the following instructions 
you cannot make out an order intelligently 
TO MAKE OUT YOUR ORDER put everything down on the order blank, just as listed in 
the price list. Add it up, then figure out any special discounts or add on the extra bulbs of your 
choosing. It is all very simple but some people seem to have a lot of trouble in making out an order. 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ORDERS. We write up every order and send an invoice as 
soon as possible after receiving the order. If you don’t receive an acknowledgement within a few 
days or in the spring within ten days or so drop us a line. This invoice is the only invoice we send 
out except a copy which goes with the order. Keep these invoices for future reference. 
EXTRAS ON CASH ORDERS. On cash orders of $3.00 to $5.00 you can select 10% extra 
in bulbs of your own choosing. From $5.00 to $25.00 select 15%, $25.00 to $50.00 and ‘up 
select 20%. These Discounts do not apply to Collections, Special Offers or Wholesale Prices or 
New Introductions, or those marked ‘No Discount.” 
VARIETIES MARKED "NO DISCOUNT" CAN NOT BE USED AS EXTRAS. ALSO 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS OF THIS YEAR. 
Discounts apply to gladiolus only and not to other articles listed. 
The above discounts and extras are all for cash orders. The earlier the orders are received 
and the larger they are the more generous we will be with our extras. If you cannot spare all the 
cash now send 25% and the balance later and we will see that you are satisfied. But the above 
extras are only for cash before shipment. 
On cash orders of $12.00 or more, for bulbs, | will give a copy of the “Gladiolus Book’’ by 
Rockwell if you ask for it and if you have not already had one. Or for $1.00 extra will send you the 
per bebe book by McLean which sells for $2.00. This is much more up to date than the Rock- 
well book. | 
Packages of bulblets run from fifty to seventy-five or more. We give very good value. 
You can have 3 or more bulbs at the 10 rate, 25 at the 100 rate. But no single items for less 
than twenty-five cents except as listed. 
Please do not send us orders of under $2.00 as we lose money on them. | do usually fill such 
orders from regular customers as an accommodation but they cost us more than we get for them. On 
retail orders of under $2.00 please enclose 15 cents for postage and handling. 
Do not split quantities as listed. Where a variety is listed at 2 for 25 cents or 4 for 25 cents do 
not order 1 or 2 at a lower price. There is no profit in any items of less than twenty cents and very 
He at that price. No single item accepted for less than twenty-five cents except as noted in price 
ist, 
CERTAIN VARIETIES because of their being new introductions of this year or because | 
am simply listing them for another grower or for some other reason | have marked ‘‘no discount.” 
We do not give any discount whatever on introductions of the current year and there are no dis- 
counts on patented varieties and a few others. These are marked in the price list. 
The varieties marked ‘'no discount” cannot be used as extras as either they are very limited in 
quantity or | am listing them for other growers at a nominal commission. 
| 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, 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. Wholesale orders go collect always.
