BUSINESS TERMS 
(Please Read Carefully Before Ordering) 
We do not substitute unless instructed to do so. A second choice or next size preferred is 
advisable if your order is sent in late in the season. 
No orders for less than $2.00 will be accepted. 
When a variety is listed at 2 for 10 cents or 2 for 15 cents, please do not order a 
smaller number at a lower price. Five bulbs will be sold at one-half the price of ten, but no 
single item will be accepted for less than 10 cents. Where no 10 price is indicated, it may be 
found by multiplying the price of a single bulb by 8. Twenty-five bulbs of the same size and 
variety will be sold at 2 times the price of ten. One hundred of the same size and variety will 
be sold at 8 times the price of ten. 
All retail orders prepaid to all points in the United States. 
On cash orders of $5.00 or more you can select 10% extra in bulbs of your own choosing. 
This does not apply to collections, special offers, wholesale orders or 1946 introductions. 
COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE 1946 LEADERS 
Of the recent introductions, Leading Lady and Connecticut Yankee are the two stand-out 
glads. Summer Girl from Dr. Graff is a deep salmon that you will hear a lot of. Pioneer from 
LaSalle was the top glad from the East for 1945. Cover Girl is a huge pink. Lady Boo and 
Intruder from Dr. Graff will have to be reckoned with at the Shows. Lavender Prince is a nice 
lavender that cuts good spikes. Miss Wisconsin, best of the Rose shades; Mercury, Red Fox and 
Red Eagle are all good reds. Revlon tops in any one’s garden. Mt. Index, one of my favorites 
for beauty, is also a very good grower. Of the older ones — King Bee, King William, Jeanie, 
Flagship, Magnolia, Marsellaise, Legend, Tahlahneka and Red Charm are all tops. There are 
more that belong in this selection, but these are the ones that we made notes on; a lot were 
missed in the rush of the cut flower season.
