SHIPMENT 
Orders can usually be shipped all winter except to the most northern and western states. 
We like to ship as soon after the order is received as weather permits. This season, with the 
continued shortage of labor, it may be two weeks after we recieve your order before we can fill 
and ship it. There will be no “immediate” or ‘‘at once’’ shipments of orders this season. However, 
we will gladly store and ship when you wish. We ship by either parcel post or express, whichever 
we think best and cheapest or safest at the time shipment is desired, so if your express office is 
different from your mail address be sure to state it on the order. Fairly heavy orders are usually 
cheaper by express. We guarantee safe delivery of every shipment. 
BULBLETS 
While we guarantee to satisfy our customers, it is not possible for us to guarantee the germina- 
tion of bulblets. The bulblets of some varieties are hard to germinate and they need good care 
to get the best results. Bulblets are cheaper than bulbs because they are not so sure to grow. 
It is a cheap way to get a start, especially in the new introductions, but we want our customers 
to be sure they understand clearly that they must not expect us to replace them if they do not 
germinate. Of course a big per cent usually will grow anyway but if they are valuable ones, 
and are cracked before planting, and then kept well watered, the per cent that will grow will be 
much increased. We will always select the largest bulblets available of the ordered variety.
