TERMS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Read the following carefully. It will avoid delay or misunderstanding. 
Sales Tax. California customers must add 24 % 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 do not ship C. O. D. 
Postage prepaid on orders of $1.00 or over. Under $1.00 add 10c extra. 
Insurance. Customers are urged to insure every.order. Orders are sometimes lost. 
We have had orders go astray in a distance of 30 miles. We have never lost one insured 
package. Costs little. Send 3c extra for values to $5.00; 10c for $5.00 to $25.00. Insure 
your order and it will receive more careful attention in transit. We accept no responsibility 
for safety of uninsured packages. 
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 add extra value, either more bulbs or larger ones, 
on express shipments and also use more insulation. Express cars are heated but mail 
cars are not. On small packages one can avoid heavier express charges by adding about 
15% for extra heavy insulation. 
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. Lack of labor has prevented us from digging enough of our bulbs to 
supply many at wholesale or to give discounts to dealers. We were therefore unable to 
publish a Wholesale Bulletin for two years. Our quantity, prepaid prices are lower than 
many published wholesale prices. 
Garden Club Bulletin is ‘out,’ for the same reason. Garden Clubs should take 
advantage of our 100 rates. 
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 orders for bulbs 
at the 100 rate to be shipped abroad, 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. 
Canadian Orders. Canadian customers may now import bulbs from us. You must 
send us a “Permit To Import.” Ask your Post Master for instructions about how to 
obtain this. 
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 after planting since we cannot control the 
conditions of their growth. If, in your opinion, our bulbs are not up to our specifications, 
please notify us at once when you receive them. But do not return them until we 
explain. Customers some times err in judgment and one returned dwarf Baby Callas
