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. 
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. 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 values $5.00 to $25.00. Insure your order 
and it will receive more careful attention. We accept no responsibility for 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 bulbs on express shipments, equal to 
postage. 
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 are therefore unable to 
publish a Wholesale Bulletin. Our quantity, prepaid prices are lower than some 
published wholesale prices. We will quote on a want list. 
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. Canadian Customers. The $5.00 
limit on bulb importations has now been removed. Apply to the Sec. of Destructive 
Insect and Pest Act Advisory Board, Ottawa, Ont., for Permit and mailing label and 
send these with your order. 
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, 
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. If they are then unsatisfactory, you may return them. 
Culture Directions are not sent with bulbs as all necessary information is given in 
this catalog. 
Catalogs. Spring Catalog is mailed Jan. 15. Fall Catalog Aug. 15. If no orders 
are received for two years, names are dropped from our mailing lists. If you are no 
longer interested, ask your postmaster to return this catalog at our expense. 
Correspondence. We enjoy and appreciate the friendly letters we receive. We 
answer these twice a year in our Introductory Letter. I regret that I am unable to write 
individually to each. On some days in the busy season our first class mail will go over 
250 pieces. At this time we must use our too small office force for packing bulbs. 
We receive many requests for information about growing bulbs. This catalog is
