We accept no responsibility if you do not insure. 
Special Handling costs 15c. If you send 15c extra, and insurance, your parcel post 
shipment will receive the same treatment as first class mail. It will arrive more promptly 
and safely. All valuable shipments should be protected by Insurance and Special 
Handling, total 18c for $5.00 and 23c up to $25.00 values. 
Express is safer for large and valuable shipments, especially in cold weather in 
north. It is more expensive than mail and we ship that way, only f.o.b. La Verne. 
We will add extra value to equal postage. 
Prices given are usually for one bulb. A dozen costs 10 times the price of one. 
6 are sold at doz. rate. Unless otherwise stated, 100 cost 7 times the cost of one or 
7 times the cost of one doz. 50 are sold for the price of 4 doz., not at 100 rate. 
Wholesale. We will quote to dealers on their want list. At present, we are unable 
to dig enough bulbs to publish a wholesale list or to give any discounts from this list 
to anyone. | 
Foreign orders. Our prices include prepaid delivery only as far as our 8th postal 
zone. We can usually prepay to Mexico or Canada. It is best to include some extra 
on export orders. If too much, we add extra bulbs. The 100 rate prices do not apply 
on export orders unless customer pays transportation. 
Canadian Customers. The $5.00 limit on importations has been removed. Apply 
to Sec. of Destructive Insect and Pest Act, Advisory Board, Ottawa, Ont. (or ask your 
P. M.) for Permit and mailing label and send these with your order. 
Errors. We make them but correct them, if notified at once. 
Partial Shipments. If everything is not included in first shipment a slip so stating 
is enclosed. When final shipment is made, another slip so states. Check them with 
order and if short, notify us at once. 
Guarantee. Our bulbs are true to name and healthy, but we do not guarantee 
results since we do not control the conditions under which they are grown. If, in your 
opinion, our bulbs are not up to our specifications, notify us at once. If you are not 
then satisfied with our explanation, they may be returned. No refund will be made if 
planted unless circumstances indicate bulbs were at fault. 
Culture directions are in this catalog, hence none are sent with bulbs. 
Catalogs. Spring Catalog, Jan. 15. Fall Catalog, Aug. 15. Names are dropped 
from our mailing list if you do not buy for two years. If not interested, please ask 
P. M. to return this at our expense, thus saving paper and labor. 
Correspondence. We enjoy your friendly letters. I answer them twice a year in 
our Introductory Letter. It is a fact that I work longer hours and for less pay than the 
coal miners and am still unable to answer all letters requiring it. Two assistants help 
but we never catch up. Some letters accuse me of not liking to write. I do, but I have 
over 30,000 pen pals. Read entire catalog before asking questions. 
Identifying Bulbs. We usually can. Send flower, foliage and if possible, a bulb. 
Give all facts known. Enclose self addressed post card and attach your letter to outside 
of package. We do not attempt to identify horticultural varieties of Gladiolus, Iris, etc. 
Time of Delivery. All bulbs are delivered within range of correct planting dates. 
GENERAL CULTURE DIRECTIONS 
Rich sandy loam is the best soil. Only a few, like Bearded Iris, prefer heavy soil. 
A very few, like Gloriosas, must have sandy soil.
