PLEASE READ THIS PAGE BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR ORDER 
Miss Clark built this business over a period of nearly two decades by selling 
only the finest quality of bulbs, carefully packing and sending them as soon as 
matured and selling at the lowest possible prices commensurate with quality 
and costs of production. The response of her customers as we took over last 
year has been most gratifying. We shall ever strive to deserve your continuing 
patronage. 
However, you, our customers, can help us render the best possible service 
by sending your orders EARLY. 
Shipping Dates 
Stocks of many bulbs are short. 
Orders are filed in rotation as received 
and shipped accordingly. Digging starts 
in August and continues into late 
November. Most orders are shipped in 
several lots as soon as dug. Prepare 
your ground before the bulbs arrive 
and get them in as soon as possible. 
We Pay the Postage 
On all orders of $5.00 or more within 
the U. S. we pay the postage unless 
otherwise stated. On orders sent out of 
this country please add 10% to cover 
postage and extra handling. For orders 
less than $5.00, kindly add 50c for 
postage and handling. 
Small Orders 
Due to the high cost of handling, 
please do not send orders for less than 
Remittances 
Your remittance and order will be 
acknowledged when received. Money 
orders, checks or bank drafts may be 
used. Avoid sending currency which is 
at your own risk. No C. O. D. ship- 
ments. Retail only. 
Guarantee 
We guarantee all bulbs and plants 
to be in first class condition when sent

lect or lack of experience on your part.

trol and we assume no responsibility.

During the packing season from mid-August until early December it is 
almost impossible to enter into lengthy correspondence. Personally, I average 
about fifteen hours daily in the packing room, seven days a week. Letters have 
to wait until orders are taken care of. We have tried to answer your possible 
questions in this catalog. If you must have further information, write your 
questions on separate sheets of paper so they can be answered “Yes” or “No”, 
and we'll try to send them back to you at once. Please send self-addressed 
envelopes to avoid errors. We want to help all we can but in these days when 
adequate help is almost unobtainable, there is a limit to physical ability. You 
can help us to help you by noting the above. 
Please Print or Write Your Orders Plainly — PRINT Name and 
Address ALWAYS 
Use Separate Sheet of Paper for Correspondence
