Now that our bulbs are sufficiently cured we are dusting them with D. D. T. We 
used it last year on our bulbs in storage, and although the frequent rains washed 
off our weekly spray in the fields, we came through the season absolutely free from 
thrips damage. Not one spotted bloom did we find in our entire plantings. We 
can confidently assert that our bulbs are free of thrips. 
In addition to the varieties in this catalog we grow about 200 more in quanti- 
ties insufficient to list. Many of these are newer varieties which we use in our hy- 
bridizing, but it is quite possible that if you wish a small number of some kinds 
you do not find among these pages we could supply you if you would tell us what 
you desire. 
We offer no cash discounts on large orders, for we believe this to be a per- 
nicious practice which favors the customers with plenty of money to spend. Neither 
do we feel that it is enough to have customers who are merely satisfied. We in- 
tend to fill each order, whether large or small, so that the customer will be 
delighted. ‘A surprise in every package” is our motto. 
We believe our prices to be as low as those of any other grower, and are con- 
fident that many of them are listed at considerably less. However, if we have 
overpriced any offering we will cheerfully meet the price of any other reputable 
grower if we have the stock. Obvious errors in this st are hereby cancelled. 
BUSINESS TERMS 
All retail orders will be delivered free anywhere in the United States, either 
by parcel post or by express, but orders taken at the hundred rate are F. O. B. 
Rochester. On larger orders we recommend express shipments, especially if you 
have free delivery service. 
The labor involved in packaging makes it impossible for us to accept an order 
for less than $2.00. Please do not order any single item for less than 15 cents. 
We endeavor to send out only clean and healthy bulbs which are true to name, and 
we wi!l cheerfully refund the purchase price of any promptly returned order which 
is found to be unsatisfactory, but we can give no warranty concerning either the 
growth or flowering of the bulbs. So many factors of weather conditions and 
cultural practices makes this mandatory, but should any variety prove untrue to 
name we will replace it with new stock, together with its natural increase, upon 
receipt of the stock concerning which complaint was made. Orders are accepted 
only under these conditions and are subject to prior sales. 
This price list cancels all previously published prices and voids any heretofore 
published business terms. 
THINGS TO DO 
Start right. If you have any of those old cinnamon colored glads which have 
disgraced the countryside for the past twenty-five years, sprinkle them with fuel 
oil to prevent them from ever again germinating and cart them off to the dump. 
They were not beautiful when they were new and they will never improve with age.
