PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
ARRIVAL OF SHIPMENTS. Our first regular shipment usually arrives in East Aurora about 
the middle of September and further shipments arrive every week thereafter until the end of 
October. Do not delay ordering until the last day as it is obvious that orders placed late 
cannot be included in the first consignment. Autumn Crocuses, Colchicums, Lycoris, Lilium 
candidum, and Nerine, which must be planted very early are shipped in a special consignment 
in August; Lilies (other than Candidum) which are late ripening, and Amaryllis, are shipped 
in late consignment reaching East Aurora in early November. 
TERMS. Please send payment in full with order either by check or money order; no C.O.D.’s. 
If cash is sent, please register letter. All prices are F.O.B. East Aurora, unless otherwise stated, 
and include duties and other import expenses. Customer pays transportation from East Aurora 
only. All orders will be sent Parcel Post unless other arrangements are made. 
Due to packaging costs we cannot sell a smaller quantity of any one item than is listed. 
Minimum Order is $2.50, but we are glad to handle orders for less amount if you include 
35c additional to cover packaging and handling costs. 
50 of any one item may be purchased at the hundred rate. If interested in 250 or more, 
please inquire for special prices. 
POSTAGE. Inasmuch as we ship so many varied items to all points of the United States it is 
impossible to include postage rates in the price of our merchandise that would be fair to 
everyone. Therefore, we prepay postage on all Parcel Post at time of shipping and notify the 
customer of the correct amount to refund us. 
EARLY ORDERS EARN DISCOUNT. For our mutual advantage orders should be placed 
as early as possible. A 5% discount will be allowed on all bulb orders postmarked on or 
before July 15. We do not carry a stock of bulbs in East Aurora but import to order only. All 
orders should reach us well in advance of planting time to allow for shipment from Holland. 
GUARANTEE. We guarantee the bulbs to be true-to-name, the size ordered and to reach 
you in good condition, but we cannot be responsible for your skill in growing them. In case 
of error, please write us promptly upon receipt of goods and immediate adjustment will be 
made.
