PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
BEFORE ORDERING 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ORDERS: As soon as your order is received, it is booked in a 
triplicate order pad. You will be mailed a copy as acknowledgement. The second copy goes to the ware- 
house for filling your order and the original remains in our office for reference. In writing regarding 
your order, please mention the order number. It saves us a lot of work in the office. (An order for less 
than $1.00 causes us so much headache, you had better send two Aspirin tablets with it. They take as 
much time as one for $100.00 and cause more trouble. MINIMUM ORDER $2.00.) 

TERMS AND DISCOUNTS: Terms are cash with order or 25% down, and balance before ship- 
ment. If not paid in full before shipping date, they will be sent C.O.D. 
On retail orders of $3.00 to $10.00 you may add 5% of the total in extra bulbs, and 10% on orders 
from $10.00 up. This discount does not apply to orders taken from the quantity list mor does it apply 
to assortments, collections or to items marked “No Discount.” On these the discount has already been 
deducted to give you a better price. If you have a preference as to varieties we should add as discount 
or extras, please mention them. Be sure to name second choice as we may not be able to give you extras 
in just what you want. But we will try. We always try to give extras on every order for trial. These are 
given in proportion to the size of the order. 
SHIPMENT: All retail orders are shipped parcel post unless otherwise specified. They are shipped 
prepaid. Usually retail orders are not shipped until after March 15th when parcel post is safer. 
WHOLESALE orders are shipped express collect unless otherwise specified, and as express is in- 
sured against frost, we ship wholesale orders at any time after cleaning is finished. However, we have 
found that from March 15th to May lst we are rushed, and there may be some delay of a few days, 
so if your order does not arrive on time, we hope that you will understand. 
BULB SIZES: Bulbs are graded into six different sizes from No. 1 to No. 6. No. 1 size is 14% 
inches and up. Jumbos are 2 inches and up. No. 2 bulbs run from 1% inches to 1% inches, with %4 inch 
variation in each size down to No. 6 size, which is % inch or under. In the retail list we sell bulbs 
under the Large, Medium and Small sizes. Large size consists of No. 1 and No. 2 sizes, and we will use 
No. 1 as far as we can. Medium size consists of No. 3 and No. 4 sizes, with No. 3 used as far as pos- 
sible. Small size includes No. 5 and No. 6, and No. 5 size is used until they are all gone. If your 
order is for Medium size and you get part or all in No. 4 size bulbs (*%4 to 1] inch), please don’t write 
to us saying you have the wrong size. It is simply because we are out of No. 3 size, and we have had to 
use No. 4 which is also included in the medium size. 
Medium size bulbs will bloom although the spike will not usually have as many buds as the large 
size. Small size bulbs will bloom if they have a good growing season in which to grow. 
We list in our retail list, 5 bulbs at the 10 rate, but we do not sell less than the smallest quoted unit. 
If a variety is listed 2 bulbs for 20c, we will not sell one bulb at 10c, as the clerical work, filling and 
packing orders is too expensive. 
GUARANTEE: Above all we take great pains to keep stock absolutely true to name. In spite of 
this, mistakes or errors are made, sometimes when we know nothing about it. We are ready to replace, 
refund or make an adjustment in some way. But tell us so that we can make a correction. 
We have declared war on bulb diseases, and feel confident that we are winning the battle. Thorough 
treating, an extensive roguing program throughout the season, and up-to-date methods of curing and 
storing, make our bulbs the best that money can buy. 
We do not warrant in any way, expressed or implied, the contents or the description, quality, pro- 
ductiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants scld by us, and we will not in any way 
be responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept these goods on above terms, no sale is made 
and goods must be returned within three days. 
SUBSTITUTIONS: We do not substitute varieties unless you give express permission. We do 
occasionaly substitute the next size when we are out of the size ordered, and give you value in bulbs 
to the amount you send. It helps us if you give permission to substitute and we will always try to sub- 
stitute in color if so permitted. Very often you win because we send you something better than you ordered.
