NEWER GLADS FOR 1948 
She 2 AND | 
THE BEST OF THE OLD TIMERS 
GREETINGS — In this 1948 catalogue you will find listed newer 
varieties which have made a satisfactory showing for us, either during 
the 1947 growing season or in previous years. Of the more recent 
introductions, we grew a great many that are not listed. We do not 
feel that we should list them unless they did make a good showing for 
us. Each variety listed has given a satisfactory showing and is worthy 
of your consideration, and we feel what we offer will give a dependable 
performance. We have tried to set forth their faults as well as their 
virtues. The older varieties listed have survived the years with credit 
and we know they are good. 
ORDERING — We do not solicit orders under $3.00. All orders 
over $5.00 will be sent prepaid — all orders under $5.00 will be shipped 
F.0.B. Aurora, Ohio. A deposit of 25% (Minimum $1.00) is required 
to hold orders, balance to be paid before shipment is made. We always 
try to include an extra bulb or two (depending upon the size of your 
order) for you to try and would appreciate your listing what you would 
like in the way of varieties. 
GUARANTEE — Our bulbs are guaranteed true to name and 
free from disease or thrips. Examine them immediately upon arrival 
and if not satisfactory, advise us. Occasional errors are humanly 
possible. Therefore, if any of the bulbs shall be found not as repre- 
sented, we will replace them, (together with something extra for your 
trouble) or we will refund your money if you will return the unsatis- 
factory stock. At no time will we be liable for more than the original 
amount paid for the bulbs. Due to conditions beyond our control, we 
are not responsible for growth of bulbs or bulblets. All orders are 
placed with the above understanding by the purchaser. 
SHIPPING — Shipping usually starts about March 1st, depending 
upon weather conditions. Express is the safest means of transporta- 
tion. If your express office is different from your postoffice, be sure 
to note it on your order.

varieties listed, by placing your order early, you get the pick of the

as possible after its receipt. You should get your acknowledgment
