times you are happily surprised. Neither are you going to get the size spike you 
will get from the larger bulb the next year. Even though I have just suggested 
the purchase of bulblets, I feel that I should also give a word of caution. If hand- 
led properly some varieties will germinate almost 100 per cent, while other varieties 
will germinate a much smaller percentage and therefore it is not possible for me to 
make any guarantee as to germination. And furthermore not all varieties produce 
large bulblets and neither is it necessary to have large bulblets to get good germin- 
ation, but they should be good, plump, mature ones. I will always send good 
mature ones and the largest available. In my opinion, to get best results they 
should be pealed or cracked before planting and then planted right away before they 
become dry or hard. I also beleve that better germination is obtained if not 
planted until the ground becomes warm enough to induce prompt germination. 
If you have never had Long Island grown bulbs, I hope you will give 
them a trial. Our season is long as we can start planting the last of March or 
very first days of April and can dig the bulbs up to November 15th, a period of 
over seven months or 30 weeks. ‘Therefore our bulbs and bulblets have plenty time 
in which to mature I also have irrigation to use at any time when necessary. 
TERMS, PRICES AND SHIPMENT — On all orders for $5.00, or less, cash with 
order - over $5.00, 25% cash with order and balance before shipment. Mini- 
mum order $2.00. I can not accept orders for less than the smallest unit 
quoted. For instance, where lhsted 2 for 20, one cannot be had for 10. Five 
bulbs can be had at the 10 rate and 50 bulblets at the 100 rate only when 
the price is $1.00 or more per 100. Transportation to points within the Unit- 
ed States will be prepaid when shipment is made at my option as to parcel post or 
express. Parcel post shipments cannot be made safely until spring but if shipment 
is desired before then, I will ship express immediately, charges collect, and include 
extras to help in paying such charges. As is the custom of all shippers, I will in- 
clude extras anyway and in place of many complicated, discount offers, I will give 
additional overcount or extras depending on size of order when cash in full accom- 
panies the order. You might suggest which you prefer. 
SUBSTITUTION — All stock offered subject to prior sale. Remember I seil only 
the bulbs I have grown myself and therefore supply is limited and on some varieties 
quite limited, so you should order early. I will not substitute either size or variety 
without you so direct and will refund immediately on any item I cannot supply. 
If you wish substitution, I would appreciate your second choice with your order. 
GUARANTEE — It is my intention to send out only good, clean, healthy bulbs 
and true to name. I make no guarantee as to growth and will in no way be re- 
sponsible for the crop. If upon receipt of bulbs, you find them unsatisfactory, re- 
turn at my expense and I will cheerfully refund the full purchase price. And fur- 
thermore if you later find any not true to name, I am ready to replace, refund, or 
make adjustment.
