Herrin is a colorful world of beauty and pleasure 
for those who find fascination in growing things—a 
rich and varied selection of bulbous and tuberous 
plants from all parts of the planet to add zest to your 
gardening adventures.

gems in the same spirit we pass on a good book or a 
tasty recipe to our friends.

—such as the flamboyant Tigridia and Montbretia; 

5% DISCOUNT ON EARLY ORDERS 
As most of our stock is imported direct from Holland early 
orders are of great benefit to us. Therefore, we offer 5% discount 
on all orders (bulbs only) mailed on or before FEBRUARY 15, 
1949. Early ordering also benefits the customer, assuring a 
good supply of the items desired, and early shipment. 
TERMS 
Please send payment in full with order by check or money order. 
No C.O.D.’s as they greatly delay our shipping schedule. 
Unless otherwise stated 50 bulbs of any one variety may be 
purchased at 1% the 100 price; 6 at 14 the 12 price. Due to pack- 
aging costs we cannot sell a smaller quantity of any one item 
than is listed. 
SHIPPING SCHEDULE 
We begin shipping most bulbs about the third week in March, 
but may delay if weather is cold and there is danger of bulbs 
freezing enroute. 
As bulbs arrive from Holland at various stages, depending 
on whether they should be planted early or late, parts of your 
order may be shipped at different times. In all cases we ship at 
the proper time. Keep in mind that orders are shipped in the 
same rotation as received, so order early for early shipment. 
SUBSTITUTIONS 
Although we always order surplus stocks of merchandise for 
late orders and last minute needs, varieties frequently sell out
