them in cold storage and take them out when you want them. We have a storage here that we 
can keep them in till August but it is not cold enough to hold them later. 
Publishing Date 
The first price list | put out every season is sent out in early October. Many old customers 
get nervous and begin to write in a month or more before the price list comes out and unless we 
check up all of these names there are liable to be duplications. So if you have bought bulbs of 
us within the past 3 years don't send for a price list before about November 1st. If you don't 
get one by that time the chances are it has been lost. 
My regular descriptive catalog comes out in early January. The same applies to this. If you 
don’t get it by the latter part of January and you have bought of me during the past 3 years 
just drop me a card and | will send you one. 
Do not order from my catalog after August 1st. My bulbs are either sold out or planted 
then and new prices prevail when my new list is out in October. My selling season ends August 1st. 
Change of Address 
When moving or changing your address, if you wish to remain on our mailing list, just notify 
us of the change, giving both your old and your new addresses. Even though you notify your 
Post Office of your change of address, they will not forward catalogs. Every year we have 
hundreds of catalogs returned that were addressed to people that have moved and didn’t 
notify us.
