INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Please read carefully 
Another year has rolled around and we are pleased to report that our 1948 sales on bulbs 
were more than satisfactory. We can only regret that our supply was not large enough 
to supply demands. 
We again urge our customers to order early while our stocks are complete. 
We highly appreciate your patronage in past seasons and feel sure that our crop for 1949 
sales is the best quality yet offered. By planting yearly on new ground, using New 
Improved Ceresan as a dip and by rigid culling of defective bulbs, we are able to main- 
tain an enviable quality of bulbs. 
RETAIL ORDERS PREPAID 
Bulbs from this list will be prepaid anywhere in the United States on orders of $2.00 or 
more. If less than that amount is ordered at one time add 20 cents to help pay for packing 
and postage. Terms are cash in full with order. 
CAUTION 
Don't risk sending currency in payment of your orders. If you do so, it must be at your 
own risk. So please send a bank draft, express money order, postoffice order or check. 
DISCLAIMER 
We use every precaution possible to grow high quality stock and keep varieties true to 
name. However, we will not hold ourselves responsible for crop grown, because the con- 
ditions of planting, tillage and general care are not within our control. However, if bulbs 
are unsatisfactory upon receipt, they may be returned for refund, and if on blossoming 
they do not prove true to name, we will replace with same or other variety of equal value. 
We have discontinued some varieties that have appeared in previous catalogs but have 
added many of the more recent introductions of same color and superior qualities. These 
newer varieties will hold many pleasant surprises for you when you see them bloom. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT 
When ordering please specify when you wish bulbs shipped. We can winter pack and 
ship safely most any time but unless you have a cool airy storage they are better off in 
our own storage until near planting time. 
It helps the customer and the shipper if a few second choice items are listed, as we are 
bound to sell out on some varieties sooner than others. If we are out of large size ordered, 
we usually send medium (also a blooming size) and add extra count to balance. 
SIZES 
Large bulbs contain No. 1 and No. 2 or 114 inch and up. 
Medium bulbs contain No. 3 and No. 4 or % to 114 inch. 
Small bulbs contain No. 5 and No. 6 or 3 to 34 inch. 
QUANTITY PRICES 
If interested in quantities of 25 or more of same variety and size, write for our quantity 
list. We have stock enough of some varieties to sell by the hundred and of a few varieties 
by the thousand.
