EVERHART'S PRICE LIST 3 

Guarantee 
We guarantee all bulbs to be true to name, free 
cf disease, and we will replace up to the purchase 
value of any stock that does not meet this guar- 
antee. We cannot guarantee growth as soil may 
be poor or infected with disease. 
Just a word about our policy. We select bulbs 
for your order of a quality that we would like to 
receive if the order were our own. 
Please Read Carefully 
ALL STOCK SUBJECT TO PRIOR SALE. 
Large bulbs are one and one-quarter inches and 
up in diameter, and produce the finest show spikes. 
Medium bulbs measure three-quarters to one and 
ene-quarter inches and produce very satisfactory 
blooms though the average spike is smaller than 
from large bulbs. 
Small bulbs are one-quarter to three-quarter 
inches and sometimes produce small spikes. They 
produce larger bulbs for next year. They are a 
good way to start in with new expensive varieties 
if your budget is limited. 
Bulblets seldom bloom and are often hard to 
germinate. Experienced growers know what to do 
and usually peel all expensive varieties. Amateurs 
should try their hands at germinating low-priced 
bulblets or carefully follow the advice of exper- 
ienced growers. 
Thrips and Disease Control. 
Our idea of well nigh perfect control would be 
Fall and Spring gassing of bulbs with Menthyl 
Bromide in a specially prepared gas chamber. Just 
before planting, we like to use a five-minute dip 
in an agitated solution of Mercurous - Chloride 
(Calomel), one pound to five or ten gallons of 
water. This helps control Basal Rot, Hard Rot, 
Sclerotinia Scab. 
If unable to use this combination treatment, we 
still like the old reliable two-hour soaking, just 
before planting, in Bichloride or Mercury solution 
prepared with one ounce to seven and one-half 
gallons of water, using wood or crock container 
but never metal containers. 
Field control is accomplished by standard sprays 
with Tartar Emetic, DDT or the newer parathion. 
Consult instructions shipped with bulbs.
