Our fields were inspected last August and passed 
100%. Our bulbs will be storage inspected and rest assured 
anything condemned will be immediately destroyed.

handled at any time.

bulblets please, after April 1 or for bulbs after April 15.

If your order is late and you're in doubt drop us‘a line 
and we'll let you know if what you want is unplanted. 
BULB SIZES 
Large bulbs - 14 inch and up; Medium bulbs % inch 
to 14 inch and Small bulbs, 4 inch to % inch. 
D> Disk. 
Use common sense precautions when handling D.D.T., 
excessive inhalation is to be avoided. This is the warning 
of several authorities. We used 50% wettable D.D.T. 
exclusively this summer and the thrips control it gave 
was remarkable. Dreft - 1 teaspoon to the gallon was 
used as a spreader and sticker. Always follow the manu- 
facturer’s formula when making the spray mixture. 
PRICES 
The prices quoted are figured on a comparative basis, 
using all available catalogs of growers from around the 
world. We believe our prices are fair, both to the custo- 
mer and other catalogers. If you feel we’re amiss some- 
where down the line feel free to let us know. Well 
appreciate it very much and see what can be done about 
it. 
Sincerely,
