FREE PREMIUM BULB OFFER 
: With every order from the following list amounting to $10.00 or more we will 
include free of charge extra bulbs of our choice to the value of 10% of the order; 
with orders of $15.00 or more 15% extra, and with orders of $25.00 or more 25% 
extra. Although in view of inevitable shortages in many varieties we must reserve 
the right to decide which free premium bulbs you are to receive, you are welcome 
to name preferences which we will endeavor to follow subject to stock and orders 
on hand. This offer will expire June 1, 1949, as surplus stock must be planted 
during the following month to clear our storage space for Fall bulbs. Please 
note that this free premium offer applies only to orders made up from the alpha- 
betical listing of named varieties; collections or mixtures are not included as 
these are heavily discounted in advance. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS

GARDEN,” written especially for the amateur with complete directions covering 
every phase from soil preparation to winter storage, is included free with each 
order. Those who want it before ordering may send 10c in coin or stamps.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 
Please read carefully before ordering. 
TERMS: Payment in full with order, preferably by check, money order or postal 
note. Cash is sent at the customer’s risk; no stamps accepted. 
POSTAGE: We pay postage on all orders of $5.00 or more within the continental 
limits of the United States; those of less amount should include 10% extra. This 
proviso applies equally to all orders from foreign countries. Please add parcel 
post insurance to your remittance if you wish them insured against loss. Since 
parcel post shipments going eastward are subject to freezing during the winter 
months we advise shipment by express if you specify shipping dates through the 
period December 1 to March 1; the rates are higher but the express company is 
responsible for freeze damage. We do not, however, prepay charges on express 
shipments; they are sent transportation collect, but we include extra bulbs of a 
value equal to the express charges. 
PRICES: Please do not split minimum quantities as listed. Where a variety 
is listed at 2 for 20c or 3 for 25c do not order a single bulb at a lower price, as 
we cannot economically handle any item for less than 15c. Five bulbs of any var- 
iety are sold at half the 10 rate, 25 bulbs at twice the 10 rate, and 100 bulbs at 
7 times the 10 rate. Write for our wholesale list for quotations on larger quantities. 
MINIMUM ORDER: We cannot accept orders for less than $2.00. The cost 
of processing small orders is so high in proportion to their value that we lose 
money on them under existing conditions. 
BULB SIZES: Prices quoted are for large bulbs (14%4” or more in diameter). 
which will be used to fill orders in rotation while stocks last. We do not offer 
medium sizes as these are mostly reserved to grow for our cut flower trade, but it 
may occasionally be necessary to use medium size bulbs to avoid disappointing 
the customer, especially late in the season; in all such cases a heavy extra count 
of 50% or more is given to make up the full value. 
SUBSTITUTIONS: Since many varieties are limited in quantity it is ad- 
visable to indicate a few second choices when ordering, unless you wish to leave 
this to our judgement. No substitution will be effected without your authoriza- 
tion; when in doubt as to the customer’s wishes on this point we generally supply 
the lack of one kind by giving extra count on another. We do however reserve the 
right to substitute for any variety included in the various collections. All substi- 
tutions made at our discretion are guaranteed to be of similar kind and equal or 
greater value. 
WARRANTY: All bulbs sold by us are top quality Oregon-grown stock 
warranted free of disease and insect pests, true to name and separately packed 
and labeled by variety. Any complaint as to quality or condition of stock will 
assure the purchaser a refund, replacement or other satisfactory adjustment 
if made within 10 days of delivery. Our liability is in every instance limited to 
the original purchase price. 
DATE OF SHIPMENT: Orders are filled in rotation as received with ship- 
ment beginning January 1 (except Christmas Gift Specials). If you wish ship- 
ment deferred until the proper planting season in your locality please specify; 
we will promptly acknowledge your order and hold the bulbs in storage for 
delivery at the time desired. In either case it is advisable to get your order in 
early while we still have complete stocks of the kinds you want. Orders received 
after July 1 must be declined as our shipping season ends with that date.
