Special Delivery? 
The fall of ’48 was the first we sent any large portion of 
our bulb shipments Special Delivery and the gratifying letters 
on fast deliveries we received from all over the country have 
more than ever convinced us of the desirability of this way of 
shipping. | had occasion to write letters to several of our cus- 
tomers and they wrote back that the letter and the bulbs ar- 
rived the same day. Most of these were from the east coast and 
the fact that the bulbs arrived as quickly as the letters speaks 
highly for this method. I’m more than ever convinced that to any 
point over a thousand miles distant, special delivery is far more 
than worth the extra cost. 
A lot of you live in small towns or in the country where special 
delivery is not available BUT if your package leaves here Special 
Delivery, it is speeded on its way as fast as a first class letter 
instead of having to poke along with the vast bulk of parcel 
post which takes two or three times as long, so even if you don’t 
get actual special delivery to your door, you are greatly the 
gainer in having your package travel so much quicker. 
In the fall when every day counts in getting your bulbs into 
the ground, this fast service is invaluable. Too, there is far less 
danger of packages going astray when shipped Special Delivery 
as each one has to be individually signed for at all points. 
| wish it were possible for me to pay this added cost but in 
these days of rising expenses in almost every phase of this busi- 
ness it is impossible. The rate is 25c up to two pounds, 35c 
from two to seven pounds and 45c for seven pounds or more. 
This is the ‘Special Delivery Fee’’ which is in addition to the 
regular postage. We pay the regular postage on all packages 
unless otherwise stated. 
Again this year, as | did last season, I’m placing a notation 
on the order blank where you can indicate if you are willing to 
pay the Special Delivery Fee. You can remit in stamps after the 
bulbs are delivered. By having your bulbs forwarded this way 
they will not only travel much quicker but frequently packages 
arriving on Saturday or hoildays will be delivered at once when 
otherwise they might lay over a day or two in the hot post office. 
We Pay the Postage 
On orders of $5.00 or more within the U. S. we pay the post- 
age unless otherwise state. On orders sent out of this country 
please add 10% to cover postage and extra handling. On all 
orders less than $5.00, kindly add 50c for postage and handling. 
Shipping Dates 
All lily bulbs are dug as soon as they mature starting in August 
and continuing into November. Prepare your ground before the 
bulbs arrive and plant them as soon as possible. 
Please Order Early! 
Last year we were short thousands of bulbs and hundreds of 
customers were disappointed. Lilies are not like other plant 
material. It takes years to produce lily bulbs. Backhouse Hy- 
brids, for example, take seven years to produce flowering size 
bulbs. And each year we sell out of practically everything that 
can be spared. 
Send Your Order Now! 
As soon as you have made your selection. Don’t wait till later. 
Many varieties will be short and early orders get first considera- 
tion. Most orders are shipped in two or more lots as soon as 
they mature. This causes extra work and expense but we believe 
you are better served and your success is our success.
