ALL BULBS offered are American grown,- Virginia or Oregon; best quality, large bloom- 
ing size bulbs, mostly double-nosed, healthy and true to name; stat inspected. 
ORDER EARLY,- PLEASE PLACE YOUR ORDER THIS SPRING; we are not digging all our bulbs 
this year,- only those for which we receive orders before digging time, so it will 
be necessary that you place your order BEFORE JUNE lst.,- the sooner the better. 
DELIVERY CHARGES will be prepaid when cash in full accompanies your order,— or 25% of 
the amount with order, and balance before delivery, EXCEPT on those offered in 
quantity (per 100, 1000 or bu.) at special prices, for Naturalizing. 
ABOUT PRICES: those given for a number of varieties are only tentative; there is a 
possibility that some of them (in the medium price range,- not the most expensive ) 
will be revised downward. If 30, you will be given benefit of the lower price by re- 
ceiving a larger quantity of bulbs, or being billed for the smaller amount. In any 
case, please do not allow the price alone to determine where your order is placed; 
we know that you will be more than pleased with our treatment of your order. 
GARDEN CLUB iEMBERS: pool your orders, and have all orders from each Club 
sent to one address. On all such orders anounting to $100. or more, we will allow a 
discount of 15% to be deducted from the amount of each individual order. Collect- 
ions, those purchased at special prices,- per 100, bu., etc.,- may be included to 
make up the $100. order, but are not subject to the 15% discount. 
PRICES given are per bulb; 12 may be purchased for the price of 10, and 100 for the 
price of 70. (6 at the dozen rate, and 50 at the 100 rate). 
PLEASE KEEP A COPY OF YOUR ORDER: this list may be used as your copy, placing the 
number of bulbs of each variety ordered to the left of the name, and the amount 
included for each at the right, totalling the order on the last page.
