TERMS 
Please send payment in full with order by check or Money Order. No C.Q.D.’s, as they greatly 
delay our shipping schedule. 
SHIPPING SCHEDULE 
We begin shipping most bulbs listed in this catalog about the third week in March, .but may 
delay if weather is cold and there is danger of bulbs freezing enroute. 
As we handle a wide assortment of bulbs, which ripen at different periods, and arrive from our 
growers at various intervals (depending on whether they should be planted early or late), your 
order may be shipped in several parts at different times. However, in all cases we ship premptly 
at the proper time. 
All orders are shipped in the same rotation as received, so order as early as possible for early 
shipment. 
SUBSTITUTIONS 
Although we order surplus stocks of merchandise for late orders and last-minute needs, varieties 
frequently sell out faster than expected. Substitutions are always selected with great care, and 
we try to match the variety desired as closely as possible. Substitutes will be of equal or greater 
value in every case. 
If you prefer not to receive substitutions for items not available, just check the appropriate 
box at the bottom of our order blank, or write ‘‘No Substitutions’’. 
POSTAGE 
We ship so many items varying in size and weight to all parts of the United States, it is impossible 
to include postage rates in the price of our merchandise that would be fair to everyone. There- 
fore we pay postage on all Parcel Post at time of shipping, and notify you by card the correct 
amount to refund us. 
GUARANTEE 
We take a great deal of pride in our bulbs and supply only caref ully selected, top quality stock. 
Each order is handled individually with a great deal of personal attention, and is carefully 
packed, labeled, and shipped by a capable dependable staff. 
For this reason, our guarantee is not limited by any set rules. If any shipment is not received 
in absolutely perfect condition . . . if bulbs do not. grow as well as expected . . . or blooms are 
not of exceptional quality . . . be sure to write us, and replacements or refund will be sent prompt- 
NE pene is no need to return the bulbs in question as we always accept the word of our gardening 
riends. 
All bulbs are certified true to name, color, and description; to be the correct size ordered; and 
the finest: quality obtainable. And, of course, they are guaranteed to reach you in absolutely 
perfect condition no matter how far a distance they have to travel. 
SMALL ORDERS 
The smallest order we can handle without actually taking a loss is $2.00. However, realizing that 
gardeners frequently have need of only 1 or 2 items, we will gladly handle small orders of less 
than $2.00 if 35c extra is included to cover clerical costs and packaging.
