INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING—BUSINESS TERMS 
READ CAREFULLY 
GUARANTEE-—It is our aim to send out only healthy, true to name and disease- 
free stock. We use extreme caution to keep our bulbs separate and true to 
name. However, we do make mistakes, and we are always ready to gladly 
rectify such mistakes. If stock does not meet with your avproval it should be 
returned to us at once and purchase price will be refunded. We do not, how- 
ever, guarantee bulblets to grow, nor, will we be responsible for the crop, the 
original amount of the order being the maximum amount that we will be 
liable for. Growing conditions and the careless use of the new chemical dips 
of which we do not have any control, makes this mandatory. 
BUSINESS TERMS—Minimum order $2.50. All stock offered subject to prior sale. 
Cash with order, or 25% will hold order for later delivery, balance before 
delivery, or will send balance C.O.D. 
SHIPMENTS—All prices quoted under the retail list are sent prepaid. If your 
order includes both retail and wholesale items. we will include in one package 
and send charges collect. In such cases we will include enough extras to more 
than offset the charges. Parcel post orders are sent only when there is no 
danger from freezing—about December 15 to March 1. Express orders will be 
prepaid if order amounts to $10.00 or more. This is the proper way for cus- 
tomers in the South to have their orders sent in the winter months, as the 
Express Company fully insures and guarantees safe delivery. Orders are sent 
at proper planting time or as specified on order. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ORDERS—AlII orders are acknowledged either by card 
or invoice bearing an order number. If necessary to write about your order, 
we would appreciate your mentioning your order number that we may locate 
it quickly.

more extras. We like to include some of the newer varieties for trial. Var- 
ieties marked net cannot be included or used as extras.
