PRICES. This catalog cancels all previous quotations written or oral. Prices 
quoted are for single divisions and flowering size bulbs and not for clumps or 
extra arge bulbs unless so stated. Please do not ask us to send you extra large 
bulbs. We treat all of our customers alike. If you really want larger bulbs than 
we supply for any reason add 50% to the price of the bulb as quoted in this 
catalog and we will go out of our way to oblige you. 
TERMS. Cach with order by check, draft, money order, currancy or stamp. 
Residents of California please include 3% sales tax. 
SHIPMENTS. All orders ammounting to $2.00 or over will be mailed postage 
prepaid to all parts of the United States and its possessions. On order for less 
than $2.00 add 25¢ to cover cost of packing and postage. All COD orders 
will be sent postage or express charges collect. 
SUBSTITUTIONS. As a general rule we do not substitute unless authorized 
to do so. However we suggest that you indicate a second choice when ordering 
or authorize us to use our judgement on substitutions of other varieties in case 
of shortage by checking the space provided at the bottom of the order sheet. 
CULTURE. Because of the great diversity of the materials we offer and the 
growing conditions of the purchasers we find it impossible to send out detailed 
growing instructions. We have noted in the body of this catalog the broad 
basic cultural requirements and you have to take up from there on and use 
your own judgement. One pointer: please don’t be too anxious and too much in 
a hurry to grow the bulbs. We find that more persons fail from this cause than 
from any other. They over water, over fertilize, dig around the bulbs to see 
if the roots are starting to grow, and the funny part of it is that when the 
bulb can’t take it and finally up and dies it is usually the fault of the bulb 
or the nurseryman because, as she says “I did everything and it died.” Well lady 
you did too much! 
ORDER EARLY and avoid disappointments. Place you order for the whole 
year right now and we will mail the bulbs periodically at the planting time 
or when they are available. That way you will be more certain of receiving 
what you order and we will have an idea of the number of bulbs we will need 
for the season.

LECTURES ON BULBS 
Over a period of many years we have been photographing flowers in natural 
colors in Kodachrome, and we have assembled several thousand slides. Of these 
we have selected several groups and have prepared talks to go with them. 
These lectures are available to garden and civic clubs for presentation at their 
meetings at a nominal fee. If you are interested in putting on a fine program 
that will take about one hour to present get in touch wih us about details.
