ask what kind of flowers I was wearing when I was wearing a corsage of face-ups. 
They always look as if they only half believed me when I say miniature gladiolus.”

TERMS, PRICES AND SHIPMENT — On all orders for $5.00, or less, cash with 
order — over $5.00, 25% cash with order and balance before shipment. Minimum 
order $3.00. I can not accept orders for less than the smallest unit quoted. For 
instance, where listed 2 for 30, one cannot be had for 15. Five bulbs can be had at 
the 10 rate and 50 bulblets at the 100 rate only when the price is $1.00 or more per 
100. Transportation to points within the United States will be prepaid when ship- 
ment 1s made at my option as to parcel post or express. Parcel post shipments can- 
not be made safely until spring but if shipment is desired before then, I will ship 
express immediately, charges collect, and include extras to help in paying such 
charges. As is the custom of all shippers, I will include extras anyway and in place 
of many complicated, discount offers, I will give additional overcount or extras 
depending on size of order when cash in full accompanies the order. You might 
suggest which you prefer. You may be sure these extras will fully cover these 
discounts and then some. If you have ever ordered from me you know about my 
generosity and if you are to place your first order you will soon be convinced.

I always send a card when I make the shipment so that you may know 
it is on the way and so be looking for it.

to thank you for the very generous way you filled my order. It makes me wish 
that ui had given you my w hole order instead of scattering it around.”

SUBSTITUTION — All stock offered subject to prior sale. Remember I sell only 
the bulbs I have grown myself and therefore supply is limited and on some 
varieties quite limited, so you should order early. I will not substitute either size 
or variety without you so direct and will refund ‘immediately on any item I cannot 
supply. If you wish substitution, I would appreciate your second choice with 
your order. 
GUARANTEE — It is my intention to send out only good, clean, healthy bulbs 
and true to name. J make no guarantee as to growth and will i in no way be respon- 
sible for the crop. If upon receipt of bulbs, you find them unsatisfactory, return at 
my expense and I will cheerfully refund the full purchase price. And furthermore 
if you later find any not true to name, I am ready to replace, refund, or make 
adjustment. 
INSPECTION — My glads have been inspected by the New York State Department 
of Agriculture and Markets and are shipped under its certificate of inspection. 
NOTE — Keep this list for future reference as these varieties will not appear in 
my general catalog which will be mailed to you later. Tf you mislay this, ask for 
another,
