We send out only healthy bulbs, true to name, and will cheerfully refund the 
purchase price on any order found unsatisfactory upon receipt and promptly 
returned. No guarantee of growth is implied in the sale nor can we be responsible 
for the crop. The right is reserved to substitute smaller sizes if stock of: large 
bulbs of a variety is sold out; in which case a sufficient number of bulbs will be 
added to your order to more than offset the difference in price. All orders are 
placed with these conditions accepted by the purchaser, and orders are accept:d 
subject to prior sale of stock. 
“ll orders must be accompanied by cash in full. Orders from the retail list 
are prepaid to all points in the U. S. A. If orders from the retail list and the 
Home Gardener’s Special are mixed, the entire order will be sent express collect 
and sufficient extras included to more than cover transportation on the bulbs 
ordered from the retail list. 
We begin planting small bulbs early in April. Large bulbs are planted from 
the middle of April through May, and by the end of May the only bulbs remaining 
are those we are holding to plant for late bloom. So early orders are appreciated, 
and we usually try to show our thanks by giving overcount or extras. 
This price list cancels all previously published prices.
