Terms 
I hope your order will not be for less than $2.00 
since after packaging and mailing costs are deducted 
there can be little profit realized on an order for less 
that this amount. 
Please do not split a listing. That is, if a glad item 
is listed as 3 for 15c do not order 1 for 5c; order as 
quoted. 
Orders for $2.00 and over will be sent prepaid. 
Cash ‘should accompany orders. Early orders will 
be acknowledged, but will not be shipped until 
above-freezing weather. prevails. 
All orders will be filled by myself so that you may 
be assured of being taken care of by one familiar 
with the wishes of the hobbyist and showman. This 
means you will receive good clean bulbs guaranteed 
true to name and in the condition I would like if I 
were on the receiving end. Gladiolus bulbs will come 
to you treated with DDT dust and Arasan dust— 
your protection against thrips and diseases. In other 
words, your bulbs will not have to be treated in any 
way; they'll be all reaay to plant. 
If you are not satisfied with your bulbs upon re- 
ceipt return them or at least voice your complaint at 
once, and I will correct whatever may be wrong. 
Once you have planted them, however, J cannot be 
responsible for the outcome. 
My stock has undergone both field and storage in- 
spections, and will come to you under an inspection 
certificate of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. 
Orders are accep‘ed subject to prior sale. I wil 
not substitute one variety for another unless you in- 
dicate this is satisfactory to you. I would appre- 
ciate, however, if you would state whether a differ- 
ent size of glad bulb is acceptable to you in the 
event I am out of the size you order. 
Extras and overcounts will be included in all or- 
ders, the amount of such gratuities being in pronor- 
tion to the size of orders. They will compare favor- 
ably with complicated discount inducements offered 
by some catalogers. 
Ten bulbs will be sold at 8 times the single rate. 
Glad varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are 
available in larger quantities and may be purchased 
at the 100 rate, which is 8 times the 10 price. Twen- 
ty-five bulbs may be purchased at the hundred rate. 
The term “bulbs” as used above refers to gladiolus 
corms and dahlia tubers. 
Canadian customers must apply for import permit 
from the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, Can.
