Orders are booked as received. We again urge you to order early even though 
shipment is requested for planting time. Each order is acknowledged and no sub- 
stitutions are made without your permission. Full cultural directions are included with 
each shipment of bulbs. When your shipment arrives, the package should be opened 
immediately so the air can get to the bulbs. Place them in a cool (not freezing}, dry 
place until planting. If you have any questions regarding your glads, let us hear from 
you and we will do our best to help you in any way we can. Any of you folks who 
have not ordered in the last three years will be dropped from our mailing list unless 
we hear from you this year with a request to remain on or with a bulb order. If you 
do not care to order from this catalog, possibly you could give it to a friend or neigh- 
bor that might be interested. 
We want to thank our many customers for past business and hope you will all find 
varieties of your liking listed herein. Your repeat orders and friendly comments are 
most gratifying. We're sure, with a little care, our bulbs will do as well for you as 
they do for us here in "The Valley of Paradise”.
