OUR GUARANTEE ! If, for eny reeson, any bulbs purchesed from us are un- 
satisfactory upon arrival, just return them promptly for a full refund, in- 
cluding transportation charges. Or, if at blooming time, you feel that your 
order was not properly filled, just let us know what is wrong end we will try 
to adjust any error to your satisfaction. Of course, we cannot guarantee that 
every bulb we sell will make a good spike, as your growing conditions are be- 
yond our control. Nor can we guarentee germination of bulblets. 
Large bulbs (L) are size No. 1 and 2. These sizes are best for growing 
exhibition spikes. Medium bulbs (M) are sizes No. 3 and 4. These sizes are 
commonly used for out-door cutflower growing. iMMost verieties will make al- 
most as good spikes from this size as they do from larger bulbs. Small sizes 
(S) are No. 5 end 6, are used meinly for increase end for growing large bulbs 
for the following season. However, many bulbs of this size, if given good 
care, will make small spikes the first season. 
NEW VARIETIES - This season we heve added a few new varieties to our list, 
but we have dropped 34 that appeared if our 1950 list. In some cases these 
discontinued varieties have been replaced with newer varieties that are better, 
In other cases they have been dropped merely because we must keep our list 
down to a certain size,- and we anted to add a few new ones. Just because a 
veriety is new or high-priced it is, not necessarilly the best in it's color- 
class. Greta Garbo, Pfitzer's Masterpiece, Snow Princess, Burma, Marguerite, 
and many other not-so-new varieties, can still win the blue ribbons in stiff 
competition. 
Each year we try out many new varieties, ond also act as a judge of new 
seedlings in two national trial gardens. We cant try them all, of course,- 
no one has that kind of money. But just as soon as we find new ones that are 
really worth-while, we will add them to our list. There are some varieties 
thet do well here, that do not do well in the midwest,- and vice versa.
