TERMS OF SALE 
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
PRICES. This catalog cancels all previous quotations written or oral. Prices quoted 
are for single divisions and flowering size bulbs and not for clumps or extra large bulbs 
unless so stated. Please do not ask us to send you extra large bulbs. We treat all of 
our customers alike. If, for any reason, you really want larger bulbs than we supply add 
50% to the price of the bulb as quoted in this catalog and we will go out of our way 
to oblige you. 
TERMS. Cash with order by check, draft, money order, currency or stamp. Residents 
of California please include 3% sales tax. 
SHIPMENTS. For the last several years we have been making every effort to keep 
our prices to a minimum consistent with quality and still absorb the constantly rising 
cost of every item of expense we are subjected to. It has not been easy but we did manage 
to survive. However, we find there is a limit to what we can absorb. With the new 
parcel post rate increase of 25% we find ourselves reluctantly forced to send all orders 
via express collect or parcel post charges C.O.D. whichever is more convenient for you. 
It will be a nuisance for us to have to make out a money order for such small amounts 
but we see no alternative. Therefore all prices quoted in this catalog are F.O.B. Arcadia. 
Of course there is a brighter side to this picture; since you ate paying the postage we 
can send you larger bulbs or include extras. 
SUBSTITUTIONS. As a general rule we do not substitute unless authorized to do 
so. However we suggest that you indicate a second choice when ordering or authorize us 
to use our judgment on substitutions of other varieties in case of shortage by checking 
the space provided at the bottom of the order sheet. 
\ 
CULTURE. Because of the great diversity of the materials we offer and the growing 
conditions of the purchasers we find it impossible to send out detailed growing instruc- 
tions. We have noted in the body of this catalog the broad basic cultural requirements 
and you have to take up from there on and use your own judgment. One pointer: please 
don’t be too anxious and too much in a hurry to grow the bulbs. We find that more 
persons fail from this cause than from any other. They over water, over fertilize, dig 
around the bulbs to see if the roots are starting to grow, and the funny part of it is that 
when the bulb can’t take it and finally up and dies it is usually the fault of the bulb or 
the nurseryman because, as she says “I did everything and it died.” Well lady you did 
too much! 
ORDER EARLY and avoid disappointments. Place your order for the whole year 
right now and we will mail the bulbs periodically at the planting time or when they are 
available. That way you will be more certain of receiving what you order and we will 
have an idea of the number of bulbs we will need for the season.
