Please Read Before Ordering 
Terms: Retail orders are prepaid—minimum order $3.00, please. Mini- 
mum Canadian or foreign order $5.00. Cash (check or money order pre- 
ferred) with order, or on orders amounting to $10.00 or more you may 
send 25% down, balance due before delivery. Please order as early as 
possible. 
Prices: We think you will find our prices in line with those of other 
reliable growers who furnish stock of comparable high quality. If some 
items should be priced too low, it is your gain—if too high we will add 
extra count to your order to make up the difference. And remember that 
poorly grown or diseased stock is not cheap at any price; we aim to sell 
the quality of bulbs we ourselves like to receive. 
Bulbs: All bulbs are priced per each, unless otherwise noted. The 
amount listed is the minimum sold—where bulbs are priced, for example, 
at 2—.20 or 3—.25, please do not order less than these amounts. We sell 
10 bulbs at 8 times the price of one; 5 at 4 times price of one; or 3 at 2% 
times price of one. We do not issue a regular wholesale list. 
Please Note—Where bulbs are priced: 
2.25, ten bulbs are $1.00 (5 for 50) 2.30, ten bulbs are $1.20 (5 for .60) 
3—.25, ten bulbs are’ .70 (5 for 35) 2—.20, ten bulbs are 80 (5 for .40) 
4—.25, ten bulbs are_ .50 3—.20, ten bulbs are 60 (9 for 30) 
8—.25, ten bulbs are .30 4.20, ten bulbs are .40 
Bulblets: These are sold as priced, except that where a 25 or 50 price 
is not given, 50 bulblets will be sold at half the 100 price, or 25 for twice 
the 10 price. 
Delivery: Bulb shipments usually begin in early March, or as soon as 
safe from freezing. West coast or Southern orders can be sent sooner if 
desired. If you do not need your bulbs until late April or early May, we 
will appreciate your letting us know. A large percentage of our customers 
request shipment about April 1, which makes quite a rush at that time. 
We guarantee safe arrival of all orders. We send most retail orders by 
parcel post, since express costs us more as a rule. 
Guarantee: We guarantee our stock to be free from insects or disease, 
and true to name. If found otherwise please notify us as soon as possible. 
Every order must be completely satisfactory to you, or your money back. 
Due to varying conditions of soil and culture we cannot, of course, guar- 
antee bulb growth or bulblet germination. Nor in case of error can we be 
responsible for any amount larger than that actually paid for stock pur- 
chased. All stock is offered subject to crop and prior sale. All varieties 
and prices in this catalog supercede those of all previous catalogs or price 
lists issued by us. 
Sizes: Bulb sizes offered are L ( Large), sizes 1 and 2 assorted; M (Med- 
ium), sizes 3 and 4 assorted; S (Small), sizes 5 and 6 assorted. Subject 
to supply, and particularly on early orders, we always put in as many 
No. 1’s, 3’s and 5’s as possible for L, M, and S, respectively. Large bulbs 
should give maximum bloom, altho many of the best glad growers prefer 
the medium sizes. A good plump medium bulb of number 3 size will often 
actually produce a better spike than a large bulb, which may split into 
two or more spikes. Small bulbs usually bloom, later in the season with 
smaller spikes, altho a few varieties hardly ever bloom from small bulbs. 
Bulblets cannot be counted on to bloom, altho some do. Buying bulblets 
is a cheap way to get started with a new variety, and they should make 
good bulbs for the following year. However, bulblets of some varieties are 
hard to sprout; all should be given extra moisture, especially in the early 
stages of growth. 
Extras: In addition to our Premium Seedling bulbs described elsewhere 
in this catalog, we try to be as generous as possible with overcount or 
oversizing, and extras for trial. We are always glad to have our customers 
send a list of several varieties they would like to try, from which we may 
select these extras. We will send, according to the size of your order, as 
many as our stocks permit.
