Insurance. The bulbs are insured during transit at our expense and the insurance in-

Our Guarantee. As ail other Leading American Importers we disclaim responsibility 
as to the flowering results and crop, but we guarantee our bulbs to be perfectly true to 
name and to be of the finest and best quality the year produces. All bulbs offered in 
this list are thoroughly examined for their density and soundness before leaving our 
nurseries and subsequently certified by an authorized official of the Dutch Government 
Phytopathological Service Department. ;

Early orders are earnestly requested, so that we may make arrangements beforehand

April. 
All quotations are made out in U.S.-Dollars and without engagement. The exe- 
cution of orders, even if accepted, is subject to accidents such as fire, strike, alterations 
in tariffs or governmental regulations. 
Substitution. In the ordinary course of business we do not substitute, as is so often 
done, without the authority from Customers. Sometimes, however, it occurs late in the 
season that a particular variety is sold out, or that from failure of a crop, or some un- 
foreseen cause, the exact instructions of the order cannot be carried out. We therefore 
beg our Clients to inform, if they object to substituting other varieties, if not we shall al- 
ways use our best knowledge and ability to send good varieties, of equal merit, usefulness 
and value. If we do substitute, we wish it to be distinctly understood, that we shall al- 
ways give the name of the variety sent. 
Customers are invited to examine the goods on arrival and to check the con- 
tents of their consignment. Paper bags should be opened, so as to allow fresh air to the 
bulbs. 
Collective or group orders. We strongly recommended our Customers to join with 
Friends or Neighbors to make up a group order. Horticultural Societies, Garden Clubs, 
Institutes, Schools etc. are advised to pool their orders. The different individual orders 
are all properly packed and labelled separately so that they can be easily distributed. 
The smaller boxes and parcels will be placed in one or more large cases and are shipped 
to the sender of the order.
