PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
TERMS, PRICES AND SHIPMENT — = Qn all orders for $5.00, or less, cash with 
order — over $5.00, 25% cash with order and balance before shipment. Minimum 
order $3.00, please. Minimum foreign or Canadian order $5.00. 
I cannot accept orders for less than the smallest unit quoted. For instance, 
where 2 for 30, one cannot be had for 15. Five bulbs can be had at the 10 rate and 
50 bulblets at the 100 rate only when the price is $1.00 or more per 100. Transpor- 
tation to points within the United States will be prepaid when shipment is made at 
my option as to parcel post or express. If you must send an order for less than the 
above minimum requested, then 25 cents extra must be added to help pay for 
packing and postage. Parcel post shipments cannot be made safely until spring but 
if shipment is desired before then, 1 will ship express immediately, charges collect, 
and include extras to help in paying such charges. As is the custom of all shippers, 
I will include extras anyway and in place of many complicated, discount offers, I 
will give additional overcount or extras depending on size of order when cash in 
full accompanies the order. You might suggest which you prefer. You may be 
sure these extras will fully cover these discounts and then some. If you have ever 
ordered from me you know about my generosity and if you are to place your first 
order you will soon be convinced.

“It might seem, from my package of bulbs that arrived safely this week, that 
you are in the business for the fun you can give your customers, rather than the 
profit you can make. Thank you so much for the careful packing of the bulbs 
and for the extras you included.”

“The bulbs arrived here last Friday in good condition. I received the card at 
the same time. They are healthy looking bulbs..... Thanks for the nice extras. 
I don’t understand how you do it.”

SUBSTITUTION — Aj] stock offered subject to prior sale. I will not substitute either 
size or variety without you so direct and will refund immediately on any item I 
cannot supply. If you wish substitution, please be sure to indicate your desire by 
using spaces on order blank for that purpose. If you should check substitution for 
both “nearest size” and “similar color,” I will always substitute the size first, if still 
available. If you care to make a second choice when sending your order, instead 
of leaving selection to me, it would be greatly appreciated. By following these 
suggestions it might save correspondence and also gave you a better substitution 
than could be made after exchange of letters, during which time the best substitute 
might have been sold out. The foregoing is especially applicable to orders for the 
small varieties in many of which the supply is more or less limited. I will always 
make substitutions and ask for your approval before final entry of your order.
