We are very happy to present our 1952 Price List for your consideration. 
We wish to thank our old customers for the nice orders we have received in 
the past, also for the letters of commendation for our bulbs. We wish to 
assure you and prospective customers that we shall endeavor to merit your 
continued patronage. 
Our 1951 season was a most satisfactory one, in spite of the fact that 
we did get somewhat more than our share of rain late in the season. We 
were very much pleased with the results from clearing and fitting an entirely 
new piece of land for our glads. Our glads were unusually thrifty and free 
from disease. We carefully rogued our plantings, harvested early, and dried 
our bulbs rapidly with circulating, artificial heat. After cleaning, all bulbs 
were dusted with Spergon and DDT. We intend to sell only good clean 
healthy bulbs. On receipt of your order from us, if you are not entirely 
satisfied with the bulbs, we would appreciate it if you would return them 
to us, and we will gladly refund your money. We cannot, however, be 
responsible for the results obtained. We do send cultural directions with 
every order, and we are very glad to help you with your problems. 
As is our custom we have added several new varieties to our list and 
dropped some of the older ones. We cannot afford to try all of the new 
varieties, but we are sure that you will be pleased with those we are 
offering. It seems a pity that so many of the older varieties are being 
discarded in favor of newer and sometimes inferior ones. You will notice 
that we are still retaining some of the older ones. We believe that each 
variety that we are listing, whether old or new, has merit and is worthy of 
your consideration. Price and date of introduction are not necessarily the 
measure of quality. 
Our terms are cash with orders up to $5.00. On orders over $5.00 we 
will accept 25% with order, balance before shipment. We will prepay 
transportation on orders of $2.50 and up, except orders for collections 
and wholesale orders. On orders amounting to less than $2.50, add 25¢ 
extra for postage and packing. 
On orders from $3.00 to $5.00 you may select 5% extra in bulbs of 
your own choosing... From $5.00 to $25.00 select 10%, and over $25.00 
select 20%. This discount does not apply to wholesale orders or collections. 
If you prefer to leave the selection of extras to us we will do our best to 
please you. 
To avoid disappointment send your orders in as early as possible. Let 
us know if we may substitute a variety of equal value if we should be sold 
out of any variety. Bulbs will be shipped in April in plenty of time for 
planting, unless otherwise requested. . 
All bulbs in our list are large size (1% inches and up). AII stock is 
certified by the State of Maine Department of Agriculture to be apparently 
free from injurious insects and diseases.
