ON ORDER FORM write or type clearly 
and completely, mail as early as possible, 
preferably with payment in full. 
PUT DOWN AN ENTRY from catalog 
in each of the columns on order blank for 
each variety. (It helps us if you separate 
retail items from quantity items.) 
GIVE US A LIST OF EXTRAS to select 
from and we'll follow your wishes as closely 
~ as possible. 
OUR POLICY ON EXTRAS AND 
COUNT: We give full count on bulbs 
and bulblets, and to be absolutely sure 
we add a few more on larger quantities. 
In addition, we put in SOME EXTRAS 
on every retail bulb order. But when 
we have to ship C.O.D. it costs us money 
to make out tags, etc., so you get most 
extras on orders fully PAID IN AD- 
VANCE. On retail orders for bulbs or 
bulblets only, if fully paid with order, 
you get extras as follows: Order up to $5 
and you get 10% extra in bulbs or bulblets 
from listings of general varieties on pages 
19 to 41. Order of $5.01 to $25.00 gets 
15% extra, and over $25.00 you get 20% 
extra. (Large or early order may bring 
you an extra extra of our choice). 
PAYMENT: Orders fully paid in advance 
save us time and expense and so earn most 
extras for you. But we'll ship retail orders 
C.O.D. if you wish, provided you send 
deposit of at least $1 with order or 25% on 
orders of $4.00 or more. Of course you also 
pay C.O.D. fee to postman on delivery, 
plus balance due on order. You save 
C.O.D. costs by paying in advance. 
MINIMUM ORDER: We appreciate your 
courtesy in sending orders totaling $2.50 or 
more, because smaller orders cost so much 
to handle they eat up all the profit. It also 
helps very much if no single entry for a 
variety is less than 25c except in a few 
cases where priced lower. We cannot 
handle 10 or 15 cent items to advantage. 
SHIPPING CHARGES: Items ordered 
at RETAIL from pages 11 to 51 are 
shipped at our expense anywhere in U.S. 
or Canada. Items ordered at quantity 
prices on pages 52 to 56 are shipped at 
YOUR expense. If order has both retail 
and quantity items, we ship at your ex- 
pense but put in extras to make up for 
postage we don’t have to pay (but if you 
prefer we can ship retail separate from 
quantity). 
HOW TO SHIP: On fair-sized orders 
express is safest, especially in cold weather. 
If order is frozen, express company is 
liable. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ORDERS: 
We acknowledge each order by card or 
invoice, promptly with an order number. 
KEEP it for future reference, and if you 
need to write us PLEASE BE SURE to 
give order number. 
AIR MAIL: From a distance air mail 
may save you several days in getting bulbs. 
But don’t send special delivery; we get 
regular mail faster. 
ORDER EARLY: Though we have per- 
haps the largest assortment of glads 
anywhere in the world, we always sell out 
on some varieties. To be sure of getting 
your favorites, order as soon as possible. 
Some varieties in this catalog may never 
be listed again by us or anyone. Bulbs can 
be ordered any time after my catalogs 
come out, and if you don’t want the bulbs 
at the time of ordering we can ship at 
any time you say during the Winter or 
Spring. For southern growers we hold 
some till August or September but don’t 
have a large storage space for late storage 
and it is not cold enough to hold later than 
October. 
FLORIDA CUSTOMERS and OTHERS 
in the FAR SOUTH: No northern grown 
bulbs are ready to plant till January. We 
begin to ship in December, tho some varie- 
ties are not ready then. If you want bulbs 
to plant in October to December order in 
the Spring and we can hold them till Fall 
in our store refrigerator. Or a regular cold 
storage would be better.
