extras but the special discount of extra bulbs is for cash 
orders only. If you do not have room on the front of the 
order blank to list your extra bulbs, please use the reverse 
side. 
BUSINESS TERMS. Remittance must be included with 
an order from the retail list if the amount is less than $5.00. 
Larger c.o.d. orders must be accompanied by 259% of their 
value. However, to get your special discount of extra bulbs 
payment in full must be made before shipment. It is our 
intention to send out only healthy bulbs, true to name, and 
we will gladly refund the purchase price if the bulbs are 
found unsatisfactory upon receipt. We cannot, however, 
guarantee results as planting conditions are beyond our con- 
trol. (Note: 5 bulbs will be sold at one-half the price of 
10.) Stock is state inspected both in the field and in storage. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ORDERS. Every order is 
written as received and an invoice sent as soon as possible 
after receiving the order. This invoice should be kept for 
reference as it is the only one we send out except the copy 
which goes with the order. When corresponding about a 
previous order please give the order number that is listed on 
the invoice. 
Small orders are usually sent by mail at our risk. Larger 
orders are shipped by express fully insured, thereafter our 
responsibility ceases. Customer should file an immediate 
claim with the forwarding agent if the package is received 
in a damaged condition. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. The latest NAGC cultural 
leaflet will be sent with each order.

F.O.B. ITEMS. If your order contains both f.o.b. and retail 
items, we will ship them together in one package f.o.b. but 
will give enough overcount and extras to more than offset 
the carrying charges on the retail items. If the order is a 
large one and you want the 2 classes shipped separately, be 
sure to mark the order blank accordingly. 
ORDER EARLY. To be sure of getting the varieties you 
lave planned on, send your orders as soon as possible. 
Orders for large bulbs will be filled with No. 1 size as long 
as they last. Medium bulbs will be No. 3 size as long as 
they last and small bulbs will be No. 5 as long as they last. 
Early orders will get preference on the size. 
BULB SIZES. In the retail list L means large size which 
is No. 1 and No. 2 bulbs (114 inch and up); M means 
medium size which is No. 3 and No. 4 bulbs (34 to 114 
inch); S means small size which is No. 5 and No. 6 bulbs 
(1% inch to 34 inch). 
BULBLETS. Bulblets of some varieties are hard to germi-

more than a few days in advance of planting or they will 
lose moisture and become dry and hard. After planting, 
whether peeled or not, if they are kept well watered the 
per cent that will germinate and grow will be much larger. 
When giving peeled bulblets a pre-planting dip they should 
only be dipped long enough for the solution to coat them. 
When growing new introductions, planting bulblets is a 
cheaper way to get a start, however, we cannot guarantee 
their germination. Usually a big per cent of most varieties 
will germinate and grow but it pays to give the bulblets a 
little extra attention. When bulblets are ordered we will 
always select the largest ones available.
