These are called Medium sized glads. If the first digit is “4”, it means that the 
florets will measure from 4%” thru 5%”, and these are called large size glads. 
If the first digit is “5” it means that the flowers measure from 54%” and larger. 
These are called giant glads. 
As to the second and third digits, they refer to color. Again using Abu Hassan 
as an illustration, we see that the second and third digits are 78. These two 
digits designate the color classification. Look at the chart immediately following 
this explanation, and it will be seen that 78 means Deep Violet. The color of 
every variety listed in this catalogue can be known by reading the color digits. 
Finally, if the third digit is an odd number, the variety thus numbered has 
a conspicuous throat blotch. The even numbered digits indicate varieties with- 
out such markings.

01 White with throat blotch 50 Light red 
06 Cream 52 Deep red

Let us look again at ABU HASSAN. The second number is “77”. This 
number indicates the number of days required for the bulb to come to bloom, 
counting from the date of planting. These numbers cannot be relied upon for 
the reason that soil conditions, weather and temperature, wetness and drought, 
the condition of the bulb, and even cultivation all have a bearing on the time 
required to come to bloom. However, these numbers do provide a comparative 
basis for making selections. 
Please Note These Business Matters 
Before Making Out Your Order 
1. All orders accepted subject to stock and prior sales. 
fee 2: Please take notice — All orders from the Retail and Choice Mixture 
listings will be shipped parcel post prepaid IF ORDER AMOUNTS TO $3.00 OR 
MORE. If it is for a lesser amount please add 25c for postage and packing. 
3. In case it is not convenient to make full remittance with order, I will hold 
your order upon payment of 25% of the amount, with a minimum deposit of $1.00. 
4. Orders will be shipped C.O.D. at customer’s request if they have made 
a deposit as stated above. No C.O.D. shipments unless there is the down pay- 
ment. Sad experience necessitates this request. 
5. No shipment will be made prepaid during the winter or when there is 
the possibility of freezing in transit. The Postal Dept. will not insure against 
freezing. Where shipment is wanted during freezing weather, shipment must 
be by express, which fully insures against freezing, but express charges must 
be borne by the purchaser. 
6. Please do not split any item that lists two or more bulbs. Time and cost 
of putting up orders are too great to accept any items of less than 15 cents. 
7. To those who left orders for bulbs at the Jones County Fair last August: 
Should any of the prices charged you at this Fair be higher than the prices quoted 
in this price list, I will put sufficient extras of such varieties to more than off- 
set the overcharge. If the prices charged you at the Fair are lower than the 
prices herein quoted, I will either fill the order as written, or advise you and 
make cash refunds for such amount as you paid on these under-charged items. 
8. I will refund the purchase price of any order found unsatisfactory upon 
delivery if promptly reported, and returned at my request. No guarantee as to 
growth is given.
