GIST CERTIFICATES — Don't forget'to take advantage of ‘one of my gift certifi- 
Catesue Ley are Just as appropriate for a birthday gift or for any other time as 
they are for Christmas. 
WHOLESALE — [Due to my greatly increased retail sales the last two years and 
because I limit my plantings and supply to what I can do myself without help 
except from Mrs. Rogers, | will probably have very little to offer in the way of 
wholesale this year. The only varieties that I could list as being available at 
wholesale are Snow Princess and Surfside and these can be offered in lots up to 1000 
each. Consequently I have no wholesale list. If you are interested in wholesale 
lots of any variety, use the handy form in catalog opposite the order blank and 
let me know just what varieties, and in what quanties you are interested and | 
will gladly reply as to whether I can supply them, and if so will quote price. 
ORDER EARLY —On account of my limited supply in some varieties you should 
not delay in placing you order. Even though | have a good stock of a variety this 
also might be sold out early, for like the operation of a store where it often happens 
that many customers want the same item all at once with the result that the cur- 
rent stock is soon exhausted. In the store a new supply can usually be had soon 
but it is not so with my supply of bulbs for | do not buy for resale and so must 
wait for next year’s crop to replenish. Orders will be filled and set aside as fast 
as received. If you are not sure of all you want at one time, send your order for 
what you do know you want early and add to it later. 
SPECIAL DELIVERY AND AIR MAIL — A special delivery letter will not reach me 
any sooner, and possibly not as soon, as a regular letter but from a distance an 
air-mail letter will get here much quicker. 
OPEN UP YOUR SHIPMENT — [mmediately upon receipt of your bulbs, unpack 
and open each bag to let the air in, for they need the air at all times. If damp 
on arrival allow to dry off and then quickly put in storage, unless it 1s time for 
planting. Ideal storage temperature about 40°, but when that is not available, 
make it as cool a place as possible, usually just off cellar bottom in the coldest part 
of your cellar, as | would not store directly on cellar bottom, because of possible 
dampness. By all means do not let them freeze. 
SPECIAL ATTENTION — Please note that varieties in this catalog are listed in 
three separate sections: MINIATURE and SMALL FLOWERING VARIETIES, 
SMOKIES, and LARGE and MEDIUM FLOWERING VARIETIES. 
ASK FOR PRICES ON BULBLETS WHERE MARKED * 
In some varieties bulblets are available as per quantity and prices listed, 
in some varieties there are none available, and in others | have a limited amount 
but not enough to warrant their being listed. The varieties in this last class are 
marked * and should you be interested in bulblets of these, use the handy form 
in catalog opposite the order sheet to make your inquiry and I will promptly 
reply as to whether any are still available and if so, quote the price.
