TERMS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Prices in this catalog cancel all former prices. They are for one bulb unless otherwise 
stated. 12 bulbs are sold for price of 10 or 6 for price of 5. 100 bulbs for price of 70 
unless noted. Books, garden supplies and plants take no quantity discounts. California 
customers must add 3% Sales Tax. 
Remit in advance, in full, by check or M.O. No C.O.D. No charge accounts 
carried. Nothing reserved unless paid for in full. These terms reduce our expenses and 
lower the costs to you. Checks and M.O.’s must be payable to Cecil Houdyshel to fit 
our endorsement stamp. Stamps at face value accepted for small sums only. 
Postage. Rates this season have been up 50%. There will be other large increases 
later. Yet, we have not increased prices except on items we buy for resale. In fact, 
this catalog lowers some prices, in the hope for a greater volume of sales. We prepay 
postage on orders of $1.00 or over unless otherwise noted. On orders under $1.00, send 
15c extra. If you wish to send a little extra for the increased cost of postage, it will not 
be refused. For seed orders, send a self addressed, stamped envelope please. If wanted by 
express we include either larger sizes or extras. If by air mail we charge the customer 
only the excess cost above that required by regular parcel post. 
Insurance up to $5.00, costs 5c extra. $5.00 to $10.00, 10c. $10.00 to $25.00, 15c. 
Over $25.00, cost is in proportion to $25.00 value rate. Postal insurance covers all except 
freezing in transit. Only Express covers freezing. Special Handling costs 15c up to 2 lbs. 
2 to 10 lbs., 20c. Special Delivery is better as it also speeds delivery and is handled more 
carefully. We are not responsible if plants are not immediately taken indoors. Up to 2 lbs. 
costs 35c. 2 to 10 lbs., 45c. Over 10 lbs., 60c. 
Each fee, Insurance to Special Delivery is for one package only. 
Order blanks. Make your own. They should not be in letter form as this makes it 
difficult for packers. Place one item only in a line, in this order: 1. Quantity ordered. 
2. Name of item but not description. 3. (In column on right) price of item. Below add 
other extra expenses like sales tax, insurance, Special Delivery, etc. 
A letter that requires an answer, when included with order, is referred to me and 
will likely cause delay of delivery. I am often a month behind with correspondence. 
Wholesale. We give no discounts to dealers. There are several items we can supply 
wholesale. Send your want list and we will quote our best quantity prices. 
Foreign Orders. If postage exceeds that to our 8th postal zone we charge the excess. 
Include a little extra for excess postage. Canadians should apply to Sec. of Destructive 
Insect and Pest Act, Advisory Board, Ottawa, Ontario, for Permit and labels and send 
with order. Many Latin American countries have laws governing importations. Be sure 
to inform yourself and act accordingly. Ask your Postmaster. Usually only a permit is 
needed. 
Partial Shipments are made if bulbs are not all dormant at same time. We deliver 
everything within the season for correct planting. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be true to name and healthy and replace them if not. 
If you follow our directions in this catalog, they will grow and flower. We cannot assume 
responsibility if you do not. Such a guarantee usually means that the expense of replace- 
ments is spread over the entire sales and everyone pays more for the plants. Everyone 
fails sometimes and we try to learn from our failures. As necessary culture directions are 
in this catalog, we send none with bulbs and other plants. 
Catalog. Spring Catalog mailed Jan. 15. Fall Catalog, Aug. 15, or soon after. If you 
do not send us your orders your name is dropped from our mailing list. If not interested 
please refuse catalog or ask P.M. to return at our expense. Current catalogs are free. If 
an old catalog is wanted, please send a dime for it. In order to keep our catalogs coming, 
you must send orders as we drop names every year if you have not sent us orders. 
We appreciate it if you show our catalog to your friends and recommend that they 
send a post card request for a copy. 
We ship to every state and territory and to every continent. Calif. bulbs and plants 
do well, everywhere.
