EVANGELINE 
A FREE GIFT FOR YOU 
Many of our customers are delighted with the extras in the 
form of over-count and newer kinds that we include for trial; 
and if you send us the names and addresses of friends that 
grow 500 or more Glads —— well, we just try to outdo our- 
selves in giving extras. 
SHIPMENT 
Ali orders are sold with the understanding that the shipping 
charges will be paid by the customer. That means F.O.B. 
Portland, Oregon, except pool car shipments which are pre- _ 
paid to Chicago, [Il., or Trenton, N.J. 
A service charge of 35 cents will be charged on all or- 
ders of less than $3.00, as they cannot be filled and shipped 
at a profit. 
Orders of $10.00 or more may be sent any time in U.S.A. 
via Railway Express. Those held for Spring delivery will be 
shipped as weather permits. Local and Pacific Coast orders 
may be shipped at any time. 
We advise Railway Express shipment rather than freight 
as congested conditions sometimes cause long delays. Auto 
freight has proven very satisfactory for Pacific Coast and 
Texas orders of 100 lbs. or more. 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS 
Parcel Post is not insured against freezing, so should you 
wish your order sent in this manner (much cheaper than ex- 
press on orders of 12 lbs. or less) you had better let us

keep it until danger of freezing is past ——usually March 
15th. Please add 10% to your order if prepaid parcel post is 
desired, otherwise the C.0.D. charges will be included. 
You will be notified of extra cost should there be a balance. 
Hand Planted and Harvested 
We exercise the greatest care to see that only first quality 
stock is shipped out; but in keeping with trade customs, 
we cannot guarantee the growth or productiveness of the 
ouibs due to the varying svil and climatic conditions: 
Our 25 acres of Gladiolus are hand planted, hand har- 
vested, hand cleaned and counted. They are not mutilated 
and bruised by machinery. This is you assurance of first 
quality bulbs. 
Prompt ordering is advisable, as there seems to be a 
strong demand for the many real good cut-flower varieties 
that are listedhere in our catalog at such reasonable prices. 
A WORD TO THE WISE 
As we all know, shipping costs have risen greatly in the 
past few years. Just recently Parcel Post took another 
sharp jump, so that now it is becoming impractical to ship 
#1 and Jumbo bulbs past the 5th zone. We would suggest to 
our customers, that they order #2 or #3 and even #4 bulbs 
then give them plenty of room at planting time, and you will 
be amazed at the fine results these medium sized bulbs will 
give. Just for an example: #3 bulbs weigh less than one- 
half as much as #1’s including packaging.
