10 price. Where bulblets are priced 10—$1.00 or higher, 5 will be sold for half 
the 10 price. 
DELIVERY: Bulb shipments usually begin the middle or latter part of 
March, as soon as safe from danger of freezing. West coast and Southern 
orders can be sent sooner if desired. If you do not need your bulbs until late 
April or early May, we will appreciate your letting us know. A great many of 
our customers request shipment about April 1, which makes quite a rush at 
that time. Most orders are sent by parcel post. Please examine your order 
carefully upon receipt, and let us know promptly if not received in good 
condition. 
GUARANTEE: Our stock is guaranteed to be free from insects and 
disease, and to be true to name. Each order must be entirely satisfactory to 
you upon receipt, or your money back. Due to varying conditions of soil 
and culture, we cannot, of course, guarantee bulb growth or bulblet germina- 
tion. Nor in case of error can we be responsible for any amount larger than 
that actually paid for stock purchased. All stock offered subject to crop and 
prior sale. All varieties and prices in this catalog supersede those of all 
previous catalogs and price lists issued by us. 
SIZES: Bulb sizes offered are L (Large) sizes 1 and 2 assorted; M 
(Medium) sizes 3 and 4 assorted; S (Small) sizes 5 and 6 assorted. Subject 
to supply, and particularly on early orders, we always put in as many No. 
1’s, 3’s, and 5’s as possible for L, M, and S, respectively. Large and Medium 
bulbs are preferred for maximum bloom. Small bulbs for growing on to large 
size for the following year. Buying bulblets is a cheap way to get started 
with a new variety, and many of them should grow into a number 4 or larger 
bulb for the next year. However, bulblets of some varieties are hard to sprout. 
Peeling off the hard outer shell will help bulblet germination; be careful not 
to injure the tender flesh inside. Bulblets, whether peeled or unpeeled, will 
appreciate extra moisture, especially in the early stages of growth.
