My files contain a great number of fine letters commenting on the quality of my 
bulbs. 
BULB SIZE —[ arge size bulbs 114” and up. Medium size 34” up to 14”. Small 
size 14” up to 34”. These measurements being by diameter and not to be confused 
with circumference measurements. Orders are filled and set aside as fast as 
received using the largest bulbs available in the respective sizes when order is 
received. 
BULBLETS — By purchase of bulblets your new additions are purchased at the 
lowest possible cost. You can purchase varieties which you otherwise might con- 
sider too expensive and you will be surprised how quickly a few bulblets will get 
you started. By the purchase of bulblets you should not expect too many blooms 
the first year but many times you are happily surprised. Neither are you going to 
get the size spike you will get from the larger bulb the next year. Even though I 
have just suggested the purchase of bulblets, I feel that I should also give a word 
of caution. If handled properly some varieties will germinate almost 100 per cent, 
while other varieties will germinate a much smaller percentage and therefore it is 
not possible for me to make any guarantee whatsoever as to germination or growth. 
And furthermore not all varieties produce large bulblets and neither is it necessary 
to have large bulblets to get good germination, but they should be good, plump, 
mature ones. I will always send good mature ones and the largest available. In 
my opinion, to get best results they should be pealed or cracked before planting 
and then planted right away before they become dry or hard. | also believe that 
better germination is obtained if not planted until the ground becomes warm 
enough to induce prompt germination. I have a reputation for sending out highest 
quality bulblets. 
GUARANTEE — It is my intention to send out only good, clean, healthy bulbs and 
bulblets and true to name. | make no guarantee as to growth and will in no way 
be responsible for the crop. If upon receipt of bulbs, you find them unsatisfactory, 
return at my expense and I will cheerfully refund the full purchase price. And 
furthermore if you later find any not true to name, I am ready to replace, refund, 
or make adjustment. 
INSPECTION — My gelads have been inspected by the New York State Department 
of Agriculture and Markets and are shipped under its certificate of inspection. 
No. 1852. 
SERVICE — Whether your order is large or small, it will have prompt attention. 
It will be attended to by me personally. If you do not get prompt acknowledgment, 
please notify me at once for either your order or my acknowledgment has yone 
astray. And I always send a card when I make the shipment so that you may know 
it is on the way and so be looking for it. You will find my service is unsurpassed 
by any shipper. 
GIFT CERTIFICATES — Don't forget to take advantage of one of my gift certifi- 
cates. They are just as appropriate for a birthday gift or for any other time as 
they are for Christmas. 
WHOLESALE — Due to my greatly increased sales during the past several years 
and because of the great number of varieties which I grow and that I limit my 
plantings and supply to what I can do myself without help except from Mrs. 
Rogers, I have practically nothing to offer in the way of wholesale this year. 
Consequently | have no wholesale list. If you are interested in larger quantities 
than are listed, and not so large but that I can supply them, you will find that 
these prices with my customary overcount, if you prefer it in place of other extras 
and which is based on a larger percentage for larger orders, will compare quite
