NOTE! Please read -- 
All special collections in this catalog are offered for the 1954 season ONLY 
and can not be supplied affer the end of the shipping season. These unusual 
values are only possible due to the considerable savings in packing and han- 
dling. We pack them on a sort of production line basis. Only by this method is 
it possible to offer such exceptional savings. For this reason we can make no 
changes in the collections. Once in a great while, due to crop failure, it is impos- 
sible to supply some particular variety offered in a collection. This happens but 
rarely and in such a case we substitute another variety of equal or greater value 
and of comparable type and attractiveness. In such cases which only occur 
rarely, we can not write letters about the change as at that time we are working 
under such terrific pressure filling thousands of orders and getting them out in 
such a limited time. All collections are sold with this understanding. As above 
stated this seldom happens as every item in each collection is carefully checked 
for anticipated supply, and only should the crop fail or some particular variety 
produce unsatisfactory bulbs, is any substitution necessary. Only twice in the 
past eight years has this happened and only with two varieties due to abnormal 
climatic conditions.
