THIS LIST cancels all previous lists. Please preserve it for future reference. Regard- 
ing the WILD SPECIES, we may not always have enough to list, but can usually 
share what we have with fellow hybridists. You can always ask. 
TERMS OF SALE—Cash with order, please. No orders accepted for less than $3.00. 
California Customers: Please add state sales tax. 
ALL ORDERS are put up by myself and are the equal of any. 
FOREIGN ORDERS must have necessary permits, tags, etc., and go at your expense. 
We Pay Postage in U.S. and Canada. NO SUBSTITUTION without permission, but 
if you mention it in your order it may prevent delay in UNNECESSARY correspond- 
ence, and we can often send something better than those ordered. We may substitute 
sizes, however. You could also mention a second choice. 
PLEASE ORDER EARLY—as our selling season is short. NO SMALL SIZES OR 
CORMELS after April first, as we start planting then.
