DELIVERY: Eulb 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 germination. 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. 
FREE BULB FOR POSTAGE 
Would you like to receive a bulb or two of a valuable new variety by paying 
the postage on your order? With your order of $5.00 or more, if you will include 
enough extra for postage, or will agree (by checking the place provided on the 
order blank) to refund to us the amount of postage shown on your package when 
you receive it, we will include in your order a new 1954 or 1955 introduction valued 
at least 3 or 4 times the postage cost. Stamps accepted for refund, although well- 
wrapped coins are preferred.
