PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
SPECIAL ATTENTION — PLEASE — Be sure you read the following before 
making out your order. And to be sure not to order something, either variety 
or size, not even listed in the catalog and then give no authorization for substitu- 
tion. Also the payment toward postage on small orders as required means just 
that. If you do not make the payment, some item in your order will have to be 
omitted to offset it. 
TERMS, PRICES AND SHIPMENT — On all orders for $5.00, or less, cash with 
order — over $5.00, 25% cash with order and balance before shipment. Unless 
full cash or at least 25% deposit accompanies order, or request to be reserved, 
the order cannot be booked. 
Orders will be accepted for any amount, but due to greatly increased parcel 
post rates, especially to points outside of the United States, I find it necessary to 
ask that you include in your payments amounts as follows, to help toward paying 
the postage on small orders—25 cents on orders under $5.00 within the United 
States and 50 cents on orders under $10.00 from Canada or other foreign countries. 
On orders for $5.00 or more within the United States or $10.00 or more from other 
countries, transportation will be paid by me when weather will permit shipment by 
parcel post safe from freezing. Parcel post shipments cannot be made safely until 
spring, but if shipment is desired before then, I will ship by express any time you 
wish, charges collect and include additional extras to help in paying such charges. 
Express shipments are guaranteed against damage from freezing, provided you 
notify your local agent immediately as to the damage; but parcel post cannot be 
insured against such loss. As is the custom of all shippers, extras will be included 
in all orders when cash in full accompanies the order. These extras, or overcount 
if you prefer, are based on the size of your order and the larger the order, the 
larger the percentage. If you have ordered from me before, you know about my 
generosity and if you are to place your first order, you will soon be convinced. 
I cannot accept orders for less than the smallest unit quoted. For instance, 
where 2 for 30, one cannot be had for 15. Five bulbs can be had at the 10 rate and 
50 bulblets at the 100 rate only when the price is $1.00 or more per 100. Unless 
price is listed per 10, the per 10 rate does not apply, but only the rate that is 
listed no matter how many ordered. 
SUBSTITUTION —A]] stock offered.subject to prior sale. I will not substitute erther 
size or variety without you so direct and will refund immediately on any item I 
cannot supply. If you wish substitution, please be sure to indicate your desire by 
using spaces on order blank for that purpose. If you should check substitution for 
both “‘nearest size” and “similar color,” I will always substitute the size first, if still 
available. If you care to make a second choice when sending your order, instead 
of leaving selection to me, it would be greatly appreciated. By following these 
suggestions it might save correspondence and also give you a better substitution 
than could be made after exchange of letters, during which time the best substitute 
might have been sold out. I will always make substitutions and ask for your 
approval before final entry of your order. | ) 
As I am a small grower and will not buy bulbs for resale, but sell only those 
bulbs that I have grown in my own garden (with the exception of new introduc- 
tions listed as coming from others) my supply is limited and in some varities 
and items very limited. As will be noted, in some varieties my stock is so small 
that I must limit sales to one or two bulbs to a customer. Probably I should not 
offer these at all, but I know they are something many of you would like to get 
as soon as possible. So in order that you may benefit, I will sell a few although
