From among the sixteen excellent color reproductions that illustrate our “New 
Book of Lilies” we have selected the six most outstanding and have had them 
laminated in plastic to give them enhanced beauty and permanence. Size of these 
plastic plates is eight by six and a half inches. They are an invaluable help in 
selling lilies and make an attractive decoration for your store or office. 
Our supply is limited as we could only obtain a hundred or so reprints of each 
subject. The set consists of the following and costs $3.00, prepaid. 
Parade Olympic Hybrid, 
Shuksan single flower 
Fireflame Olympic Hybrids, stalk 
Fiesta Hybrids 
From the illustrations used in our 1953 lily folder we have had thirteen subjects 
engraved. Electros are available at cost price and will be shipped from San Fran- 
cisco. The subjects shown in our 1955 folder, of which a copy is enclosed with this 
catalog, also can be engraved. We shall be glad to obtain prices and assist you in 
ordering electros from these new plates. Obviously, the job can only be done 
economically if we have plenty of time and have a sufficient number of orders. 
All weights are approximate and not guaranteed as they vary with the moisture 
content of the bulbs and the packing material.

The specific weight of the various daffodil varieties and types differs a great deal 
and it is almost impossible to give the exact shipping weight for each. 
King Alfred jumbo size weighs in excess of 200 pounds per crate of 500 bulbs. The 
DN 1 size weighs between 180 and 200 pounds per 500 bulbs, while DN 2 size 
weighs around 150 pounds per 500 bulbs. On most other varieties we pack the 
large DN 1 size in tray-crates of 250 bulbs per crate and their weight, so packed, 
will be close to 75 pounds per crate or 300 pounds per 1000 bulbs. Varieties making 
small bulbs we pack 500 per crate and they will average about 200 pounds per 
1000 bulbs. 
Iris bulbs are light and their weight is usually no great factor in figuring shipping 
costs. Wedgwood, 10-11 cM, pack 2000 per crate and weigh about 60 pounds per 
1000 bulbs.
