L < I ★ JAN' Qladiolus, Tulips and O Bulbs and Cut Flowrers in Season Space is limited this year, therefore descriptions may seem rather meager, but those of you who have seen my fields in bloom know that I don’t have any that are not worth growing, and that I have many of the very best new ones. Late originations will be marked with a star. The bulbs will be designated as follows: L. for large, M. for medium and S. for small. Large and Medium bulbs are always blooming size, and many of the small ones will bloom. I have marked the price so low this year I presume some will jump to the conclusion that my bulbs must be inferior. However, the fact is that my bulbs are as good as you can buy regardless of price, and are guaranteed to be satisfactory. That means you can return the bulbs after you examine, and get your money back if not satisfactory. It does not mean that I am responsible for any failures due to season conditions or insects. The bulbs I send are disease free and have positively not been forced. They also meet all State requirements. All orders of $1.00 or over will be prepaid in U. S. A. I am giving no discounts on these prices. Just the same, I always try to give all customers a pleasant surprise in the extra bulbs I include. We, of course, can give wholesale quotations on large lots. Please send list of just what you want for estimates. GLADIOLUS ECHO HEIGHTS FARM F. O. Chamberlin, Prop. JORDAN, N. y. U. S.
