C were Mie Se BN. DISPATCH-DEMOCRAT PRINT, UKIAH; CAL. REMARKS. I make a specialty of Californian bulbs, growing largely, and through collectors reaching all parts of the Pacific Coast of the United States. QUALITY—The bulbs offered are above medium grade, even in size, and with no small or imperfect ones. Extras to cover all deficiencies are always sent. In the selection and packing of bulbs the greatest of care is taken. GUARANTEES—I guarantee that all bulbs shall reach pur- chaser in first-class condition, and will make good any loss in transit whether from breakage of package or decay. &@8"Claims for damages must be made within five days after receipt of goods, and will be al- lowed either by replacing the bulbs or by deducting the price from bill, at my option. GROWN IN CULTIVATION—The largest part of my orders will be filled from bulbs of my own growing; these are larger, solider, and better ripened than collected bulbs. §@8°The collected bulbs used will be first-class. DATE OF SHIPMENT. Unless otherwise ordered bulbs will be shipped as ready. The usual date of shipment follows the price of each species in price list. If de- sired I will hold back bulbs and make a single shipment at any desired date. It usually takes seven days for bulbs to reach any point in the Eastern United States by express and about twenty days by expressto European points. By post it takes five or six days to Eastern points and twelve to fifteen days to Europe. The freight service from San Francisco to New York is very slow. During 1899 it usually took thirty days and is seldom less than twenty five. From New York to London or Haarlem usually takes eight to twelve days by freight. CARRIAGE. I deliver all bulbs within the United States free except Liliums, which are fo b Ukiah. I ship all by post or express at my own option ex- cepting Lilium Humboldti, L Washingtonianum, L Pardalinum and Camassia Cusickti. Should customers desire these shipped by post or express they must pay the extra cost. On foreign orders I pay carriage to New York. tas When goods, except Lilies above excepted, are sent Charges Collect, customers will take credit on account for charges as per above terms. SUPPLIES. My stock of Californian bulbs is about 500,000. I seldom fail to fill an order. LARGE LOTS. Special prices on large lots of any sort. TERMS. Five month credit with 5 per cent discount for Cash and interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum on deferred payments. THE BEST SPECIES. During the last fourteen years I have been growing the bulbs of the Western United States in large numbers and have had nearly all of the known species in my garden and often many forms of the same thing- In my tests I have grown each sort in many soils and exposures and have had an excellent opportunity, both through my own experiments and from the reports received from the Eastern United States and Europe, to judge of the comparative merits of the different varieties. Research is developing wonderful variations in all of these plants, and with so many beautiful colors to choose from, the time has COWS, ie seems to me, to begin the elimination of weak or poor forms, and the selection and dissemination of only the best ones. From a gardener’s standpoint the plants which with beauty have the best qualities as growers, are the ones to be retained. To this end I mark in my list the best species in each section without any consideration of price. I do not mean by this list that the other species have no merits, but my recommendation is that in ordering, the trade take this preferred list first. And of this preferred list my choice would follow the numerical order. I shall in the future as in the past spare no pains to secure not only new species, but will also grow lots of old species from many localities for experimental tests, that I may be able to find which have the greatest vitality and best growing qualities. It was in my garden that the vigor of Calochortus Vesta was discovered, a species which compared to the next best is in vigor three to one, and is one of the most beautiful as well. All of my recommendations are based on actual wide experience through a term of years. 8° Descriptive List will be printed in early Spring. The numbers in first column refer to descriptive list. The very best varieties in each section are set in black type. Supply of articles marked with * is uncertain. BRODIAEA. SECTION I.
