Read  Carefully  ‘Before  Ordering 

The  blooming  quality  of  our  bulbs  was  again  demonstrated  at  the  Minnesota  State  Fair  in  1928 
when  we  received  the  first  prize  on  our  collection  and  17  first  prizes  in  color  classes,  etc.  This  is 
twice  as  many  first  prizes  as  were  received  by  any  other  exhibitor,  with  only  4  seconds,  and  no  third 
prizes.  And  all  in  keener  competition  than  ever  before. 

Terms:  No  orders  accepted  for  less  than  $3.00.  Cash  in  full  with  all  orders  for  less  than  $5.00. 
A  deposit  of  25%  will  hold  larger  orders  till  April  1st.  These  will  be  shipped  C.  0.  D.  for  the  balance. 

5%  Discount  for  all  cash  with  orders. 

All  Orders  for  $5.00  and  up  fully  paid  in  advance  will  be  shipped  prepaid  to  any  part  of  the  U.  S.  A. 
On  orders  to  Canada  and  other  foreign  countries  add  10%  to  pay  for  extra  postage  and  extra  time  in 
complying  with  present  regulations.  5  at  10  rate,  25  at  100  rate,  250  at  1000  rate.  No  one  item  for 
less  than  25c. 

Health  Certificates  furnished  with  each  shipment  to  any  country  where  required. 

We  Guarantee  our  bulbs  to  be  free  from  disease,  true  to  name,  and  up  to  size.  Any  bulbs  or  bulb 
proving  otherwise  will  be  gladly  replaced  or  full  purchase  price  refunded.  We  cannot  guarantee  the  re¬ 
sults  of  crops  over  which  we  have  no  control. 

Our  bulblets  are  all  hand-cleaned  and  counted.  We  don’t  send  out  a  lot  of  rubbish,  hence  must 
charge  at  least  for  the  labor  cost. 

We  Can’t  Undersell  everybody  and  continue  in  business — it  can’t  be  done — but  will  fill  all  orders 
efficiently  and  liberally  as  we  have  always  done.  We  want  only  satisfied  customers. 

All  offers  made  subject  to  prior  sale  or  any  contingency  over  which  we  have  no  control.  Your 
money  will  be  promptly  refunded  for  any  item  we  are  unable  to  furnish.

Auburn,  Me.,  Feb.  9,  1928 

Mr.  A.  J.  Anderson, 

White  Bear  Lake,  Minn. 

Dear  Sir! 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  my  bulbs  and  also 
wish  to  assure  you  of  my  appreciation  of  the  manner  in  which  you 
filled  my  order. 

I  have  ordered  bulbs  of  seven  of  the  leading  dealers  in 
gladiolus  bulbs  and  none  of  them  handled  my  order  as  satisfactor¬ 
ily  as  you  did.  You  sent  beautiful  bulbs,  packed  them  in  A-l 
manner  and  above  all  you  were  very  generous  with  your  extras, 
which  in  my  opinion  appeals  to  the  amateur  like  myself. 

I  also  thank  you  for  forwarding  them  via  express,  they 
arrived  in  fine  condition.  I  was  so  pleased  with  your  service 
that  I  am  enclosing  another  small  order  which  I  trust  you  will 
give  your  careful  attention.  Next  year  I  will  try  and  give  you 
a  worth  while  order  and  will  recommend  you  to  all  my  friends  who 
may  want  bulbs . 

Respectfully  yours, 

W.  E.  D. 


The  above  is  just  a  specimen  of  the  hundreds  of  letters  ive  have  in  our  files  from 
satisfied  customers,  but  space  tvill  allow  us  to  print  no  more  of  them  here. 


We  pay  transportation  on  all  paid-up  orders  for  $5.00  or  more,

Mr.  A.  J.  Anderson, 

White  Bear  Lake,  Minn. 


Auburn,  Me.,  Feb.  9,  1928 


Dear  Sir: 

I  wish  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  my  bulbs  and  also 
wish  to  assure  you  of  my  appreciation  of  the  manner  in  which  you 
filled  my  order. 

I  have  ordered  bulbs  of  seven  of  the  leading  dealers  in 
gladiolus  bulbs  and  none  of  them  handled  my  order  as  satisfactor¬ 
ily  as  you  did.  You  sent  beautiful  bulbs,  packed  them  in  A-l 
manner  and  above  all  you  were  very  generous  with  your  extras, 
which  in  my  opinion  appeals  to  the  amateur  like  myself. 

I  also  thank  you  for  forwarding  them  via  express,  they 
arrived  in  fine  condition.  I  was  so  pleased  with  your  service 
that  I  am  enclosing  another  small  order  which  I  trust  you  will 
give  your  careful  attention.  Next  year  I  will  try  and  give  you 
a  worth  while  order  and  will  recommend  you  to  all  my  friends  who 
may  want  bulbs. 

Respectfully  yours, 

W.  E.  D. 


The  above  is  just  a  specimen  of  the  hundreds  of  letters  we  have  in  our  files  from 
satisfied  customers,  but  space  will  allow  us  to  print  no  more  of  them  here. 


We  pay  transportation  on  all  paid-up  orders  for  $5.00  or  more.
