“Small”, “medium” or a single photograph may mean different things to different people. Specific questions make a size enquiry easier to compare and confirm.

Before comparing options, ask which measurement or classification is being used, the unit and whether the description covers a range. Do not convert between grading systems without the information needed to do so.
If you have a photograph or specification from a previous purchase, use it to explain your request. The supplier still needs to confirm whether the proposed product matches that reference.
Ask for a clear image with an appropriate size reference when size needs to be checked visually. Camera angle, perspective and magnification can change the impression of scale. Website illustrations should not be treated as confirmation of delivered size.
Keep the response alongside the quotation or written confirmation. If the size description changes during the conversation, resolve the difference before confirming a purchase.
Include the size you are looking for, the grading language you currently use, estimated quantity and unit, delivery area and date range. If size is still undecided, state your grow-out purpose and ask to discuss it. You do not need to select an arbitrary size just to complete an enquiry.
