IMPORTANT NOTICE 



Owing to the very great Increase In price of all materials used in packing of planta, we 

 find it necessary to make a small charge for aame, as follows, much lower than the per- 

 centage plan: 



Full size cases $2.00 each; Three-quarter alze cases $1.60 each 



Small size cases $0.50 each 



Would suggest taking planta in paper pota whenever possible. It Is a saving in both 

 pocking «nd expresK charges.
