We recommend to our customers to have their Plants, Roow, and Bulbs for-

 most satisfactory, except on small packages.

 severely cold weather. 



Plants by Railroad Freight — Shrubs, Hedge Plants, and other dormant stock 

 can be forwarded by fast freight even to distant points. 



Canadian Shipments 



Flower Seeds are sent "Prepaid." The complicated regulations concerning the 

 importation of Vegetable Seeds from the United States into Canada force us, 

 much to our regret, to decline all orders of Vegetable Seeds to be sent into Canada.

 all transportation charges as well as customs duties. Patrons who wish to pur- 

 chase Plants or Bulbs must first secure a permit from the Department of Agri-
