Take Advantage of Our 



DELIVERY 

 OFFER 



on all EXPRESS SHIPMENTS 



LAST year we inaugurated the plan of having all goods quickly and safely debr- 

 ered direct to your door by express by prepaying all express charges, for the 

 small addition of 10 per cent of the total amount of any order. The result 

 wa« overwhelmingly satisfactory, cspecieJly to our patrons, because they knew 

 when ordering the exact cost of the goods, and were not subject to the variable, un- 

 certain and sometimes unreasonable express rates, which frequently characterize 

 shipments that go forward with charges collect. The total amount of money received 

 through this additional 10 per cent chairge was not sufficient to pay the total charges 

 of the year's shipments. Notwithstanding this fact, the increased volume of business 

 and the positive satisfaction that ensued to our patrons amply compensated us for 

 the increased expenditures. 



This year we are taking still art' 

 other stride forzvardin our endeavor 

 to have Din gee patrons the best 

 served, both economically and in- 

 trinsically» in the United States* 



WHAT IT IS 



This is our offer for 191 1, still more lib- 

 eral and the only one of its kind ever made: 



We will prepay ALL express charges 

 to any point in the United States or 

 Canada on orders amounting to $5.00 or 

 more. On all orders of less than $5.00 

 we will prepay the express charges if 10 

 per cent is added to the total amount of 

 the order. For instance, if your order 

 amounts to $5.50 all shipping charges 

 will be prepaid by us without extra charge. 

 If your order amounts to $3.50 add 10 

 per cent, or 35 cents, and the shipment 

 will be sent you with charges prepaid 

 instead of being sent with charges collect, 

 as is the luual custom. If your individual 

 order does not amount to $5.00 get your 

 neighbors to join with you in a "Club 

 Order," to the amount of $5.00 or more, 

 and the planU will be sent to you, express 



prepaid, that you may distribute them. 

 We always include "extras" with every 

 order of this kind, ajid these extra* become 

 your property for your trouble. We 

 guarantee satisfaction and saife aorivaJ of 

 goods, no matter where you live, or refund 

 the money pedd for them upon demand. 



These are a few of the advantages to be 

 considered in having the goods shipped 

 with all express charges prepaid : 



It enables you to tell the exact cost of 

 the goods you buy. 



It insures quick delivery. 



It gives you the advamtsige of receiving 

 your plants with sufficient soil airound 

 their roots to keep them in a fresh, grow- 

 ing condition. 



It saves you money. 



It relieves you of all responsibility (which 

 we sissume) of safe delivery. 



It makes you our next-door neighbor. 



It brings this, the oldest and leading 

 Rose-growing establishment to your very 

 doors. 



It makes shopping by mail an absolute 

 success. 

 It does not increase the cost of our good*.
