"COLLECTED" CLUMPS BY THE 
CARLOAD 
For thu area covered and effect produced, a carload of Khodwlendrons 
or Kaliniaif is the cheapest landscape proposition offered. I ship an unusual 
grade of splendid clumps, each plant a specimen and burlaped separately. 
Don't accept cheap stock, thrown into cars without burlaping, and the fine 
hair-like rootlets inevitably espo«c<i. You will be (lisappointcKl and find it 
expensive in the end. While fine result.s may be had from "collected" 
Rhododendrons, particularly if purchased from a reliable source, where 
greatest care is uscri in digging and handling, results are never so sure as 
when nursery-grown stock is used. 
_ The number that may be shipped in a car varies largely, depending on 
sizes. The minimum weight allowed per car is U>,000 pounds. 
"Mixed" cars of collcctx^d Rhofh/ilemlran caiawhieiise, fthwtotleiulron 
nuiximum, and Kaltiiias will be sent if desired. 
.\ ear may be easily loaded much heavier, with proportionate increased 
freight charge*. 
\ full car travels with greater safety than one with a small load. 
All "clumps" offered beh*w arc collected with a good ball and are bur- 
laped sepiira(<'ly. 
On collected clumps btirlaping is always charged extra as below. 
We always burlap clumps unless expressly ordered otherwise.
