PLANT DEPARTMENT. 
Ml Plant OrflprQ mailed as soon as possible after re- 
,j '-'^"Cia ceiving them, weather permitting. With our 
•old winters, however, it is oftentimes unsafe to ship any plants before 
llarch 1. Not only will the plants arrive in better condition if shipped 
It that time, but they will be much larger and stronger than if shipped 
■y arlier, so that customers will lose nothing by waiting. If, however, our 
' iHtomers desire their plants immediately we will comply with their wishes 
n the matter as .soon as we think it safe after receiving their orders. .Ml 
int and bulb orders are filled from our greenhouses and will be mailed in 
liarale packages from there and not with the seeds. 
Jlorif c lixr ExnrPSI While plants can be safely sent by mail and 
.uuiv>3 ujf boo. our guarantee accompanies all such ship- 
nents, we would advise all customers ordering plants to have them sent by 
Express. The cost is a trifle more, but our patrons are repaid by receiving 
arger and stronger plants, and we always include e.xtras more than sufficient 
0 cover express charges.
