The Firat TMrty-two Page* ofthia Cmtalogur Contain our Twentieth Cetttury ^foveUiet anU Speci€Uty List, 
Don't Fail to Bead. 
As we have the most cxteasiTC ran^ of Rreenhonses in the North- 
west, we are In a position to stipply our patrons' wants iki the plant 
line as well or better than any other firm in the business. Unlike mary 
eeedsiti-n who catalojpie plants and bnlbs, we do not have to depend on 
the ofif n market for them, have them shipped from a distance and then 
repacked bylnexperienced help. 
Our plants are prown in our own j^rounds and greenhouses, by cx- 
perienrrd plantsoien, and are taken fresh from the pots the day they are 
sent out. They are packed by experienced men and are guaranteed to 
teach otir customers in the United States in n perfectly healthy, living 
condition.' If they do not, and we are notified immediate'y on their 
arrival, we will replace free of charge any that fail to grow or do not 
show »igns of life on arrival. 
Vr'e have given the packing of plants onr careful attention and study 
for years and are constantly.improving on our methods until we have 
no hesitancy in saj'inc; that onr methods of packing and shipping plants 
are the best In the world. 
In compiling this list we have selected the old favorite varieties which 
•very plant lover knows and prizes and as many of the new varieties of 
special merit as we can conscientiously recommend to our customers. 
We prefer to sell our goods on their merits and retain the good will and 
gntronage of onr customers, rather than excite their curiosity and induce 
licm to spend tbeir money for fiashy novelties of questionable merit. 
In manycases and during certain seasons we have larger plants than 
we offer Jrercwith. Prices on these larger plant.4 will be cheerfully quo- 
ted on application. 
Our plants and ro«e» are "frown by the famous "cold system" which 
insnjres extra strong, thrniy siock, far superior to that sent out by some 
firms, who force their plants in overheated houses until they are utterly 
wornless. All plants will be sent postpaid unless otherwise In- 
•tracted. If ordered tiy e xpress they will be sent at purchaser's expense, 
but extras are always included in such orders. 
Many customers order plants at the same time they order aeeda. 
All such plant orders will be filled as soon ns possible after we receive 
them, weather nermitting, unless the customu- (M^ers otherwise. AU 
f>lant orders are filled at our greenhouses and^wul be mailed separate- 
y ftom the seeds. ^
