All plant orders will be mailed as soon as possible after re- 
ceiving them, weather ■permiuing. With our cold winters, 
however, it is oftentimes unsafe to ship any plants before March i. 
Not only will the plants arrive in better condition if shipped at 
that time, but they will be much larger and stronger than if 
shipped earlier, so that customers will lose nothing by waiting. 
If, however, our customers desire their plants immediately, we 
will comply with their wishes in the matter as soon as we think 
it safe after receiving their orders. All plant and bulb orders are 
filled from our greenhouses and will be mailed in separate packages 
from there, and not with the seeds. 
ptANTS BY EXPRESS gn forward at purchaser's expense. While 
•T plants can be safely sent by mail and our guarantee accom- 
panies all such shipments, 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 larger and stronger plants, 
and we always include extras more than sufficient to cover express 
charges. 
FREE. fFith all orders for plants we send our booklet — The A. B. 
C.'s of Successful Floriculture, containing many v-aluable hints 
on the care and culture of house plants, if requested on order.

il* we will give extra plants free of charge on all orders whether 
sent by mail or express. The prices named by us are as low as 
good plants can be sold at. Our stock is well grown, carefully 
packed, and guaranteed to reach destination in good condition. 
We prefer to send out stock that will give satisfaction rather than 
ofTer big discounts and send out puny plants that will never be 
thrifty. It will save delay if you ascertain if your station is a 
prepaid one before sending your order and 
include enough money to cover charges if it is.

customers in the United States in a perfectly healthy, living con- 
dition. If they do not, and we are notified immediately on their

araugaria excelsa 
SOMETIMES CALLED the "Christmas Tree Palm" and the 
"Star Palm." The foliage is arranged with strikinsr 
.symmetry in whorls, at regular intervals, and is exceeding- 
ly graceful and feathery. In addition to this it is so hardy 
that the conditions of the ordinary living room, usually so 
unfavorable to plant culture, have no deleterious effect 
on it. It requires good drainage and should be moist 
always, but never wet. When 5 or 6 years old it should 
be as many feet high, and is one of the most decorative 
plants for house or porch. Price 75c., each. Larger 
plants from $1.00 to $3.00, by express.
