»*iw»i *»* n-nnij grown and popular varieties We call your particular attention to our choice list of roses. 
All Plant Orrtpr<! will be mailed as soon as possible after receiving 
xiu naui wiucis them, weather permitting. With our cold winters, 
however, it is oftentimes unsafe to ship any plants before March 1. 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 im- 
mediately, 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. 
Plants Bv FYnrPSS whi 'e plants can be safely sent by mail and our 
iiauia uy l-AUIvflS guarantee accompanies 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 arc repaid by receiving larger and 
stronger plants, and we always include extras more than sufficient to 
cover express charges. 
FrPP With all orders for plants we send our booklet -The A. B. C's of Suc- 
**«»'' cessful Floriculture, containing many valuable hints on the care 
and culture of house plants, if requested on order. 
FYtra Plants While we do not offer discounts on plant orders we 
** A " a ilou "'» 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 offer big discounts and send 
out puny plants that will never be thrifty. 
ImnOftant Plllnts scnt by mail have but little soil left on the roots 
* and should receive careful attention on their arrival. If 
they appear wilted, place them in hike warm water for 15 or 20 minutes- 
this will revive them. They are guaranteed to reach our customers in 
the United States in a perfectly healthy, living condition. If they do not, 
and we are notified immediately on tlnsir arrival, we will replace free of 
charge any that do notshow signs of life. Afterarrival at destination in 
good condition our responsibility ceases. All plants will be sent by mail, 
postpaid, unless otherwise noted in our catalogue or customer instructs 
otherwise. If sent by express the customer will pay express charges. 
Please note that we GUARANTEE the safe arrival of all plants sent by 
mail to any point in the United States, provided the above conditions are 
complied with by the customer.

ARAUCARIA EXCELSA 
(Norfolk Island Pine) Sometimes called the Christmas 
I re* Palm" and Star Palm". 
As a decorative plant for the house this is one of the hand- 
somest and most serviceable. It has deep green, feathery fol- 
iage, arranged in whorls, raising one above the other at regular 
distances: its symmetry of form, grace and beauty of foliage 
nreunequalcd. It is so hardy that the dry air. dust and other 
conditions of the ordinary living room, usually so unfavorable 
to plant culture, have apparently no deleterious effect upon it. 
Fine plants, each 75e; extra fine, $1.00 to $1.50. by ex- 
press only.
