GROWN BY THE FAMOUS COLD SYSTEM. 4 
All ^lant Orders 
Will he iiiailfd as soon as possible after re- 
ceiving: ihem, weailier permitting. Uun our 
cold winters, however, it is oftentimes unsafe to snip any plants before 
March Ist. 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 comi)ly with their wishes 
in the matter as soon as we think it safe after receiving their orders. .^11 
plant and bulb orders are filled from our greenhouses and will be mailed 
in separate packages from there and not with the seeds. 
PLANTS BY EXPRESS While plants can be safely sent by mail and our 
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 are amply repaid by receiving larger and stronger plants, 
and we always mclude extras more than sufficient to cover express charges. 
p^rPA 3ll orders for plants we send our booklet — The A B C*s of 
flCC Successful Floriculture, containing many valuable hints on the 
care and culture of house plants. 
EXTRA PLANTS — While we do not offer discoimts on plant orders we will 
give extra plants free of charge on all orders whether sent by mail or ex* 
press. 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 desti- 
nation in good condition. We prefer to send out stock that will gWe sat- 
isfaction rather than offer big discounts and send out puny plants that 
will never be thrifty. 
T^iYirji-vf-f n-f-tf Plants sent by mail have but little soil left on the roots and should receive careful atten- 
'••■'^x'^-*- ^<*-^*' turn on their arrival. If they appear wilted, place them in luke warm water for fifteen or 
twenty minutes. This will greatly 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 their arrival, 
we will replace free of charge any that do not show signs of life on arrival, .\fter arrival at destination in good 
condition our responsibility ceases. AH plants will be sent by mail, postpaid, unless otherwise noted in our 
catalogue or customer instructs otiierwise. 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 StateSt provided the
