THE SIZES OF PLANTS furnished by us are, in all 
instances as large as can be advantageously forwarded 
by mail. The roses and greenhouse plants are strong, 
thrifty, well established stock from 2 Vi inch pots. The

GUARANTEE. — We are often asked whether we guar- 
antee our plants to live. No we do not. This is a 
matter which depends mostly upon the care and treat- 
ment they receive after reaching destination. But, ex- 
cept when ordered sent so early in the season as to be 
in danger of freezing, we will guarantee the plants to 
be packed so as to reach destination in good condition.
