GENERAL INFORMATION AND 
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS 
Substitution. Positively no substitution unless you request us to do so. It may be 
advisable to name a second choice when ordering late in the season, as the stock of 
some varieties may have become depleted, otherwise we will return your money. 
Terms. 25% with order, unless parties are known to us, balance before shipment. 
Make remittance in the form of check, express or postal money order. Send no cur¬ 
rency unless by registered letter. 
C. O. D. We will ship roots C. O. D. in which case the customer pays the charges. 
No plants are sent C. O. D. as this causes delay. 
Responsibility. We guarantee our product to be true to name and to reach you in 
good growing condition, but will in no way be responsible for the crop. In case of 
error on our part we will gladly replace or refund the purchase price of any article, 
that does not prove true to name. It is mutually agreed between the purchaser and 
ourselves, that we shall not at any time be held responsible for a greater amount than 
the original purchase price of the goods. Failures are generally due to causes beyond 
our control, such as weather, soil conditions, bad planting, over fertilization, etc. 
Errors. All errors or omissions will be satisfactorily adjusted, if we are notified upon 
receipt of goods. 
Our Policy is to grow the best stock we know how, and of the finest varieties in 
existence. To fill each order with the best roots and plants it is possible to produce 
in order to give each customer the satisfaction he has a right to expect. 
Transportation Charges. We prepay transportation charges anywhere in the United 
States or Canada on all Dahlia orders amounting to $2.00 or more. On orders 
amounting to less than $2.00 add 25c. to cover the postage. Plants of Delpinium, 
Aquilegia and other stock are sent express collect. 
Notice to Foreign Customers. Remit by Postal Money Orders from foreign coun¬ 
tries. Do not remit by personal checks. 
Canadian Customers Please Note. In accordance with the ruling governing the 
importation of Nursery Stock from the United States into Canada, it will be necessary 
to obtain a permit from the Secretary of the Destructive Insect and Pest Act Advisory 
Board, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, and file same with the Collector of Customs 
before shipment can be cleared. Seeds are exempt from this ruling, and may be shipped 
into Canada without a permit. Dahlia roots come under the classification of 
Nursery Stock. 
This ruling must be complied with in order to make delivery and we ask you, in the 
event of an order, to secure this permit, advising us of the number of same, that we 
may mark it on the outside wrapper.
