NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER 
After this we will discontinue the shipment of all plants 
(clumps and seedlings) in the spring of the year to points EAST 
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, except entirely at your own risk. 
Our spring comes so early that by March 15th plants are already mak¬ 
ing a rapid growth, and by the time spring and planting time arrives in the 
East in April, our plants are so far advanced that they do not ship very 
well and only cause us a lot of grief and disappointment to our customers. 
We advise all customers to order their plants and seedlings in the fall of 
the year, which is the best and most logical time anyway. We can begin 
shipment in September TO ALL POINTS IN THE UNITED STATES and 
continue until November and December to milder sections, such as Southern 
California, Texas and Florida, beginning again in February, weather per¬ 
mitting, until March 15th for clumps and plants to May 15th for seedlings. 
If you want your plants sent by mail, post paid, always add 10% of your plant 
order for postage. In other words: if your plant order comes to $2.00, add 20c; 
if to $5.50, add 55c; and if it amounts to less than $1.00, add 25c for handling 
charges. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT IN EVERY CASE WHERE THE 
10% PARCEL POST CHARGE IS NOT REMITTED, PLANTS WILL BE SENT 
BY EXPRESS, CHARGES COLLECT. 
DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS NOTICE! 
Owing to the expense of digging plants, wrapping them and mailing them, 
we cannot accept orders for plants for less an amount than $ 1.00 and then they 
must be sent altogether. IF YOU ORDER LESS THAN $1.00 in plants, add 
25c extra for handling charges. Don’t fail to do so, or your money will be returned.
