SUMMER AND FALL 1934 SEED AND BULB CATALOG 
DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS NOTICE! 
Owing to the expense of digging plants, wrapping them and mailing them, 
we cannot accept orders for plants for an amount less than $1.00 and then they 
must be sent altogether. IF YOU ORDER LESS THAN $1.00 in plants, add 
hng charges. Don t fail to do so, or your money will be returned. 
NOTICE. Seedlings should be put in cold frames during the winter months 
or otherwise protected from being thrown out by alternating freezing and thaw¬ 
ing. 
OUR GUARANTEE. We will send you only strong, healthy stock, well 
packed, and good-sized clumps, but we absolutely will not guarantee that the 
stock will live in your garden or that you won’t lose them. This refers both to 
clumps and seedlings. 
We will send the stock, if on hand, exactly when you say. Please don’t leave 
it to us, saying: “Send to suit our climate.” We know nothing about your climatic 
and local conditions. 
Please, do not order plants or bulbs you do not find listed in this catalog. 
ALL SEEDLINGS WILL BE DELIVERED AS EARLY IN SEPTEMBER 
AS PRACTICABLE, AND TO MILDER SECTIONS DURING OCTOBER AND 
NOVEMBER (NOT LATER) AND AGAIN FROM FEBRUARY ON UP TO 
MAY 1ST. 
PARCEL POST OR EXPRESS SHIPMENTS—WHICH SHALL 
IT BE ? IT IS UP TO YOU. 
We strongly advise that all plants should be sent by express. Each package is 
handled separately and is always exposed to the air, while Parcel Post packages 
are stuffed in air-tight canvas bags and often kept for half a day and a night in 
over-heated post offices and mail cars. How can you expect plants to reach you 
in prime condition under such treatment? Why not pay a little extra and save 
worry, loss and disappointment? 
AND ANOTHER ADVANTAGE TO YOU—Since we save a little on Express 
shipments on which you pay the charges, we gladly add an eftra plant or two, 
and in SOME CASES, can send you larger clumps, the sending of which is pro¬ 
hibitive by Parcel Post, owing to the charges into distant zones. 
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, except where plants are quoted postage 
prepaid. 
BUY YOUR PERENNIAL SEEDLINGS THIS FALL — ENJOY 
THEIR BLOOMS IN YOUR GARDEN NEXT YEAR 
The Cost is a Trifle—The Quality Is High—The Satisfaction So Much! 
NOTICE TO THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE CHARACTERISTICS OF 
HYBRID DELPHINIUMS: Only a percentage of 50 to 60% (depending upon the 
variety) will come true to the parent plant. The rest may be even finer than the 
parent plant. Keep this in your mind when you are tempted to buy cheap Del¬ 
phinium plants or cheap seeds from Tom, Dick or Harry. You CANNOT raise fine 
Delphiniums from poor, inferior seeds, and fine, pedigreed seeds _ cost money 
(this same applies to Pansy seed) and plants grown from it, necessarily cost more 
money than just ordinary stock. 
These seedlings, grown in the field, from our choicest seeds. None better. 
Can be sent to any part of the United States during the fall months and early 
spring. Upon arrival either plant them in a cold frame, wintering them there, or 
plant right outside into a permanent place. (Drainage must be good during the 
winter.) Mulch them during the winter with evergreen bows (not straw) or 
dead leaves if you live in a cold climate.
