time during the winter and spring months, while many^ffortheriv 
Nurseries cannot dig until after your best planting - 
Have plants shipped early, as directed on page 8, before they 
are too far advanced. Heel them in, in some protected place, 
giving a light covering of straw, and they will be right at hand to 
plant, just when you want them, when conditions are right for 
planting 
Or, if to be kept only a day or two before planting, loosen up 
the lid, and put the crate without unpacking, into some cool pro¬ 
tected place, and the plants will keep in excellent condition. 
ON RECEIPT OF PLANTS. Where the climate is not so 
severe, place the package containing the plants in a cool place, 
protected from wind and sun, at once on arrival. Be sure to 
keep the roots moistened while planting. If it is impossible to 
set the plants as soon as received, take them out of the crates, 
and bed them in by digging a V-shaped trench in soft, moist 
soil, preferably in the shade; open the bunches of plants and bed 
them in the trench by pressing the soil firmly to the roots, being 
careful not to cover the buds or crowns. Water thoroughly as 
soon as bedded. 
TWENTY-FIVE. All plants are tied twenty-five in a bundle 
and each bundle labeled. 
PACKING. We make no charges for boxing or packing at 
rates quoted in this catalog.^ Everything is delivered f. o. b. 
trains at rates named. 
AT PURCHASER’S RISK. All plants ordered shipped af¬ 
ter May 1st will be packed and shipped in the best condition pos¬ 
sible, but at purchaser’s risk. 
TRUE TO NAME. While we use every precaution to have 
all plants true to name (and we believe we come as near doing 
this as anyone in the business) we will not be responsible for any 
sum greater than the cost of the stock, should any prove other¬ 
wise than as represented. 
Claims, if any, must be made on 
receipt of goods. We cannot become 
responsible for stock that is allowed 
to lie around your station, or express 
office, for neglect of purchaser or his 
employees to care for stock after it 
has been received, or for misfortune 
caused by drought, floods, insects, 
etc. These things are entirely beyond 
our control.

Planted 5,000 — Lost None. 
Clay County, Fla., December 30, 1919. 
Please send me your price-list of plants as soon as you can, as I want some 
plants to set in February, if possible. The 5,000 plants I got from you last 
spring are excellent. Lost none. Made 40,000 plants from them and now 
I have the largest plants in the country. That is what everybody says that 
sees them. I have picked some Missionaries since December 12th.

feel sure you will not disappoint me this time.
