6A. of 
To Eastern Nurserymen 
who have not been buying from us. 
YOU SHOULD LOOK THROUGH THIS LIST CAREFULLY. 
While it contains much that is not adapted to climates more severe 
than ours, it also offers many things that thrive East but are not 
obtainable there or which can be propagated much better and more 
economically here. You will also find a number of items used con¬ 
siderably indoors with you, such as Acacias, Oleanders, etc. 
If you have not bought of us before it may seem strange to send 
to the Pacific Coast for nursery stock, but many others are doing 
so EVERY YEAR to such an extent that our eastern business is 
steadily increasing. 
Spring shipment to any eastern point is perfectly safe and practi¬ 
cal via Southern Pacific R. R. to New Orleans, thence by rail, if 
destination is inland, or to Galveston and via steamer to Atlantic 
Coast points. We know how to pack properly for the long trip and 
the freight rate is just the same as if shipped direct over the mount¬ 
ains. This plan enables us to ship about March 1st while the stock 
is still dormant here, and it will arrive in good time for your 
spring selling season. We can often include orders in a carload 
going East and then reship. This is always done when possible. 
On account of its weight, we do not recommend "balled” stock, 
but freight is not serious on deciduous and pot-grown items.

weeping)
