Our Green Plants 
Wc are fully equipped to grow the best of plants, hav¬ 
ing a new 25 Vz x5 OV 2 ft. King semi-steel greenhouse, 
also a new cool greenhouse to grow and harden up the 
plants before shipping. We guarantee safe delivery of the 
plants in good growing condition and true to name, and 
will replace any found otherwise, but owing to the differ¬ 
ence in soils, fertilizer used, climatic conditions and care 
of growing the plants, further guarantee of plants ceases. 
We received letters from customers from California, 
Oregon, and many eastern and southern states telling of 
the fine plants received and of the strong growth made 
and large flowers they had. Our early plants and most 
all the late plants (of July 1st) had just as good roots 
in the Fall as root grown plants did, and earlier bloom, 
and we recommend them to our customers. The plants 
should always be planted deeper than roots, from 6 to 8 
inches deep, and the holes gTadually filled in as the plants 
grow. Try our plants and be convinced.

ORDER EARLY—As orders are filled in rotation—field- 
grown roots or thrifty plants if ordered—ordering 
early will insure the reservation of varieties that later 
may be sold out. Orders are filled with varieties called 
for, and unless substitution is asked, I never substitute. 
Please make your orders $2.00 or more, if possible, 
as it costs us just as much to handle a small order as 
one from $5.00 to $10.00. The same amount of work 
as packing cartons, handing, inspection, etc., is re¬ 
quired. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT—Unless otherwise ordered, tubers 
will be shipped between April 15th and May 25th 
(plants can be had up to June 10th), by express or 
insured mail at my expense, on all orders over $2.00; 
under $2.00 add 15c for postage. If Special Delivery 
or Extra Handling is wanted on plants, add 25c extra. 
It hastens delivery on plants. Complete cultural direc¬ 
tions inclosed with each plant or root order. 
TERMS—Cash with order unless parties are known to me. 
No goods sent C. O. D. unless 50 percent of purchase 
price accompanies order. We will hold your order 
for you if a deposit of 25% is made, balance to be 
remitted before shipment is made. 
REMITTANCES should be made by bank draft, post- 
office money order or registered letter. Postage stamps 
accepted up to $2.00. Coin should not be sent by letter 
unless registered. 
ERRORS—While my system for handling orders is as 
near perfect as possible, yet in the rush of business, 
errors are possible to occur, and I wish to be promptly 
notified of such and will at once make same satisfac¬ 
tory. Make all complaints to me, not to your friends, 
as we aim to please. 
NAME AND ADDRESS—Remember to write your Name, 
Postoffice, County and State, also give Street Number 
or P. O. Box as nlainly as possible.
