INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING—PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
SEND NO MONEY FOR POSTAGE—Mail Shipments Sent C.O.D. For Charges 
You pay the postman the exact amount of postage—no guess¬ 
work or over-charge. Postal clerks give C. 0. D. shipments preference, 
assuring more prompt delivery. Another thing—C. O. D. shipments

blank for mail shipment, sending cost of plants only, and we will send 
them C. O. D. for the exact postage. 
Everything except trees can be sent by mail. Quick delivery 
right to your door in city or country—much the best for you and 
cheaper for smaller orders. If you wish us to determine the best way
