TERMS 
It is a pleasure to issue this 1935 Catalogue listing a greater variety of 
choice plants than ever before and at lower prices. We believe they are cor¬ 
rectly named as we take pride in proper labelling. We do not believe such 
terms as “two year old seedling, etc.,” mean anything at all because of the 
great variations found in the same sowing of seed and the varying abilities 
of various growers. We have endeavored to indicate the minimum size and 
exact delivered cost of each item. All are strong, healthy plants grown in 
our favorable climate without artificial heat. The following signs and abbre¬ 
viations are used in the listings: in. for inch (equal to about 2*4 centimeters), 
RC for rooted cutting, P for plant, S for seedling. The size quoted means 
either height or diameter, whichever is greater, exclusive of spines. 
FREE DELIVERY 
Prices include careful packing in suitable containers and free delivery on 
all orders amounting to $1.00 or more. On smaller orders please add 15c. 
California clients only must add the 214% sales tax to their remittances. We 
cannot be responsible for non-receipt of stamps, coins or currency. 
WARRANTY 
All shipments are warranted to be healthy a,nd able to pass any horti¬ 
cultural inspection. Safe delivery to any point in the United States is guaran¬ 
teed. Our responsibility ceases when plants are delivered in good condition. 
CANADIAN SHIPMENTS 
Prices include delivery to Canadian points. Orders from Canada must be 
accompanied by Canadian Government importation permits. These may be 
obtained free on application to The Secretary, Destructive Insect and Pest 
Advisory Board, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. 
FOREIGN DELIVERIES 
Prices include carriage costs to all countries in the Postal Union to which 
the fees do not exceed 20c per pound. This includes practically all countries 
in direct connection with the United States. Loss of plants in transit is at 
customer’s risk except in the case of rejection by proper Horticultural 
Authorities on account off diseases and pests. Foreign clients should advise 
us of any special importation permit, special customs papers or health certifi¬ 
cates required by their respective governments, in order to avoid loss or delay.
