A WORD TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
(1) Order early —we often sell out on certain items at the begining of the season, it being impos¬ 
sible to predetermine the demand. Thereby you will avoid disappointment. 
(2) Forwarding of orders —all flower seeds are postpaid at our expense. On plants, roots, and bulbs 
the purchaser pays all transportation charges. Unless otherwise requested, we will ship the cheapest 
way. 
(3) We deliver all orders free of transportation charges in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles. 
(4) Parcel Post shipments —we advise forwarding all small orders and packages up to 20 pounds 
in weight by parcel post. It is manifestly impossible to stipulate the weight of a particular shipment 
until packed. We are therefore not publishing the cost of carriage on any shipment of bulbs, roots, or 
plants. Where we are obliged to prepay these charges we will bill the customer the actual amount in¬ 
volved and remittance can be made after receipt of goods. 
(5) We pack all orders free and no charge is made for boxes, packing material, or labor wherein 
a shipment is to be sent by parcel post, express, or freight. 
(6) Remittances may be made by check, postal money order, or express money order. 
(7) No shipments will be sent C.O.D. 
(8) Non-warranty—we give no warranty express or implied of the productiveness, growth, or any 
other matters of similar nature of the plants, bulbs, and seeds we send out and will in no way be re¬ 
sponsible for the crop. 
(9) Name and address—designate clearly full address including city, county and state. Preferably 
use order blank opposite page 64. 
(10) Any errors made in filling an order will be rectified on receipt of complaint.
