SHIPPING SEASON 
Our shipping season opens in the spring, about

to the season. In the fall it extends from the end of 
August to the beginning of December. 
FALL PLANTING 
With a few exceptions, fall planting of the her¬ 
baceous plants is as successful as spring, and many 
of the early flowering plants, storing their food over 
the winter, should be planted in the fall, when pos¬ 
sible, in preference to the spring.

Stock selected by customers at the Nurseries, 
or specially selected stock ordered by mail or other¬ 
wise, will be charged at advanced rates according 
to the value of the stock selected.

One to four plants of a single variety will be 
priced at the each rate. The five, ten, and hundred 
rates will apply only when those quantities con¬ 
sist of a single variety. 
Five to thirty-nine plants of one variety and 
size will be priced at the ten rate.
