BORSCH'S PERENNIAL GARDENS 
Mail Address: MAPLEWOOD, OREGON 
READ CAREFULLY 
A LL OF THE STOCK offered in this catalog is grown on our grounds. Plants are 
exposed to the biting cold east wind which pays us a visit three or four times each winter. 
Varieties, with a few exceptions as noted in the catalog, which cannot withstand the cold 
wind and weather in our gardens, are discarded, as we are growers of HARDY PLANTS. 
Plants grown from cuttings or root divisions are guaranteed to be true to form and 
color. Plants grown from seeds are from seed stocks obtained from the most reliable 
sources, but are not guaranteed as to form and color. 
Location 
Take Multnomah-Maple- 
wood Bus, which will 
take you directly to our 
Gardens — ask the driver. 
Six miles southwest of 
Portland, via Terwilli- 
ger Boulevard to Mult¬ 
nomah. Follow first road 
to your right after you 
have crossed the Mult¬ 
nomah Viaduct to S. W. 
45th Ave. 
We have spent a large sum of money incorporating crushed rock screenings and peat 
moss into our soil. This allows plant to make a stronger root system and that is the most 
important part of a plant. 
Non-Warranty Is Condition of All Sales Made 
On account of there being so many causes for failure over which we 
have no control such as poor or improper soil, unfavorable weather, 
ignorant or careless culture, we can assume no responsibility after 
stock is delivered. 
Risk 
All goods are at purchaser’s risk after they are delivered to the 
forwarding companies and we receive their receipt for the shipment 
in good condition. 
Shipping Instructions 
We advise, and will send unless otherwise ordered, all plants and 
seeds by parcel post. Retail orders from Oregon, Washington, Idaho 
and California amounting to $5.00 or more will be shipped prepaid. 
If more money is sent than necessary for postage, we will add extras, 
or refund, as per your instructions. If insufficient money is sent, 
plants will be shipped balance of charges collect. This method is more 
satisfactory than attempting to quote postpaid prices, allowing us to 
ship much larger plants. 
Order Early 
Orders placed early are the ones that generally have the best selec¬ 
tion of the stock on hand. Late orders are often not being filled 
complete, as stock will run out sometimes. Orders for stock which 
we think unsafe to move at that particular season will be reserved and 
shipped at proper time. 
Terms of Payment 
Customers unknown to us will please send cash or reference with order.
