in proper time for planting in your districts. The first

following up with our shipments in the later Spring 
seasons to our mid-western and eastern states. This 
part we watch very closely. It is our aim td ship you

Our railroad connections are of the very best, being 
able to route through our terminals immediately when 
shipments are received by the railroad. Perennials are 
of perishable nature and should be shipped by express, 
unless the material is of extra heavy nature and in 
perfect dormant stage at the time of shipment.

METHOD OF PACKING 
This part of the work is very important. In every 
case the perennials must be packed according to its 
nature. Therefore our packing is handled by our most 
experienced men. They are fully acquainted with all 
varieties of plants that we grow and pack accordingly. 
In the large volume of business annually, we receive 
only an occasional complaint on shipments being re¬ 
ceived, either heated in transit or improperly packed. 
In following up these complaints, we find in many 
cases that such shipments are either delayed in transit 
or traveling through unfavorable weather conditions. 
This, however, is so trifling when taken into consid¬ 
eration our thousands of shipments that our packing 
methods are as perfect as possible. In the event of 
plants arriving in unsatisfactory condition, we are 
ready at all times to cover such plants with replace¬ 
ment or refund of price paid. 
ADJUSTMENT OF COMPLAINTS 
Complaints for adjustment must be mailed to us 
in writing immediately upon arrival of stock.

pany all orders from purchasers unknown to us. To
