Our Green Plants 
We are fully equipped to grow the best of plants, having 
a new 2S l / 2 x 50 / 2 ft. King semi-steel greenhouse, also a new 
cool greenhouse to grow and harden up the plants before 
shipping. We guarantee safe delivery of the plants in good 
growing condition and true to name, and will replace any 
found otherwise, but owing to the difference in soils, fertil¬ 
izer used, climatic conditions and care of growing the 
plants, further guarantee of plants ceases. We received let¬ 
ters from customers from California, Oregon, and many 
eastern and southern states telling of the fine plants received 
and of the strong growth made and large flowers they had. 
Our early plants and most all the late plants (of July 1st) 
had just as good roots in the Fall as root grown plants did, 
and earlier bloom, and we recommend them to our cus¬ 
tomers. The plants should always be planted deeper than 
roots, from 6 to 8 inches deep, and the holes gradually filled 
in as the plants grow. Try our plants and be convinced. 
Collections are made to reduce cost to you and to please you.

ORDER EARLY—As orders are filled in rotation—field- 
grown roots or thrifty plants if ordered—ordering early 
will insure the reservation of varieties that later may be 
sold out. Orders are filled with varieties called for, and 
unless substitution is asked, I never substitute. Please 
make your orders $2.00 or more, if possible, as it costs us 
just as much to handle a small order as one from $5.00 to 
$10.00. The same amount of work as packing cartons, 
handling, inspection, etc., is required. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT—Unless otherwise ordered, tubers 
will be shipped between April 15th and May 1st (plants 
can be had up to June 10th), by express or insured mail 
at my expense, on all orders over $2.00; under $2.00 add 
15c for postage. If Special Delivery or Extra Handling is 
wanted on plants, add 25c extra. It hastens delivery on 
plants. 
TERMS—Cash with order unless parties are known to me. 
No goods sent C. O. D. unless 50 percent of purchase 
price accompanies order. We will hold your order for you 
if a deposit of 25% is made, balance to be remitted before 
shipment is made. 
REMITTANCES should be made by bank draft, postoffice 
money order or registered letter. Postage stamps accepted 
up to $2.00. Coin should not be sent by letter unless 
registered. 
ERRORS—While my system for handling orders is as near 
perfect as possible, yet in the rush of business, errors are 
possible to occur, and I wish to be promptly notified of 
such and will at once make same satisfactory Make all 
complaints to me, not to your friends, as we aim to please. 
NAME AND ADDRESS—Remember to write your Name, 
Postoffice, County and State, also give Street Number or 
P. O. Box as plainly as possible.
