HOW TO ORDER 
Please Read Carefully Before Ordering 
Order Early —Early orders are solicited to pre¬ 
vent disappointments in case the variety 
selected should be sold out. 
Please write your name and address plainly. 
Shipping time for iris is from June 1 to October 1, 
to suit customers’ convenience and proper 
planting time. 
The stock we ship is all first quality and rhizomes 
are of blooming size. Because of our long rain¬ 
less summers and our well-drained hillside 
gardens, the plants are well matured and fully 
dormant before shipping time. 
Substitutions —We do not substitute unless 
directed to do so. If late in the season, we 
suggest that you indicate a second choice, or 
that you permit us to substitute with equal or 
greater value. 
Terms —Remittance should accompany order un¬ 
less shipment is to be sent C. 0. D. or satis¬ 
factory credit references are given. Remit by 
Postal or Express Money Orders or by drafts 
on American banks when ordering from Canada 
and other foreign countries. 25% deposit will 
hold orders till shipping time, when they will 
be sent C. 0. D. for balance unless otherwise 
arranged. 
Postage —Seed orders of any amount sent post¬ 
paid. On bulb orders or combination seed and 
bulb orders of less than $1.00, add 15c for 
packing and postage. All retail orders amount¬ 
ing to $1.00 or over will be delivered free to all 
points reached by regular Parcel Post, except 
for stock cataloged with a notation specifying 
otherwise. 
Sales Tax—Add 3% to cover tax on all goods 
delivered in California. All sales delivered to 
other states not subject to tax. 
Non-Warranty —We give no warranty, express or 
implied, as to description, quality, productive¬ 
ness, or any other matter of seeds, bulbs, 
rhizomes or plants sent out by us and will not 
be responsible in any way for the crop. If the 
purchaser does not accept the goods on these 
terms no sale thereof is made and purchaser 
must return them at once, and money will be 
refunded.

ings Association; American Trust Co., Berkeley,

THE LATCH STRING IS ALWAYS OUT 
Our finest seedling gladiolus, and our rarest new varieties* will be 
in bloom during July; our dahlias from August to November; iris April 
and May. Follow scenic Euclid Avenue, keeping to the right around the 
turn of Grizzly Peak Boulevard (a continuation of Euclid Avenue) turn¬ 
ing to the left on Creston Road. Follow our garden signs. We are just 
one mile from the end of the No. 4 Cragmont (Euclid) line. 
*Most of our standard varieties are planted at our groiving fields. 
NOTE TO LOCAL CUSTOMERS: —If you expect to come to 
the gardens for iris rhizomes on Sunday, we request that 
you call us on the telephone or send in your order during 
the week so we can dig the rhizomes Saturday. We will 
not always be able to dig iris on Sunday.
