General Instructions to Customers 
Read Carefully the Following: 
OUR GUARANTEE. We have a tremendous plant, and a very large investment, which is a valuable asset. We guaran¬ 
tee to our customers complete satisfaction. We give superior quality, make prompt and efficient shipments, and answer 
promptly any and all correspondence. We give freely any and all information. We have the largest acreage in the world 
devoted to the propagation of water lilies, by virtue of which you are assured of honest dealing, high quality, efficient serv¬ 
ice, and lowest prices. 
ORDER EARLY. This is most important. Remember our guarantee. All we ask is your cooperation. We suggest that 
you order at once, and leave to us time of making shipments. All orders are shipped in rotation. While we have the 
largest acreage in the world devoted to the culture of water lilies and goldfish, yet there are certain varieties of fish and often 
water lilies which are short. It takes time to grow both of these products, for they cannot be manufactured. 
SHIPMENTS. All plants, roots, etc., are carefully packed and leave our station in perfect condition. All fish are in 
perfect condition. We cannot be responsible for good arrival of fish, as the trouble may be due to improper handling. 
All shipments of fish are made by express collect unless otherwise indicated. Should any shipments arrive in bad condi¬ 
tion, take a bad order report, and we will help collect, as we have your interest at heart. All shipments of water lilies and 
plants are shipped with all transportation charges prepaid. Unless very large and heavy the shipment will move by mail. 
All fish by express, charges collect. 
PRICES AND TERMS. Our prices are net cash, and effective January 1, 1935. No orders are entered unless accom¬ 
panied with funds to cover. We believe that our prices will be found as low as any offered by responsible growers. We ask 
that you bear in mind, when considering prices, that we only ship the best material selected from our large production, and 
that we are not distributors, but actual producers. In addition we are active members of The National Water Lily Growers 
Association. 
Be sure to give us name in full, post office, R. F. D., street address, name of city or town and state.
