To Eastern Nurserymen 
who have not been buying from us. 
YOU SHOULD LOOK THROUGH THIS LIST 
CAREFULLY. While it contains much that is not 
adapted to climates more severe than ours, it also in¬ 
cludes many things that thrive East but are not ob¬ 
tainable there or which can be propagated much better 
and more economically here. 
If you have not bought of us before it may seem 
strange to send to the Pacific Coast for nursery stock, 
but many others do so EVERY YEAR to such an ex¬ 
tent that our eastern business is steadily increasing. 
Spring shipment to any eastern point is perfectly 
safe and practical via Southern Pacific R. R. to New 
Orleans, thence by rail, if destination is inland, or to 
Galveston and via steamer to Atlantic Coast points. 
We know how to pack properly for the long trip and 
the freight rate is just the same as if shipped direct 
over the mountains. This plan enables us to ship about 
March 1st while the stock is still dormant here, and 
to get it to you in good time for your spring selling 
season. 
Also we shall ship two heated refrigerator cars in 
January; one to Boston via N. Y. C., the other to Phila¬ 
delphia via Penn. R. R. Charges will of course be pro¬ 
rated among customers. These cars can be stopped 
at any point for partial unload at an extra cost of 
about $6.00. This method effects a decided saving on 
freight charges where customer is on or near the main 
lines and order is large enough to justify it. If you 
want further information about this plan please write 
us. 
On account of its weight, we do not recommend 
“balled” stock, but freight is not serious on deciduous 
and pot-grown items.
