PLANT DEPARTMENT 
Plants that are Northern Grown! Plants of every de¬ 
scription! Plants that are hardier! Plants that grow! 
Order your plants for the garden and cemetery, for porch 
and window boxes, for the house and conservatory, from 
Salzer’s this year. They cost no more. We ship plants 
all over the U. S. and guarantee safe delivery! 
NOTICE 
We will replace at half price any plants, shrubs, roots 
or bulbs that we send out, that do not grow! Since we 
cannot supervise the planting, watering, and general care 
of plants, shrubs, bulbs and roots, this arrangement is very 
fair to our customers. All claims, therefore, must be made 
within three days of receipt of plants. Otherwise, it is 
understood that replacements will be at half price. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT 
All plants are shipped when stock is ready and when the 
weather permits planting-. For the south, orders are naturally 
filled much earlier than for the northern states. As orders 
are received, we book them and ship at planting time unless 
you instruct us otherwise. 
HOW WE SHIP 
To reduce weight and volume, plants are shipped without 
pots and with most of the dirt removed. However, if you 
wish us to ship house and bedding plants in paper flower-pots 
with ail of the original soil attached to the roots, please add 
10c extra for each plant so ordered. See footnote.

SALZER’S CANNAS 
ORDER YOUR

THIS YEAR! 
Cannas do well in all sections of the country and their noble propor¬ 
tioned foliage is extremely attractive, with rich shades of chocolate, red, 
green, and bronze. Cannas should not be planted less than twenty inches 
apart each way. At the beginning of the season we send dormant bulbs; 
as the season advances, depending also upon the w.eather, we send out 
started plants, which incidentally will give one earlier flowers.
