“COLLECTED 55 RHODODENDRONS AND KALMIA BY 
THE 100 AND 1,000 AND FREIGHT INFORMATION 
The number that may be shipped in a car varies largely, depending on sizes. The minimum 
weight allowed per car is 16,000 pounds, with a freight rate from my Highlands Nursery to Balti¬ 
more of 584, New York $ 88 , and Boston $96. 
A car may easily be loaded much heavier, with proportionate increased freight charge, but not 
increasing the cost per plant. 
A full car travels with greater safety than one with a small load. 
All “clumps” offered below are collected with a good ball and arc burlaped separately. 
Burlaping is charged at cost, as below. We always burlap clumps unless expressly ordered 
otherwise

BURLAPING 
It always pays to burlap the larger sizes of trees anti shrubs, especially evergreens, even if 
planted the same day. No charge is made for burlaping single plants as quoted. Otherwise burlaping 
is charged as follows: 
2 to 3 ft., clumps and trees, 5 cents each 
3 to 4 ft., clumps and trees, 7 cents each 
4 to 6 ft., clumps and trees, 8 cents each 
6 to 8 ft., clumps and trees, 10 cents each 
and larger sizes in proportion. Unless instructed to the contrary, I assume customers desire 
proper burlaping, which will be added to the invoice. 
Always address.
