age as soon as goods are received. Large orders by

routing to express or freight, so be sure to give us your 
express and freight address if different than post office. 
BARGAIN COLLECTIONS CANNOT BE DIVIDED OR 
CHANGED IN ANY MANNER. 
IN SHIPPING EVERGREENS the larger sizgs will have 
to go by freight or express. Medium size Evergreens, and 
the two, three and lour times transplanted windbreak 
Evergreens in Norway Spruce, Jack Pine, etc., should not 
be Balled and Burlapperi. as they are grown too close 
in the rows to ball satisfactorily. Do not be afraid to- 
have Balled Evergreens shipped by freight, for their 
roots are packed solidly in the earth they have been 
growing in lor years, and they can be on the road for 
weeks without any damage whatever. In the jpast, 
however, we have found that freight shipments of Ever¬ 
greens traveled quite rapidly with little or no delay 
We always advise that large, heavy, speriama Ever- 
greeas be Balled aed Bariopped, ood shipped by freight.
