for Important Information 
Regarding Orders and 
Shipping 
We ship safely to all parts of America and to every nook and corner of the world. Our famous Roses 
are sent to missionaries in darkest Africa—carried into the interior for hundreds of miles by native run¬ 
ners. They are growing in the gardens of the King of Siam. You will see them in China, New Zealand, 
Japan, and all parts of South America; both the East and West Indies—everywhere in the civilized world. 
With 42 years’ experience we have a perfect system of packing. HERE ARE THE METHODS OF SHIP¬ 
PING FROM WHICH TO SELECT; 
SHIPMENT BY 
EXPRESS 
The purchaser pays transportation 
charges when taking advantage of prices 
that are listed by express. There is this 
advantage in this method of shipping— 
all soil is left around the roots, expertly 
wrapped in especially prepared waxed, 
water-proofed paper of heavy weight. 
This is almost as if the plants were 
shipped in the original pots in which 
they were grown. You get this famous 
rose soil, and the extra packing FREE. 
The soil is shipped intact, the roots being 
undisturbed. We know of no such ex¬ 
pert FREE service elsewhere. The slight 
additional express charges count as al¬ 
most nothing when compared with the 
great advantage of having your plants 
arrive in perfect growing condition with 
ALL SOIL ABOUT THE ROOTS SECURE¬ 
LY WRAPPED IN WATERPROOFED 
PAPER, EACH ONE SEPARATELY. 
DISCOUNTS —Have your friends join you in securing the 
benefit of quantity discounts. You may deduct 10% on 6

SHIPMENT BY MAIL— All plants sent postpaid 
are so listed. These are shipped with some soil sur¬ 
rounding the roots. 
Orders for large Roses by Express, charges col¬ 
lect, which include other plants such as first size 
Roses, ’Mums, Carnations, etc., priced POSTPAID— 
such plants will be sent in Express shipment, charges 
collect—each plant wrapped separately, in water¬ 
proofed paper, almost like pots, with all soil left 
around roots. No extra charge for this special 
packing.

plants reserved early for shipment later, as desired. Orders
