1200 TRIED AND TESTED. NEW AND BEST 
HARDIEST VARIETIES AND SIZES OF 
NURSERY STOCK AND SEED FOR YOU 
How to Order 
Use the handy index to find what you want. There are two 
big order blanks in this book and one POSTAGE PAH) enve¬ 
lope. I will mail you more if you want them. No order is too 
small or too large for us to take care of properly. 
Most Prices Are Prepaid 
All garden and flower seeds are postpaid and most items of 
nursery stock. Shade trees and large size fruit trees are so 
large that Uncle Sam won’t let us send them by parcel post. 
I pay the transportation charges on all nursery orders of 
$10.00 or more even including the large size fruit and shade 
trees. Balled Evergreens are excepted from prepayment of 
transportation. 
How to Send Money 
Your personal check is good with me. Money orders and 
bank drafts are always good and safe. Send cash only in a 
registered letter. Many of my friends send me signed blank 
checks to be Ailed out for the correct amount. If you care to 
do this, I pledge that your check will be filled out for only 
the actual amount of your order at the lowest prices in effect 
the day your order is received. Cash remittances travel at 
your own risk unless registered. 
C.O.D. Orders 
Strawberries, perennial plants and vegetable and flowering 
plants cannot be sent C.O.D. You can save money by remit¬ 
ting the full amount of your order as the Post Office Depart¬ 
ment and Express Company make a slight extra charge for 
C.O.D. collections.
