METHOD OF SHIPPING 
During our years of experience in the nursery business, we have 
found that the method of shipping is as essential as the growing of 
the plant itself. Unless otherwise instructed, practically all plants are 
forwarded by Railway Express. This is the speediest and most reliable 
service that we know of today, also very economical. 
We have frequent pick-ups daily right from our packing house 
and various trains are met with our shipments. We have found that 
plants for destinations within a radius of 400 miles are ordinarily 
delivered the next day, those traveling to distances of 500 to 1000 
miles, the second or third day. This wonderful service, coupled with 
a good job of packing, assures you of receiving your plants promptly 
and in the best of condition.
