PLANT DEPARTMENT 
Order your plants for the garden and cemetery, for 
porch and window boxes, for the house and conservatory, 
from Salzer’s this year. They cost no more. We ship 
plants all over the U. S. and guarantee safe delivery! 
PLANTS NEED BATHS 
A bath every three or four weeks is just about right for 
house plants. Bathing the plants removes many insect 
pests such as plant lice and mealy bugs, cleans the leaves, 
and makes the plants grow better. Add plenty of any 
mild soap to the water, and rinse the leaves with clean 
water, using a soft sponge or swab of cotton for the wash¬ 
ing. During the bath, lay the plant on its side to prevent 
soapy water from entering the soil. 
NOTICE 
We will replace at half price any plants, shrubs, roots 
or bulbs that we send out, that do not grow! Since we 
cannot supervise the planting, watering, and general care 
of plants, shrubs, bulbs and roots, this arrangement is very 
fair to our customers. All claims, therefore, must be made 
within three days of receipt of plants. Otherwise, it is 
understood that replacements will be at half price. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT 
All plants are shipped when stock is ready and when the 
weather permits planting. For the south, orders are naturally 
filled much earlier than for the northern states. As orders 
are received, we book them and ship at planting time unless 
you instruct us otherwise. 
HOW WE SHIP 
To reduce weight and volume, plants are shipped without 
pots and with most of the dirt removed. However, if you 
wish us to ship house and bedding plants in paper flower-pots 
with all of the original soil attached to the roots, please add 
10c extra for each plant so ordered. See footnote.
