House Plants and Bedding Plants 
Our greenhouse department offers you a very complete list of house plants that we can supply through¬ 
out the year. We exercise the greatest care in packing to insure against frost and breakage in transit. 
House plant orders are sometimes held up during sub-zero weather, but never for more than a few days. 
The low prices we charge for small house plants give our customers an opportunity of securing a nice 
lot of choice plants at very little expense. 
WE GUARANTEE ALL POT PLANTS TO REACH YOU IN GOOD GROWING CONDITION 
and will replace free of charge any that do not, provided we are notified within ten days from date 
plants reach you. We do not, however, ship house plants outside of the Continental United States ex¬ 
cept at customer’s risk. 
Unless otherwise instructed, all house plants will be packed with damp moss on roots and delivered by parcel post, post¬ 
paid. We can send them with earth on roots, at the same prices, provided customers are willing to pay the express 
charges and will order in quantities of ten or more plants. We do not ship plants in pots. i 
HOUSE PLANT SEEDS 
Some of our customers prefer starting house plants from seed. Much enjoyment can be had growing some kinds in this 
way, so we are offering seed of such varieties as we can supply and recommend. Our house plant seeds are fresh and of 
the very best strains, and we sell them at the lowest prices for which strictly high grade seeds can be produced.
