TERMS OF SALE 
Prices quoted herein are for cash with order, and include packing and 
delivery by prepaid parcel post. 
Large orders at special prices will go by express, delivery charges 
COLLECT. 
No orders accepted for less than $1.00 unless accompanied by 20 cents 
additional to cover the cost of packing. 
I remove all plants at flowering time that appear to be untrue to 
name, but being human an occasional mistake will occur, in which event 
I will only be responsible to the extent of replacing the plant or refunding 
the purchase price. 
For instance, the past sesaon I noticed some small unknown pinkish 
hardie mixed with my QUAKER MAID plants. How it got there I guess 
I will never know, but I am not listing any QUAKER MAID until I get 
it straightened out. 
Unless specifically requested not to do so, I will ship a similar variety 
to one ordered when the variety ordered is sold out. A list of “Second 
choice” varieties is helpful in such cases. When requested not to do this, 
the purchase price of any variety not furnished as ordered will be refunded. 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
My plants are grown in the open garden here at No. 7 James Avenue., 
Montgomery, Ala., and I personally select, label and pack each order. 
Shipments can be made earlier than the middle of April, but except for 
the southern portion of the United States earlier shipments are not desirable. 
However, if desired shipments can be made from March 1st on. 
Each order of plants will be dipped in a nicotine and rotenone spray 
mixture immediately prior to packing, which eliminates even the possibility 
of any insect pest. 
Mimeographed cultural directions will be included in each package of 
plants shipped. 
Bud selection and blooming dates are for this locality and must be 
taken as approximations only. Further north they will be advanced, and 
delayed as you go South. A variety will be matured and gone here by the 
time it is in bloom in New Orleans. 
Unusually hot weather in September and October will lighten the 
colors of most mums—particularly the pinks, and this should be borne in 
mind when ordering the early varieties. As an example, two years ago the 
old standard early pink ENCHANTRESS came nearly white, due to the 
unusually hot weather in October, and the past year EDWIN M. BYRNES 
was nearly white from early buds, but showed considerable color from 
later buds. 
As a general rule varieties maturing before the latter part of October 
are not satisfactory for the southern portion of the United States—the sun 
is too hot in September and early October.
