DWARF TREES AND SHRUBS 
We have found it advisable to make a distinct section for all hard-wooded 
plants and request our customers to cast their eyes over this second alphabetical 
arrangement for any dwarf plants they may miss in the first part of the catalog. 
We DO NOT pay the cost of transportation on Trees and Shrubs. Please add 10%

All excess money will be refunded.
