I am offering «ery special carload prices as below. My grading and handling will be kept to usual high 
standards. You may make up your own combination at these unit prices. Five hundred of the average size will 
make up a carload. All balled and burlapped F. O. B. here. ALL THESE CLUMPS ARE BUSHY AND WELL 
FEATHERED TO THE GROUND. Spread about equal to height. No reference is made to number of stems 
to each clump. Experience has taught us that some of these sorts may often have many spindling stems and 
quality still inferior to what we would send out on orders.
