note—PLEASE 
While we were never quite so well prepared to supply your Mum cut¬ 
ting needs as we are for 1940, we strongly urge EARLY PLACING OF 
ORDERS. Demand for varieties varies greatly every season, making it 
difficult to closely anticipate them. While we watch the behavior and popu¬ 
larity of them in all sections and try to regulate supplies accordingly, every 
season unexpected demands develop; and, of course, shortages of some va¬ 
rieties. So order as early as you can, bearing in mind that all orders are 
filled in rotation as received. In common fairness, we cannot or will not 
make exceptions to this rule. 
We insist- on thoro Stot-e inspection of oil our propagating stock, especially for midge. 
This enables us to guarantee all stock furnished by us to be clean, free of disease or 
insects, well rooted, and carefully packed.

VERY IMPORTANT In order to produce cuttings at present prices, the business 
is run on a very close margin. For this reason we cannot 
break bundles of 25 cuttings as it adds considerable to the cost. 
Please note, therefore, following rule will apply on all orders: 
When less than 25 of a variety is ordered they will be billed at the ten rate, as per 
table shown above. 
25 of a variety will be billed at the 100 rate. 
When more than 25 of a variety is ordered quantity MUST BE IN MULTIPLES 
OF 25. 
250 of one variety will be billed at the 1000 rate. 
PLEASE NOTE If your order should total 900 cuttings (for example: 100 each 
of 9 varieties at $3.00, total is $27.00) while if 1000 are ordered, 
the thousand rate would apply. This point should be watched in figuring your order 
so that you may have advantage of the thousand rate on the entire order. WATCH THIS. 
If order is wanted C.O.D. be sure to enclose check for at least 50% of the amount.
