GERMAIN'S FRUIT TREES 
Please note that all prices listed on this and the following page are at Los Angeles and it will be 
necessary to include postage or express charges for shipments. In general the addition of 10% 
to the amount of your order will be sufficient. In small quantities all deciduous fruits may be 
shipped parcel post but in quantities of 10 or more we recommend express as being cheaper and 
more satisfactory. Citrus and tropical fruits such as orange or avocado trees must go via express.
