PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE 
ORDERING 
Order Early— Unless specific instructions are given for 
later shipment we fill orders in rotation received. We 
sometimes get a bit behind during the rush season and 
the early order, of course, gets out first. 
Concerning Postage —We prepay all seeds to any point. 
Plants, roots, and bulbs will be sent by Parcel Post if 
postage is included with order. (Add 10% for points 
west of the Mississippi and 15% for points east of the 
Mississippi.) Otherwise shipment will be made by Ex¬ 
press, Collect. We will prepay all orders of $5.00 and 
over in the states of Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washing¬ 
ton and California, except for trees, vines and shrubs 
which must go by express, collect. 
Canadian Shipments —Our Canadian customers must first 
obtain a permit from the Department of Agriculture at 
Ottawa. Plants will then be shipped as requested. If 
shipment is to be made by mail, please add 15% for 
postage. 
Guarantee —We guarantee all stock to reach you in live, 
growing condition and to be absolutely true to name. 
Any stock that is not in good condition when received 
will be cheerfully replaced if we are notified immedi¬ 
ately. As we have no control over weather and soil 
conditions and have no way of overseeing proper plant¬ 
ing and care after planting, we cannot assume any re¬ 
sponsibility after our stock reaches you in good condi¬ 
tion. 
Cash With Order —Please send remittance with order as 
we do not like to ship C. O. D. It is an additional expense 
to you and often causes delay. 
May We Substitute?— When permitted to substitute we al¬ 
ways give extra value even if no substitute is necessary. 
Our collection is large and contains many items of 
which stock is limited and if we are sold out we appre¬ 
ciate the opportunity of substituting. 
Correspondence —We are glad to answer questions at all 
times but ask that you please use a separate sheet and 
not include on order blank. 
FREE OFFER —We will send one 25c plant of your choice 
with each $2.00 plant order if included on your order. 
This does not apply to seed orders. 
Rock Plants —Plants suitable for the rockery are marked 
thus (*) 
Located as we are in a region where thirty degrees be¬ 
low zero is sometimes in order, our plants which are field 
grown, should be perfectly hardy in any part of the country. 
We sometimes have a little difficulty in getting shipments 
off to our southern friends before the first of March, al¬ 
though we do, as a rule have some mild weather in Feb¬ 
ruary in which it is possible to make shipment. If you wish 
an early shipment, please advise on your order and we will 
do the very best that is possible. 
EVERGREENS—Conifers 
We ship evergreens only with bare roots which make 
them very much cheaper and with any reasonable care 
they will do equally as well as when dug with a ball of 
earth. They are carefully packed with moss and guar¬ 
anteed to reach you in perfect condition.

FANTAIL PIGEONS 
Live Ornaments for Your Garden 
Nothing is more lovely than these beautiful birds strut¬ 
ting about a garden. They are as proud as peacocks of 
their huge, beautiful tails and fairly quiver with excitement 
as they strut about. Their soft cooing is always delightfully 
soothing, and as they are not very strong flyers, due to the 
weight of the heavy tail, they are always close to their 
home which can be regulated at will. An artistically built 
dove cote atop a post, or a shelf placed inside an outbuild¬ 
ing with a small hole cut through to let them in and out will 
do nicely. We are very proud of our exceptionally fine stock 
and have a few pairs only to spare this year.
