OUR TERMS OF BUSINESS 
All seeds, but not bulbs or plants, are sent 
postpaid. Safe arrival is guaranteed. 
We try to send out only good seeds, but we 
cannot control the conditions of planting. We 
give no warranty, express or implied, as to 
description, quality, productiveness, or any other 
matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants we sell, and 
we will not be responsible for the crop. 
Please remit by money order if possible, or by 
personal check. Seed-order minimum should be 
fifty cents. No C. O. D. shipments made. Stamps 
will be accepted for small amounts only. 
It must be definitely noted that we cannot undertake to 
fill any order for plants and (or) bulbs that does not 
amount to one dollar value. Due to fixed overhead and to 
packing costs, smaller orders would be filled at an actual 
direct loss to us.

MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY 
Visitors are always welcome at Old Orchard, our 
nursery and seed-farm at Moorestown, New Jersey. 
Our offices are located at the Nursery. Old Orchard 
is close to Moorestown, actually within its boundar¬ 
ies, but about a mile and a quarter beyond the built- 
up section. To reach Old Orchard, leave Moorestown 
on Chester Avenue. At flicker light on edge of 
town, turn left on road marked for Bridgeboro. 
Moorestown is a residential suburb of Philadelphia, 
accessible by frequent local bus service from down¬ 
town district of that city. Those coming by bus 
should alight at Chester Avenue in Moorestown, tak¬ 
ing then the local Bridgeboro bus. This passes the 
Nursery. 
HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Put them out now, no better months for planting than 
September and October. The cool fall days will start the 
newly-moved perennials to root-making, and they will 
keep up the work during mild periods of the winter, and 
in the soft soil-warming weather of early spring, so 
that, when blooming-time comes they will have built 
anew the great masses of fine fibrous roots that mean so 
much to plant vigor. This folder, of course, is not in¬ 
tended to give the full list of perennial plants that we 
have available, and that are suitable for putting out now. 
For hundreds of others, many that are new and rare, 
along with old-time favorites, please see our General 
Catalog. The latest issue is No. 33. Old customers 
already have it, but if by some chance you did not receive, 
or have mislaid your copy, just let us know and we 
shall quickly send you another. 
SEEDS OF HARDY PLANTS 
Our General Catalog No. 33, with its Treasure Chest 
supplement, now offers seeds of nearly 3400 flowering 
plants. Included are a large number of kinds that 
either should or may be sown outside in late autumn for 
spring germination. Many of these are difficult if sown in 
the spring, but easy if sown in the fall, for they are kinds 
that need to have their seeds exposed to cold, not heat, in 
order to germinate them. Such are marked in the Catalog 
with the key letters “y” or “kt”, the letters following the 
variety name. In making up your fall seed order, be sure 
to check through the general catalog for such, as well as 
through the present folder. 
AUTUMN AND WINTER SOWING 
Seeds of certain hardy perennials, and of many bulbs, 
shrubs and trees, seem to need a period of exposure to 
low soil temperatures in order to put them in shape to 
germinate. The best way to handle such seeds is to sow 
them in open ground seed-beds, or in cold-frames, in late 
autumn, October or November, but in regions with mild 
winters, or elsewhere whenever the ground thaws for a 
few days, the sowings may continue during December, 
January and February with excellent results.
