nexiuiiances drafts are absolutely safe to 
mail in a letter. Personal checks from any of 
our friends and customers are also accepted. 
Cash should be sent by registered letters only; 
it IS not safe to send cash in ordinary letters 
When the remittance is not sent in with the 
oriJer, and instead the amount is to be collected 
on delivery (C. O. D.), one-half of the total of 
the order should accompany the order as a down 
payrnent. C O. D shipments are seldom re- 
questeo; it is an expensive way of making re¬ 
mittances, and often causes a little delay in the 
delivery of live trees or plants.

and pure. However, I am compelled to make all seed sales 
under the following di.sclaimer: The Sonderegger Nurseries &

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
On most pages of this book, in this space, you find an item of Planting Instructions. Read it carefully. We have sacrificed 
considerable space in this book to bring you these instructions from our own experience. These same spaces could have been 
used for profitable “Sales Talk.” Descriptions throughout this book are free from exaggerations. All the actual sales talk we 
wish to put in this book is the following: Plant more trees, more shrubs; grow your own fruit and vegetables. Beautify your 
home and surroundings with trees and flowers. All these Improvements are things that make life better and happier. We shall 
appreciate your patronage. We give you good stock, good service, and favorable prices; low prices If you take quality into 
consideration.
