A void disappointment by ordering early. Quantities are 
very limited on some varieties and you will be assured 
of the best selection by making prompt reservation. 
Unless otherwise specified, root orders will be shipped 
between April 15 and May 1. Earlier shipments not recom¬ 
mended or guaranteed against freezing, drying out or 
rotting. Green plants are usually shipped between May 15 
and June 10.

work, inspection, packing, carton and handling is required. 
Our quotations include all ordinary transportation 
charges fully prepaid. If you wish “Special Delivery”, add 
25c to your remittance. We recommend that green plants 
should travel Special Delivery to insure prompt and care¬ 
ful handling.

will, as a matter of accommodation, book your order upon 
receipt of a deposit of 25% of the amount of the order— 
balance to be paid before delivery time. Special Credit

a monthly or installment basis. If your credit is good—
