HOW TO ORDER 
Mark your order plainly, giving oorreot address, time 
delivery is desired, and telephone number. All plants 
are freshly dug, and due to weather conditions over 
whioh we have no control, it is necessary that we have 
a few days notice to prepare your order. Sometimes we 
do not have variety wanted and take the liberty of 
sending you a similar plant of the same characteris¬ 
tics. If substitutions are not wanted, mark your 
order accordingly. 
For the convenience of our clients and for those 
people interested in selecting their own plants, we 
maintain two convenient sales grounds.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
All nursery stock needs oareful handling. It must not 
be unnecessarily exposed to sun or drying winds before 
being planted. Keep the roots oovered at all times 
with damp burlap sacks or something similar. After 
being planted the stook will need food and water. 
Cut off broken or bruised roots just above the 
plaoe of injury, with a sharp knife or pruning shears. 
Dig the hole large enough to receive the plant with¬ 
out bending the roots. Deposit good top soil on one 
side of hole and poor soil on opposite side. Then 
break up subsoil in bottom of hole and mix with it a 
little top soil and some well-rotted manure or a comm¬ 
ercial plant food. 
Set your plants in the hole so that the top of 
the roots are not deeper than 2 inohes in the ground. 
Refill the hole with good soil, but be sure that soil 
is worked around the roots oarefully and tamped thor¬ 
oughly, this is very important. Plants then should be 
given a good soaking, afterwards, fill the balanoe of 
the hole with loose soil, leaving a pboket or basin 
around plants to catch future water. Give plants 
thorough soaking onoe a week until thoroughly estab¬ 
lished. During the first growing season it is im¬ 
portant to keep the soil loose around the plants, if 
possible, every week or two.
