GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO CUSTOMERS 
Head 
Our Guarantee, We have a tremendous plant, and a 
very large investment, which is a valuable asset. We guar¬ 
antee to our customers complete satisfaction. We give 
superior quality, make prompt and efficient shipments, and 
answer promptly any and all correspondence. We give 
freely any and all information. We are the largest producers 
in the world devoted to the propagation of water lilies, by 
virtue of which you are assured of honest dealing, high 
quality, efficient service, and lowest prices. 
Order Early. This is most important. Remember our 
guarantee. All we ask is your cooperation. We suggest 
that you order at once, and leave to us time of making ship¬ 
ments. All orders are shipped in rotation. While we have 
the largest acreage in the world devoted to the culture of 
water lilies and goldfish, yet there are certain varieties of 
fish and often water lilies which are short. It takes time 
to grow both of these products, for they cannot be manu¬ 
factured.

Shipments. All plants, roots, etc., are carefully packed 
and leave our station in perfect condition. All fish are in 
perfect condition. We guarantee good arrival of both. All 
fish shipments are made by express collect unless otherwise 
indicated. Should any shipments arrive in bad condition, 
take a bad order report, and we will replace. We don’t leave 
the matter to you. All plants guaranteed to arrive in perfect 
condition, and guaranteed to grow, and please you. Could 
anyone do more?
