PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: 
Cultural directions will be mailed with the acknowl¬ 
edgment of the order. Another copy will be included 
in the package with the roots. 
TIME OF SHIPMENTS: 
I begin shipping my peony orders the first week in 
September. Customers may ask for shipment any week 
before November 15th. 
POSTAGE AND PACKING CHARGES: 
In my September, 1939 leaflet I told my customers that 
postage charges would be made on all of the small roots 
which they purchased from me and in every package 
which left my garden after that circular was sent out, I 
placed one or more gratis roots. Apparently these gratis 
roots are so welcome that my customers do not object 
to the paying of the postal charges. 
PARCEL POST 
Here is the scale of parcel post prices on packages this year. 
The charges on one division of any size (or root of any size) 
will be 100. The charges on two roots or divisions will be 120, 
on three roots or divisions 140, on four roots or divisions 160, 
and one cent for each additional root or division. 
These charges may appear too large in the first, sec¬ 
ond, and possibly third zones, but customers living farther 
away will probably notice that on some packages the 
charges were higher than the amounts noted here. We 
will place an additional division or two in each package 
to equalize postage and packing charges. 
NO SUBSTITUTIONS: 
Of some varieties, I have a limited number of roots. 
If I cannot supply any variety you order, I will return 
your money for that variety. I never make substitutions 
on any customer’s order unless the customer asks that 
this be done.
