My regular shipping season commences October 1st. However, I am some- 
times able to send out some plants:in September. This, however, depends 
upon the season and weather. I continue digging and shipping during the 
entire Fall, Winter and Spring until] May 1st or later. I am sometimes de- 
layed a short time by freezing weather during the months of January 
and February, but usually able to ship any time during these months. 
PLANTS BY MAT, 
I make a snecialty of sending plants in small quantities, by mail. Those 
wishing to obtain a few of one or more sorts can as in this manner. 
See my price list for postpaid, rates. 
CARE OF PLANTS 
Set plants on arrival if possible. If plants have become quite .dry in 
transit, it will help if roots of the plants can. be dipped in water and a!- 
lowed to “plump up” for some time before setting, perhaps over night. 
When this is done, however, ‘they should be set fairly soon after being 
taken from the water. At any rate have them thoroughly moistened. when 
planting. If anything prevents immediate planting pe the weather i 1s cool, 
the top of the crate should be taken off and the plants loosened in the 
crate, still keeping the roots covered with the packing material. Placed 
where it is cool, plants will keep like this for two or three days. If weather 
is too warm to keep plants, they should be “heeled in” in some shaded or 
protected place. Dig a V-shaped trench, open the bundles, spread them out 
in thin layers with buds just even with the surface of the ground and 
firm the soil back against the roots of the plants. Wet the soil and plants 
thoroughly when heeling is done.
