a ormne periods and night temperatures as given in table must of course be accompanied by warm, sunny daytime conditions. Study 
e 
this tab 
and then figure where, in your glass area, you have a few feet of bench space where you can put the Azaleas so as to give them 
the temperature they need. They are not fussy. Any corner will do but don’t let them get dry at the roots. Keep the pots moist. 
**All our Azaleas, not sold for winter forcing, are forced by us for Easter and Mothers’ Day. 
You can order anytime within 30 days of 
the holidays and the plants we send you will be timed just right to come in for the holidays. We will reserve orders placed in advance and 
do our best to take care of last-minute telegraph and telephone orders subject to stock being unsold.

Our Winter Storage and Forcing Layout 
All our Azaleas for forcing or to be sold for forcing 
during the winter months and for Easter are wintered in 
sunny, well ventilated houses at a night temperature of 
38-40 degrees, the temperature being maintained by elec- 
trically controlled thermostats. 
Stocks of certain varieties intended for Mothers’ Day 
are wintered in deep cold pits protected by sash and 
straw mats. 
It costs real money to winter forcing stock in this 
way, but it is the only way to insure perfect plants with 
all the late-maturing top buds unblasted. You cannot be 
sure of perfect buds if you buy your forcing Azaleas from 
a grower who does not house his saleable stock during 
the winter. He may sell cheaper but three years out of 
four the late maturing buds will be blasted. 
Packing and Shipping 
We have standardized our packing and can therefore 
ship all orders promptly. It is very, very seldom that all 
orders are not shipped on the same day as received. We 
guarantee quick service and no irritating delays. 
When we receive your order each plant is wrapped 
separately in paper; and the plants are then packed in 
corrugated, fibre-board boxes of light weight but very 
strong construction. As an added precaution each box 
is lined with heavy waxed butcher’s water-proof paper. 
These boxes weigh only 20% as much as a wooden 
box of equal size, and, inasmuch as there are no nails 
and wooden cleats to fight, you can unpack the shipment 
in a jiffy. 
Aside from saving in express charges and ease in 
unpacking, these fibre-board cartons are vastly superior 
to wooden boxes lined with paper when it comes to winter 
shipments during bitter weather. They are practically 
air tight and they certainly get the plants to you with 
the buds unharmed, 
We have been packing Forcing Azaleas for many 
years and guarantee to get the plants to you in first- 
class condition at the lowest possible express charges. 
These plants travel by express at the second-class rate. 
We are never keen about shipping Forcing Azaleas 
by freight and will positively not do so during the winter 
months or when buds are showing color. 
Here are the weights of each plant size when packed: 
3 inch pot averages 8 oz. 
4 inch pot averages 1 to 1% ib. 
5 inch pot averages 11% ibs. 
6 inch pot averages 21% ibs. 
Small Orders 
We ship hundreds of small orders and want hundreds 
more of them. Any order for $2.00 or more is a good 
order from our standpoint, so don’t be afraid you won’t 
be taken care of. Jf you are uncertain just what to order 
send us the amount you want to spend and leave the 
selection to us. Mixed orders of more than one variety 
and size amounting to 25 or more plants will be sold at 
the 25 price. 
Business Terms and Conditions 
If you have an established credit rating within the 
trade we will be pleased to extend credit, otherwise our 
terms are cash with order or C.O.D. Our credit terms are 
30 days from date of shipment. 
ALL PRICES INCLUDE PACKING 

Visitors welcome, but we will be decidedly 
more pleased to see you if you will come during 
business hours and lay off us on nights, Saturday 
afternoons and Sundays.
