SHIPPING 
We have successfully shipped to many customers as far as 
the Atlantic Coast states. 
In 1940 our shipping business amounted to more than 
double that of 1939. We were pleased to receive many repeat 
orders and can say that we never had a shipment rejected by 
agricultural inspectors or customers. We try to ship only 
high grade plants, true to name and packed carefully and 
feel that in view of this our prices are moderate. 
For the protection of customers and ourselves and in or- 
der to save correspondence and possible misunderstanding, 
we make suggestions and conditions for shipping plants as 
follows: 
Please read carefully 
Write plainly, or better, print your name and address 
(postal address, too, if different from street number) giving 
prefix of Mr., Mrs., or Miss. If you live in a rural district, 
please give the county name. 
All shipping orders are cash. No C.O.D. orders. 
We do not prepay shipping orders. Postage or express to 
be paid by the customer. 
There is no charge for packing material, but on orders for 
less than $2.50 please add 10% for handling charge. 
California orders add 3% sales tax. 
Each order that comes in has to be acknowledged, most of 
them require correspondence and each order, particularly 
in California, has to be accompanied by a manifest to the 
county agricultural commissioner’s office at the destination. 
All of this takes much of our time and in the case of small 
orders voids whatever profit there may be. Therefore we do 
not solicit orders for less than $1.50 and cannot accept 
orders for less than $1.00. 
We never substitute if out of a variety. Please give a 
second choice whenever possible, it saves correspondence. 
All plants are properly labeled according to law. 
We suggest the 2!% inch pot size for shipping as that en- 
ables you to order more varieties per given weight over the 
four inch pot size. ! 
QUANTITY PRICES 
Almost all of our plants are priced at 25c each for strong 
plants in 2% inch pots and 35c for well-grown stock in 4 
inch pots. The few 1941 novelties and other higher priced 
ones are so marked in the catalog. Specimen plants in larger 
pots vary in price according to size and variety. 
In each group 12 plants for the price of 10. 
In each group (Fuchsias, Garden, Lady Washington, and 
Ivy Geraniums) six or more plants sell at the dozen rate. 
For example, six Fuchsias at 25c each are six for $1.25; or 
five at 25c and four at 35c would be $2.21, figuring each at 
the dozen rate as there are more than six. 
This quantity rate applies only to plants in each group 
(Fuchsias, Garden, Lady Washington, and Ivy Geraniums) 
and does not apply to a mixed order of, for example, two 
each of Fuchsias, Lady Washington, and Ivy Geraniums. 
You save substantially by ordering six or more of each 
group. In ordering six or more of a group, each plant may 
be a different variety.
