I'D GO BROKE SENDING 
THESE PLANTS POSTPAID! 
Most of the plants listed in 
this catalog are somewhat larg- 
er than are ordinarily supplied 
by mail, and some of the clumps 
are downright heavy, so that 
if I were to attempt to pay 
postage I’d go broke in no time. 
A few of the plants are small, 
and, except in the case of new 
and improved varieties that are 
still rather scarce and expen- 
sive, the smaller size is reflect- 
ed in a lower price. 
All plants except irises 
(which are shipped postpaid) 
will be sent express collect. But 
even when you pay the carry- 
ing charge, you will find the 
plants a real bargain when you 
compare them with many that 
are shipped postpaid. At least 
our customers seem to think so!

eries or the front of the border. 
White cup-shaped flowers nearly an 
inch wide are borne freely on spread-

September. Hardy, but shoots show

IF IT’S WRONG 
Y’LL MAKE IT GOOD 
In order to avoid mix-ups va- 
rieties of plants which may be 
mistaken for each other are dug 
and labeled one plant at a time, 
but should any mistake arise I 
want to know about it. If it is 
impossible to supply the prop- 
er plant the price will be re- 
funded. It will not be neces- 
sary to return the plant that 
shouldn’t have been sent. 

“Your plants arrived on Columbus Day, an especially fine time for me as 
I was able to plant them within a short time. 
“T take this opportunity to write to you in order that I may express my ap- 
preciation for the splendid clumps that you sent me. 
They were all ex- 
tremely healthy and am sure they will flower abundantly.”—N. J.
