NOTE—PLEASE 
While our equipment and stock for supplying mum cuttings is im- 
proved annually as it should be, we strongly urge the importance of 
PLACING ORDERS EARLY. While we watch the behavior of varieties, 
especially the newer ones, and the market demands in all parts of the 
country, it is impossible to accurately anticipate varieties that will be 
most wanted. 
This results in unexpected demands and shortages of some varieties. 
For this reason, get your mum list in early as you can, bearing in mind 
that all orders are filled in the rotation received. We will not make ex- 
ceptions to this rule. 
We insist on thoro State inspection of all our propagating stock, especially for midge. 
This enables us to guarantee all stock furnished by us to be clean, free of disease or 
insects, well rooted, and carefully packed.

In order to produce cuttings at present prices, the business 
VERY IMPORTANT is run on a very close margin. For this reason we cannot 
break bundles of 25 cuttings as it adds considerable to the cost. 
Please note, therefore, following rule will apply on all orders: 
When less than 25 of a variety is ordered they will be billed at the ten rate, as per 
table shown above. 
If order totals less than 1000, 25 of a variety will be billed at the 100 rate. 
When more than 25 of a variety is ordered quantity MUST BE IN MULTIPLES 
OF 25, (meaning 50, 75, or 100). 
250 of one variety will be billed at the 1000 rate. 
If your order should total 900 cuttings (for example: 100 each 
PLEASE NOTE of 9 varieties at $3.25, total is $29.25) while if 1000 are ordered, 
the thousand rate would apply. This point should be watched in figuring your order 
so that you may have advantage of the thousand rate on the entire order. WATCH THIS. 
If order is wanted C.O.D. be sure to enclose check for at least 50% of the! amount. 
All our stock is propagated at Barberton, Ohio, 
SHIPPING INFORMATION from where it is shipped by Express COLLECT. 
If cuttings are wanted by Parcel Post, add sufficient postage as all prices are figured 
F’.0O.B. Barberton, Ohio. Approximate weights of cuttings are as follows: 50 cuttings, 
2 lbs.; 100, 4 lbs.; 500, 15 lbs.; 1000, 24 lbs. You can secure the amount of postage neces- 
sary from your local Post Office. 
ABOUT NEW PRICES In considering prices we insist that the first thot must 
be maintaining quality. Poor, more or less diseased, 
stock is costly at any price. It is needless to say the cost of producing good, clean stock 
is up around 15%. It is clearly impossible for the propagator to absorb this and maintain 
quality. We feel sure under these circumstances that the 9% increase in effect this 
season will be considered reasonably justified.
