My regular shipping season commences October Ist. However, I am 
sometimes able to send out some plants in September. This, however, de- 
pends upon the season and weather. I continue digging and shipping 
during the entire Fall, Winter and Spring until May Ist or later. J am 
sometimes delayeq a short time by freezing weather during the months 
of January and February, but am usually able to ship any time during 
these months. 
PLANTS BY MAIL 
I make a specialty of sending plants in small quantities by mail. 
Those wishing to obtain a few of one or more sorts can order in this 
manner. See my price list for postpaid prices. 
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 
allowed to ‘‘plump up” for some time before setting, perhaps cvernight. 
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 and the weather 
is 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 bun- 
dles, spreag them out in thin layers with buds just even with the sur- 
face of the ground and firm the soil back against the roots of the 
plants. Wet the soil and plants thoroughly when heeling is done. 
GUARANTEE OF GENUINENESS 
I am located 314 miles northwest of Jonesboro, Illinois, in Southern 
Illinois, about thirty-six miles north of Cairo and about 100 miles south 
of St. Louis. This location is in about the same latitude as Richmond 
and San Francisco. 
I exercise the greatest care to keep my plants pure and true to name 
and hold myself in readiness to replace, on proof, all stock that may 
prove otherwise. But it is mutually agreeg between the purchaser and 
myself that I shall not be liable for any amount greater than the orig- 
inal price of the goods.
