CAMELLIA JAPONICA, continued 
found that we not only get a better plant, with more root 
system, but one that will better stand early moving to 
the outdoors. We will be glad to send you a sample for 
your inspection and comparison with any other plants 
in the same size. On most varieties we are in position to 
give much larger plants in the 8 to 12-inch size than you 
would expect. We have most varieties in 3-inch pots that 
can be shipped with no damage to the root systems, al- 
though they will go with bare root without any damage, 
as we have successfully shipped this way many times. 
We also have excellent 18 to 24-inch field-grown plants. 
We will send as many with buds as possible, but cannot 
guarantee buds on them. Our 12 to 18-inch plants are 
in open beds, not in lathhouses. They are very nice and 
can be moved with bare roots if wanted this way; if 
handled carefully they will transplant as well as when 
balled. We have a good many customers who take this 
size without any soil at all, and they never have made any 
complaints. When we move them from the beds to the 
field, we always bare-root every one, and the stand in our 
rows will show that we never lose any because of moving 
them this way. 
We know that we can please you with our plants; all 
orders will be given our very best attention. Many cus- 
tomers who started buying from us the first year we were 
in business are still buying every year. We do not have 
the largest nursery in this section, and for that matter 
are not trying to outdo anyone in that respect, but we do 
try to produce the best plant for the money, and will con- 
tinue to do so. A trial shipment will convince you, but 
if you are not entirely satisfied, we are ready and willing 
to make any reasonable adjustments.
