count on all orders mailed before February 15th, 
5% to March 15th. This discount to apply only 
when cash accompanies the order. It is to our 
mutual advantage when you order early as it 
relieves us of office work during the rush sea- 
son, and as our stock is complete you are cer- 
tain to get what you want. No orders for spring 
shipment should call for shipment later than May 
15th, as the plants are not dormant after that 
date, and we cannot be responsible for their

far distant states. We ship all packages C.O.D.
