Michell’s Retable Plants 
Please read carefully before ordering Plants 
from this Catalogue 
So far as possible, when there are other goods on your order, please 
write the portion applying to plants on a separate sheet. 
Plant orders are filled and shipped at what we consider the proper 
season for planting, unless otherwise instructed by customers. 
Shipments for southern states, or localities where cold weather Is 
not a permanent thing, are made as soon as possible, unless otherwise 
instructed. 
Shipments are best made by Express, except orders for small plants 
or few m number. These can be sent by. Parcel Post, if sufficient 
remittance on cash orders accompanies same. 
In some cases the Parcel Post charges may be slightly in our favor; 
in the others, they will be in favor of the buyer, although our cus- 
tomers shoul Id not overlook the fact that it requires expert packing 
for safe arrival of shipments by Parcel Post. 
Please Note. Orders for less than the number of plants listed 
cannot be filled, unless they are offered at our counter and are taken 
along. Prices are especially established for these. 
Shipping-Time 
In average seasons, applymg to orders booked for spring. 
Hedge, Small Fruits, Trees, Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs. Sometimes late in March, generally durmg April and 
lasting until growth is too far adv anced for transplanting with safety 
or assurance of stock surviving. 

Herbaceous Perennials. April and continuing either until stock 
is exhausted or until season is too far advanced. Most perennials are 
pot-grown and can be planted safely at any season, as long as they 
are procurable. 
Roses. May is the best month for these, unless April is warm and 
settled. 
Bedding Plants. Geraniums, Cannas, Salvia, etc., are usually 
shipped beginning May 10. 
Special Caution 
Notice. On receiving plants, unpack them, plant and water 
thoroughly immediately. If they cannot be planted at once, at least 
unpack and water them. Newly planted stock, no matter how moist 
it may appear, should at planting-time and every day (in the evening) 
for a week thereafter, be watered thoroughly, unless we have rain 
each day during the period. Most losses, through Plants, Shrubs, 
Trees, Hedges, etc., dying, are caused by their not being watered 
sufficiently and regularly at planting-time. 
Special Notice on Guarantee 
We spare no effort to supply all Plants, Trees, etc., of the best 
quality in first-class living condition. On account of the man 
causes beyond our control, we regret we cannot guarantee this stoc 
to live and establish itself, as that is entirely within the power of the 
buyer or planter. 
If plants are wanted by Parcel Post, please add 10 per cent for 
points east of the Mississippi River, and 15 per cent for points west.
