Morale on the Home Front 
Army morale is as essential on the front line as are guns 
and ammunition. No less essential to our fighting forces is 
good morale on the home front, for it is the men and women 
behind the line who keep the army supplied on the front. 
Our government recognizes this important fact and while 
it asks us to work long and hard for Victory, the authori- 
ties encourage the people to keep their spirits up with mod- 
erate recreational activities. 
If you like gardening, what better way is there to give you 
a mental lift than a little time spent with your favorite 
flowers? And nothing adds nearly as much to your garden 
enjoyment as a few new plants to play with. If rubber cur- 
tailment, lack of time or other factors keep you from coming 
to our nursery, make your selection from this catalogue and 
have us forward the plants to you. It costs but little to ship 
plants. For example, twelve strong 2%4” pot plants, care- 
fully packed, shipped at present rates from Palo Alto, cost 
(for forwarding charges only) approximately 15c to San 
Francisco, 19c to Los Angeles, 15c to Sacramento, 19c to 
Eureka, 26c to Portland, Ore., and 35c to Seattle, Wash. 
Please read carefully before ordering 
Write plainly, or better, print your name and address 
(postal address, too, if different from street number) giving 
prefix of Mr., Mrs., or Miss. If you live in a rural district, 
please give the county name. 
All shipping orders are cash. No C.O.D. orders. 
We do not prepay shipping orders. Postage or express to 
be paid by the customer. 
There is no charge for packing material, but on orders for 
less than $2.50 please add 10% for handling charge. We do 
not solicit orders for less than $1.50 and cannot accept 
orders for less than $1.00. 
We never substitute if out of a variety. PLEASE GIVE 
A SECOND CHOICE WHENEVER POSSIBLE, it saves 
correspondence. 
All plants are properly labeled according to law. 
We suggest the 21% inch pot size for shipping as that en- 
ables you to order more varieities per given weight over the 
four inch pot size. 
QUANTITY PRICES 
Almost all of our plants are priced at 25c each for strong 
plants in 2% inch pots and 35c for well-grown stock in 4 
inch pots. The few 1942 novelties and other higher priced 
ones are so marked in the catalogue. Specimen plants in 
larger pots vary in price according to size and variety. 
In each group 12 plants for the price of 10. 
In each group (Fuchsias, Garden, Lady Washington, and 
Ivy Geraniums) six or more plants sell at the dozen rate. 
For example, six Fuchsias at 25c each are six for $1.25; or 
five at 25c and four at 35c would be $2.21, figuring each at 
the dozen rate as there are more than six. 
This quantity rate applies only to plants in each group 
(Fuchsias, Garden, Lady Washington, and Ivy Geraniums) 
and does not apply to a mixed order of, for example, two 
each of Fuchsias, Lady Washington, and Ivy Geraniums. 
You save substantially by ordering six or more of each 
group. In ordering six or more of a group, each plant may 
be a different variety. 
Due to conditions beyond our control prices may change 
without notice, in which case we will inform the purchaser 
thereof before making shipment. We anticipate no price 
changes.
