HOW 10 ORDER 
ORDER EARLY. It is most important that your orders be in our 
hands early in the season, as in May and June we are very rushed. 
If you wish our prompt attention and want to get your. plants in 
early, order in February and March. 
USE ORDER BLANK, Please do not give your order on the same 
sheet with your letter. We can give you much quicker service if 
you use the order blank for the order, and letter paper for questions 
or comments. Give your name in full, together with street or rural 
route, and city and state. 
REMITTANCES. Please make all checks and money orders payable 
to Smiley’s Water Gardens, Seward, Nebraska. We prefer stamps to 
coins for small orders. 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 
SUBSTITUTIONS. If it should happen that we are out of one or 
more of the varieties you order, we will substitute, with your per- 
mission, another variety equally good or higher in value than the 
original order, 
Goldfish, aquariums, and supplies can be shipped at any time of 
the year. 
IMPORTANT. When you receive your shipment of roots, unpack at 
once and place them in water until ready to plant. Should you need 
to keep them for sometime before planting, it is best to submerge 
fully one-half the root in mud and cover with water, 
WINTER CARE. Hardy water lilies may be removed to the base- 
ment and kept moist and protected from mice throughout the win- 
ter. They need no other pipechon other than from direct freezing 
of the roots.
