NOTE—PLEASE 
While our equipment and stock for supplying mum cuttings is improved annually 
as it should be, we strongly urge the importance of PLACING ORDERS EARLY 
PARTICULARLY THIS SEASON. While we watch the behavior of varieties, es- 
pecially the newer ones, and the market demands in all parts of the country, it is 
impossible to accurately anticipate varieties that will be most wanted. 
This results in unexpected demands and shortages of some varieties. For this reason, 
get your mum list in early as you can, bearing in mind that all orders are filled in the 
rotation recerved. We will not make exceptions to this rule. 
ABOUT PRICES 
Due to the sharply increased cost of labor and material and to our determination 
not to sacrifice quality in any way, a slight price increase has been found necessary 
for the coming season. 
It is our policy to supply your mum cutting needs with such quality and at a price 
that it will be profitable for you to depend on us for them. Accordingly, price changes 
EITHER WAY will be made as conditions justify. 

We insist on thoro State inspection of all our propagating stock. This enables us to 
guarantee all stock furnished by us to be clean, free of disease or insects, well rooted, 
and carefully packed.

VERY IMPORTANT In order to produce cuttings at present prices, the business is 
run on a very close margin. For this reason we cannot break 
bundles of 25 cuttings as it adds considerable to the cost. 
Please note, therefore, following rule will apply on all orders: 
If order totals less than 1000, 25 of a variety will be billed at the 100 rate. 
When more than 25 of a variety is ordered quantity MUST BE IN MULTIPLES OF 25, 
(meaning 50, 75, or 100). 
250 of ome variety will be billed at the 1000 rate. 
PLEASE NOTE [If your order should total 900 cuttings (for example: 100 each of 
9 varieties at $3.50, total is $31.50) while if 1000 are ordered, the 
thousand rate ($32.50) would apply. This point should be watched in figuring your order so 
that you may have advantage of the thousand rate on the entire order. WATCH THIS. 
If order is wanted C.O.D. be sure to enclose check for at least 50% of the amount.
