New Transportation Allowance 
Beyond 20 Miles 
For the first time, we offer a plan whereby you 
benefit from a transportation allowance on all orders 
of $2.50 or more to be shipped beyond our local 
20 mile free delivery area. The allowance is at the 
rate of 40c. per 100 pounds on the total weight of the 
shipment. Shipment will be made by freight or ex- 
press, as you instruct us, charges to be collected on 
delivery—but we will share the cost of this trans- 
portation by deducting an amount equivalent to 
40c. per 100 pounds when billing you for the order. 
On cash orders, you may deduct this amount if you 
can estimate the weight, or send the full amount and 
we will promptly refund the amount of the trans- 
portation allowance after shipment. 
Orders under $2.50, for items other than those 
listed above as prepaid anywhere in the U.S. A., are 
forwarded at purchaser’s expense by Express or Par- 
cel Post. If you select Parcel Post delivery, please 
remit the proper amount to cover postage as indi- 
cated by Parcel Post zone scale on this page. 
PRICES—All our prices conform with the O.P.A. price ceiling regulations 
where such regulations are applicable. Our prices are net with no dis- 
counts, subject to change without notice and subject to stock on hand 
being unsold when your order is received. 
ORDER BLANKS—For the convenience of our customers who, under 
war conditions, are now ordering more often than usual by mail, we are 
this year supplying Two Order Blanks. Please use them when possible. 
They will help to expedite your orders when they reach us. 
REMITTANCES—Currency must be sent Registered Mail. We assume 
no responsibility when money is sent unregistered. We recommend the 
use of Postal Money Orders or Bank Checks. 
APPARENT SHORTAGES—Please open all packages before reporting 
shortages. We sometimes enclose small packages in larger bags of fer- 
tilizer or seed. Often we are unable to ship all items ordered at one time 
as, for instance, Onion Sets, Asparagus Roots, Roses, etc., with seeds. 
We notify our customers by mail promptly of these incomplete shipments. 
Watch for these notices before writing.

Special Notice on Plants and 
Nursery Stock 
Trees, Shrubs, Annual Bedding Plants, and other 
Plants, including Roses, are not shipped from our 
Boston Warehouse but are handled as entirely sepa- 
rate orders at our Nursery Shipping Departments in 
Lexington and North Abington, Massachusetts. 
Except for the special Plant Collections priced 
postpaid, and orders for 3 or more dormant Roses, 
all such Nursery items are shipped at customer’s 
expense, charges collect on delivery. On small or- 
ders, where the weight or type of material does not 
warrant express shipment (35c. is the minimum Ex- 
press Co. charge), we will ship by Parcel Post if a 
reasonable amount is included for postage. 
Because they must be handled separately all or- 
ders for plants totaling less than $1.50 (except Post- 
paid Special Offers) will carry a handling charge of 
25c. even if such plants are part of a larger mixed 
order. On such orders, when this handling charge is 
included, we will prepay Parcel Post but not 
Express charges. 
Shipments of plants are made direct to your home 
address—not to our Boston stores nor to other 
“will call’’ points. 
Because living plants are so perishable, we posi- 
tively cannot accept C.O.D. orders. 
MAILING LIST—Please write us of any change in your permanent home 
address. This is very important to you and to us for mailing the various 
catalogues and folders which we publish.
