PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
Shipping Information and Terms, Etc. 
TERMS.—Cash only. Send postoffice or express money order, bank draft, cash or 
check. Orders will be sent C.O.D. on receipt of one-half total amount of order. On 
orders of less than $2.00 there will be a nuisance charge of 25c in addition to the mailing, 
insurance and handling charge of 35c. 
Orders from cities, states, etc., that require billing or other special labor requiring 
practices will have to pay 5% over catalog prices unless the order amounts to over $50.00. 
In any event notarizing will be charged for. 
DISCOUNTS.— Quantity discounts only, no dealer discounts. 
10% on all orders from $10.00 to $20.00 
15% on all orders from $20.00 to $50.00 
20% on all orders from $50.00 up. 
SHIPPING CHARGES.—AII rose plants will be sent express collect unless we are 
advised otherwise. All express shipments are fully insured. Parcel post shipments are 
not insured unless additional fee is paid. Shipping charges remitted us which prove 
insufficient in amount will be applied on your charges and remainder will be collected 
on delivery of your roses. Minimum shipping charge will be 35c. This will be for either 
express or mailing and will cover insurance and handling charges. There will be some 
rose plants shipped this fall, depending on the amount of labor I am able to secure, so I 
will ship as many as possible (frost conditions taken into consideration). These will be 
shipped absolutely in sequence as to mailing date of order. Frost belt shipments first. 
As I haven’t taken any local orders before catalog was issued all my customers will have, 
an even break. 
NO DISCOUNTS can be given on patented roses, except for the dozen rates, which 
are 10 times the price of each plant, as: 12 rose bushes @ $1.00 each—$10.00. When- 
ever you see the patent number following the description of a rose you may calculate any 
quantity from and including six bushes, at this rate. Dozen rates may not be taken on 
less than six patented roses of ONE VARIETY. 
IMPORTANT NOTE.—No more than 10% discount may be taken if varieties num- 
ber 18 or more unless the order averages at least three rose bushes of each variety. 
PLEASE STATE when ordering whether substitutions will be allowed. Name sub- 
stitutions permitted, or leave the selection to me. I always substitute greatly similar 
varieties, and often more costly varieties when this makes the nearest substitution. 
SHIPPING SEASON starts about November 1 for Eastern orders; local orders, about 
November 15, filled in rotation as of date booked. However, because of war conditions 
and shortage of labor I can make no guarantees as to delivery date. I will not ship them 
to any sections when ground is too hard to plant; to be shipped out in early spring on 
same day your notification is received. I guarantee the latter procedure to give you rose 
bushes in finest condition for planting, with no deterioration. (See planting instructions 
for conditions under which roses may be planted.) 
All patented roses listed in this catalogue are being sold under license from the patent 
owner. 
REPLACEMENTS 
I am going to make a change in my policy of replacing rose bushes. Heretofore J 
have devoted every ounce of energy to producing the finest and strongest rose bushes in 
the United States, and on top of that have amiably replaced without question any that 
failed to perform properly. This has been an unwitting injustice to many rose growers, 
as they were then careless with the plants, knowing there were “more where these came 
from,’ and free, too.
