Localities where cold weather is not a per- 
manent thing, shipments are made as soon as

orders for small plants. These can be sent by 
Parcel Post, if sufficient remittance on cash

Special Attention 
Notice: On receiving plants, unpack 
them, plant and water thoroughly imme- 
diately. If they cannot be planted at once, 
at least unpack and water them. Newly 
planted stock, no matter how moist it may 
appear, should at planting-time and every 
day (in the evening) for a week thereafter, 
be watered thoroughly, unless we have rain 
each day during the period. Most losses, 
through Plants, Shrubs, Trees, Hedges, etc., 
dying, are caused by their not being wa- 
tered sufficiently and regularly at planting- 
time. 

Special Notice on Guarantee 
We spare no effort to supply all Plants, 
Trees, etc., of the best quality. The many 
causes beyond our control does not permit us 
to guarantee this stock. That is entirely within 
the power of the buyer or planter.
