INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
PACKING. No charges made for packing retail or- 
ders going to any part of the United States. We pack 
stock as lightly as possible, consistent, of course, with 
the distance it must travel. We assume no responsi- 
bility for the safe arrival of goods after they have 
been accepted by the carriers and found to be in 
good order. 
INSPECTION. Points of terminal inspection in sev- 
eral counties have been recently reduced in numbers, 
which may cause some delays in the deliveries of 
shipments. If the nearest point of inspection is men- 
tioned in ordering we will gladly make shipment in 
care of your agricultural inspector with instructions to 
re-forward after inspection. This will greatly expedite 
delivery. 
ERRORS. If any mistakes are made in filling orders 
we will cheerfully rectify them, but must respectfully 
request our customers to notify us within ten days after 
receipt of the goods. 


Save 10% on orders amounting to 
$5.00 or more, paid for and taken 
with you from Niles or any of our 
branches. 

PRICES. Unless otherwise noted are for stock de- 
livered at our nearest postoffice, express or freight 
depot. Prices are subject to change without notice. 
WE PAY the postage on all shipments of Bulbs and 
bare root Roses sent to points in California. WE DO 
NOT PAY the postage, express or freight charges on 
Ornamental plants, Fruit Trees, Grapevines, Berry and 
Vegetable plants shipped to any point, nor on Roses 
and Bulbs shipped out-of-state. If you wish to have a 
shipment prepaid, please consult the information at 
the bottom of this page and add charges to your re- 
mittance for plants. Refunds of surplus will be made 
after paying charges. 
REMITTANCES. All of our stock is sold for cash 
unless other arrangements are made. Please do not 
ask us to charge orders amounting to less than $10.00. 
We are handling a larger number of orders with fewer 
experienced people. It is to your advantage to pay 
cash (see left) and you will be doing us a real favor. 
No order will be sent C.O.D. unless accompanied by 
one-quarter the amount of the order. On maii orders 
for less than $1.00 a 50c handling charge will be made. 
SALES TAX. When remitting, customers must add 
to their orders the 22% California Sales Tax for all 
shipments destined for California. A schedule of sales 
tax for various amounts is given on page C in this 
insert. 
METHODS OF SHIPPING 
In general, the’ best method of shipping the several 
types of nursery stock are as follows: 
PARCEL POST: All orders for Bulbs, Bush and 
Climbing Roses, Berry and Vegetable Plants, Grape- 
vines and orders for six or less Fruit Trees (which may 
include some or all of the preceding items). 
EXPRESS: All orders for Fruit Trees (exceeding six 
trees) and Ornamental Plants weighing less than 50 
pounds. See the tables of weights and transportation

unpruned fruit trees, deciduous ornamentals exceeding 
3-4 feet, ornamentals balled and burlapped or con- 
tainer-grown plants by parcel post even though de- 
livery by mail is your only ‘‘door-to-door” service.
