Spring and Summer Plants 
MAY Ist, 1945 
Listed on the following pages will be found all varieties of the so-called ‘““Summer Bedding” 
plants, especially Annuals. A large variety of potted Perennials and Hardy Chrysanthemums 1s 
offered as well. 
Gardens are planted for the pleasure and enjoyment to be derived from them. Potted plants 
with good root systems are farther advanced and will bloom earlier than the ordinary weak seed- 
lings so generally offered. 
ORDERING AND TIME OF SHIPPING 
We urge ordering plant stock early in order to avoid disappointment. We grow very large 
quantities of nearly every kind, but cannot anticipate unusual demands on all kinds. 
Unless definitely instructed otherwise, we will use our best judgment in sending orders at 
proper time, depending on weather conditions and forecasts. 
In ordering please indicate how you wish orders shipped, whether by Parcel Post, Express, 
Truck or Freight. When not so advised we will use our best judgment. 
All plants are ready for shipment about May 15th unless otherwise noted. 
PACKING CHARGES 
All bedding plants will be knocked out of pots and carefully wrapped in paper; this reduces 
weight and cost of transportation. Plants packed in this manner are subject to a reduced ex- 
PLESSetbaces 
Bedding plants shipped IN POTS require special packing and more packing material. To 
cover this an additional cost of 10% will be charged. 
For plants sent in paper pots an additional charge of 5% will be made. 
To pack and ship plants properly requires skilled labor, as well as boxes and packing ma- 
terial. Because of this cost, we are obliged to make an extra charge for packing SMALL orders, 
except where items are offered prepaid to destination. 
On all orders amounting to $1.50 or more there is no packing charge. Order amounting to 
LESS than $1.50 a packing charge of 10c to 25c, depending on size of package, will be made.
