Tips and Pointers on 
Ordering 
There will be very many scarce items for the 
1945 season. Chief among these are Rose 
Bushes, Lilies and Gladiolus. In fact all bulbous 
items can be marked as scarce. For this reason 
we advise you to place your orders for these 
items as early as possible. Also, allow us the 
privilege of substitution on such items as Gladi- 
olus and Roses, and state so on your order 
for much valuable time is lost in cross-corres- 
pondence, and many disappointments ensue in 
the delay. 
In ordering small quantities of perennial 
plants in which transportation is paid by the 
purchaser, use your judgment in including 
postage. This will eliminate the necessity of 
our sending small plant shipments by express 
on which the minimum charge is 46c. Twenty 
to twenty-five cents will cover most parcel post 
shipments on an order of three plants. 
It is always advisable to include special 
instructions or requests for information ona 
separate sheet of paper. The order sheet 
should be used for ordering only. This will 
facilitate the shipping of your order. 
Again allow us to request your kind indulg- 
ence and patience in the filling of your orders.

RESERVE THE MOST TREASURED CORNER OF 
YOUR GARDEN FOR SOME OF MAX SCHLING/S 
SEEDS AND BULBS 
Max Schling’s Famous 
MAXIMA GRASS SEED 
MIXTURES 
There is no single item that we offer 
which we can sell with greater pride and 
confidence than our famous Maxima 
Lawn Mixtures, inasmuch as lawn seed 
is one of the few items that is definitely 
not “‘a blind article’ in view of the fact 
that the formula and germination must 
by law accompany each package of grass 
seed that is sold. We will be very glad 
to submit our formula to any prospective 
purchaser and welcome comparison with 
any lawn seed offered at a comparable 
price. In the face of growing scarcities 
we do not know how long we will be able 
to maintain the superlative high quality 
of our mixtures, but we are glad to state 
that we have a very strong supply on 
hand, 
Do not invest your time and energies 
in attempting to develop a fine lawn 
from inferior grass seed mixtures unless 
you are one of those who feel that it is 
a normal procedure to remake your lawn 
every year. If you want a permanent, 
evergreen, tough, weed resistant lawn 
that will be your pride and joy, purchase 
our Maxima Special Lawn Mixtures with 
assurance:
