SHIPPING CHARGES.—AII rose plants will be sent express collect unless advised

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—If there are 18 or more varieties in order no discount will 
be allowed unless varieties average 3 plants 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 very similar 
varieties, and often more costly varieties when this makes the nearest substitution. 
SHIPPING SEASON starts about November 1 for Eastern orders; local orders, 
December 1, filled in rotation as of date booked. I will not ship them to any sec- 
tions 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 offered in this catalog are with the consent and permission of the 
patent owners, even though I grow them.
