NOT NEW AT ALL -- “Just Fine and Mighty Worth While” 

“Just Fine and Mighty Worth While,” described the plants 
on this page most aptly. They are all things you will like and 
find mighty useful in your garden. 
Plants with silvery or grey foliage are interesting in them- 
selves and as I have always found them useful as contrast 
between other plants both in the rock garden and border, I 
feel that you may appreciate such a list and here it is. All 
drouth resistant too.

PLEASE! 
Do add 25 cents to help with postage and packing if you 
order plants for $1 or less (this does not apply to seeds and 
bulbs). I have often seen the time I could not spend a dollar 
for plants or did not have room for more but did want one or 
two and for this reason I cheerfully fill small orders but those 
under $1 are filled at a loss of 25c or more. 
Do not order less than 8, all one variety, at three rate or less 
than six of one variety at dozen rate. Assortments at these 
rates not permitted. 
Do name some alternates to be sent in case some item on your 
order is sold out. It saves us much time of sending refunds 
or writing and greatly hastens shipment of your order. 
California law requires that 244% Retail Sales Tax be paid 
on every purchase. Please add 244% to your order before mak- 
ing remittance. If omitted we must tell you about it before 
shipping order. Applies to California orders only.
