Instructions: To determine the freight charges 
on a shipment weighing 175 lbs. from Niles to 
Bakersfield, for example, multiply the weight 
(175 lbs.) by the rate per 100 lbs. ($.95) and 
divide the answer by 100. To this figure ($1.66) 
add $.05 tax. 
WE PAY the postage on all shipments of Bulbs and 
bare root Roses to any point in the United States. WE 
DO NOT PAY the postage, express or freight charges 
on Ornamental plants. If you wish to have a shipment 
prepaid, please consult the information at the bottom 
of this page and add charges to your remittance for 
plants. Refunds or surplus will be made after paying 
charges.
