BUSINESS TERMS 
Please do not send cash or stamps as cash is apt to get lost in the mails. I can- 
not handle stamps. Often a bank draft is cheaper than a Post Office money order, 
Your personal check is acceptable. 
PAYMENT — ROSES PREPAID 
I will not accept any order unless accompanied with at least a deposit of 50%. 
For those who feel they must have billing I suggest that they try some of my com- 
petitors who will be glad to oblige. 5% extra for cities or states where billing is 
necessitated. No order accepted for less than payment of $3.00 at time of ordering. 
NO PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED 
All orders of bush and climbing roses and tulips will be prepaid. Little trees of 
Nigger Boy—Mrs. DuPont—Lulu will also be sent prepaid. 
Rhododendrons and tree roses as well as weeping trees will be sent express charges 
collect—although there will be no packing or crating charges. These items are not 
mailable. 
DISCOUNTS 
Will not be allowed on orders where there are more than 15 varieties unless they 
average three plants of a variety. 
15% off on $20.00 to $50.00—20% off on $50.00 and over. No discount will be 
allowed on patent roses other than the dozen rate allowed by patent owners. No dis- 
count will be allowed on combination orders of such as rhododendrons, tulips, my 
book, tree roses or special offers such as the Nigger Boy or other Poly. groups or the 
second grade dozens. 
You may take discounts on discountable items where the total order amounts to the 
15% or 20% minimum; thus if your order has even one discountable item in the 
$20.00 order you deduct it. You must have $20.00 worth of bush or climbing roses 
before taking discount, Tree Roses, Rhododendrons, etc., cannot be used in figuring dis- 
counts because they have to be handled entirely separately and it is the handling cost 
that earns discounts. 
Substitutions—When I run short of rose varieties late in the season, I will sub- 
stitute where I have something very similar, but I will not do so with Rhododendrons 
unless especially instructed to do so. 
Shipping Season—I will not ship until roses are in proper condition regardless of 
what some other grower does. Also, all orders will be shipped in sequence of order 
received excépt that I ship northern and Canadian border states first along with the 
high areas, then the middle states. Shipping will not start in western Oregon and 
Washington until around December 1st as earlier planting may start growth and then 
there would be winter damage. I will attempt to start shipping about November 5 this 
year to the coldest sections first. 
Hereafter, all orders must be through the mails. No deliveries of rose plants will 
be made at the nursery. This is necessitated by the volume that must be handled— 
further, it is not fair to deliver to some gate crasher when I have accepted money 
several months before from someone else. Who likes to stand in line and then have 
someone crowd in ahead of him? 
Also, were Ito start delivering at the nursery it would cost me much more. With 
labor at 90c per hour I cannot afford to—also, a color catalog would cost each buying 
customer $1.50 more, figuring the usual five catalogs to a buyer. A fine color catalog 
would cost about 35c...do not underestimate that volume cannot change this basic factor..
