ORDERING IS EASY 
YOUR PROTECTION 
We grow only selected kinds of hardy plants, the best of both old 
and new. Our collection is recognized as one of the finest in the country. 
This permits you to choose from many distinctive species and varieties, 
many of which are not available from other firms. Our stock is grown 
at our gardens and is exposed to the Summer heat and the Winter cold, 
snow, and iain. These plants average larger than ordinary nursery 
stock and with normal care should bloom within a year. They are care- 
fully wrapped and packed to reach you in good condition at the proper 
planting time for your locality. We customarily leave more soil around 
the roots than most nurseries. 
We guarantee our plants to be clean, true to name, and of excellent 
-quality. We shal! replace any plants which do not fulfill the above 
conditions or reftsnd your original purchase price if you notify us 
within five days of receipt of your shipment. We further guarantee our 
stock to reach you safely.* For your protection all Express and the more 
valuable Parcel Post shipments are insured. If an insured shipment is 
lost or the plants arrive dead, you must file a claim with the proper 
authorities immediately. We are not responsible for damage to such 
insured shipments after they are delivered to the forwarding agencies. 
However, we shall replace or refund your purchase price for any unin- 
sured Parcel Post shipment which is lost or in which the plants arrive 
dead, if you notify us within five days. Of course, our responsibility 
ends when we have fulfilled the conditions of our guarantee. Successful 
culture of the plants we send is your responsibility. In all cases our 
liability shall be limited to the amount of the original purchase and we 
accept orders only under these conditions. 
PACKING AND SHIPPING 
There is no additional charge for wrapping, packing, and trans- 
portation, except for foreign orders or for higher priced sizes of plants 
than those listed in our catalog. In such cases, you are billed at cost. 
We use an individual and superior packing method which is time con- 
suming and expensive but it protects your plants en route and insures 
safe delivery. Large parcels are usually forwarded by Express and small 
ones by Parcel Post. In order to save you expense and ourselves extra 
time and office work, we do not ship C.O.D. 
PRICES AND REMITTANCE 
The prices listed are per plant except where special prices for larger 
quantities are given! We pay all postage and insurance charges except 
on foreign orders. Other firms charge extra, we save you this expense. 
You are not bothered with sending us extra money when you receive your 
plants. This simple arrangement makes ordering from us rapid, easy 
and less expensive! 
It is more economical to dig and ship six or more plants of one kind 
than to handle six different kinds. We offer twelve plants of the same 
species or variety at ten times the price of one, or six plants at five 
times the price of ome. These quantity reductions apply to the prices 
of all plants including the prices of large sizes. 
Handling small orders is very expensive and impairs our service to 
you. Therefore, we do not accept orders for less than $3.00. Your 
remittance in full should accompany your order and will be acknowl- 
edged promptly. Remittance may be in any standard form. Please use 
the order blank and complete both sides. Your account is adjusted at 
the time your order is forwarded. 
Because of conditions beyond our control this guarantee does not apply to overseas shipments.
