Parcel Post: We can send your orders by parcel post if you 
prefer, where there is no express office nearby. In shipping 
bundles, it is economical for you to pay the postage in ad- 
vance, thus saving the 15 cents (C.O.D.) fee collected by the 
Post Office Department on delivery. We have arranged a 
schedule for you at right, so you can see approximately what 
the charge will be and in what section you are located. (After 
your order is shipped and if we find you have sent too much 
money, we will refund same to you at once.) However, if you 
should prefer to have your stock sent C.O.D. for postage 
charges, we will be glad to send it to you in that manner. If 
parcel post shipment is requested and shipping charges not 
included, we naturally assume that you want plants shipped 
C.O.D. for the postage. 
Express: We recommend Express shipments because the ex- 
press rates have been reduced. Shipments take the second 
class rate and are sent collect for the exact amount ot the 
shipping charges. This is the fairest way for you pay only 
the exact amount on your package, 
Generally all shade and fruit trees, and large quantities of 
stock must be sent by Express. Over one hundred rasp- 
beries, one-year plants, 50 raspberries, 2-yr. plants, over 5 
fruit trees would go cheaper by express, especially on long 
distance shipments. We have worked out this plan of ship- 
ping to be the best way for you, with the least cost to you. 
Freight: Freight can be used when orders call for several 
hundred fruit trees or several thousand cane plants, and are 
to be shipped during early March or April. 
Strawberry Plants Are Never Shipped By Freight: If un- 
decided as to how to have your order sent, just give us your 
post office and nearest shipping point and we will route the 
cheapest and safest way. 
Your Remittance: Send a postal or express money order if 
possible; cash should be sent by registered mail, for we will 
not be responsible for loss if mailed in the ordinary manner. 
Personal checks will be accepted. 
Prices in this catalog are good only for the spring and fall 
SHIPPING RATES AND INSTRUCTIONS
