State Inspected Roots 
We ship roots that have been inspected and all out of 
the state orders will be accompanied by a certificate of 
inspection. 
Growers and Dealers 
Ask for our Special Lists but use your business card or 
letterhead when request is made by mail. No special plant 
or cutting list in 1947.

ORDER EARLY—As orders are filled in rotation—field-grown 
roots—ordering early will insure the reservation of varie- 
ties that later may be sold out. Orders are filled with 
varieties called for, and unless substitution is asked, I 
never substitute only on late orders for collections of 
cheap roots. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT — Unless otherwise requested, tubers 
will be shipped between April 15th and May lst, by 
express or insured mail, at my expense, any place in the 
United States (except States west of the Rocky Mountains) 
on all orders over $2.00. Orders under $2.00 add 15c to cover 
postage and packing. On all orders from western states men- 
tioned, add 2c to price of each root to cover extra cost. In 
cold weather roots shipped express only. Orders from U. S. 
possessions outside U. S. add 5% extra for postage and 
packing needed. 
ORDERS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES must be accom- 
panied by all the necessary import blanks and permit from 
your Dept. of Agriculture. Also add for extra postage and 
special packing needed. 
TERMS—Cash with order unless parties are known to me. 
No goods sent C. O. D. We will hold your order for you 
if a deposit of 25 percent is made, balance to be remitted 
before shipment is made. 
REMITTANCES should be made by bank draft, express or 
postoffice money order or registered letter. Postage stamps 
accepted up to $2.00. Coin should not be sent by letter 
unless registered. Please send 5c, 10c, 15¢ and 20c stamps. 
ERRORS—While my system for handling orders is as near 
perfect as possible, yet in the rush of business, errors are 
possible to occur, and I wish to be promptly notified of 
such and will at once make satisfactory adjustment. Make 
all complaints to me, not to your friends, as we aim to 
please. 
NAME AND ADDRESS — Remember to write your Name, 
Postoffice, County and State, also give zone and Street 
Number or P. O. Box as plainly as possible. 
Rooted Cuttings: 
We sell rooted cuttings of many varieties I grow plants 
of. Unless you are an experienced plantgrower, we do not 
advise the purchase of rooted cuttings. Ask for prices. 
Rooted cuttings are sold only on the basis of safe delivery 
and good cuttings and our responsibility ceases there. If 
purchased, they should be potted soon as received in 3 or
