Business Terms 
Please do not send cash or stamps as cash is apt to get lost in the mails. 
I cannot 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 competitors 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. 
Rhododendrons and tree roses as well as weeping trees will be sent ex- 
press charges collect—although there will be no packing or crating charges. 
These items are not mailable. 
DISCOUNTS 
POSITIVELY NO DEALER 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% of on $50.00 and over. No discount will be 
allowed on patent roses other than dozen rate allowed by patent owners. No 
discount 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 dis- 
countable 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, Rhododen- 
drons, etc., cannot be used in figuring discounts because they have to be 
handled entirely separate and it is the handling cost that earns discounts. 
Substitutions—When I run short of rose varieties late in the season, I 
will substitute where I have something very similar. 
Shipping Season—I will not ship until roses are in proper condition re- 
gardless of what some other grower does. Also, all orders will be shipped in 
Sequence of order received except 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 lst as 
earlier planting may start growth and then there would be winter damage. I 
will attempt to start shipping about November 5 this vear 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?
