Important Information 
NOTICE—We endeavor to send out the very best quality of bulbs, 
seeds, plants and cuttings, and do our utmost to assure you of stock 
true to name. 
We recommend that shipments go by express, except very small 
shipments which can be readily mailed. Claims cannot be collected 
when cuttings are shipped through the mail, hence we recommend 
express, because a claim can be entered for damages through de- 
lay, etc. We mail small quantities only in cool weather as it is 
unsatisfactory to mail cuttings when the warm weather sets in. 
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES—You must enter a claim against the 
express company immediately. According to law the transportation 
companies are the agents of the buyer, and when goods are de- 
livered to and accepted by such agencies the shipper’s responsi- 
bility ceases. We will, however, gladly assist you in making your 
claim if you advise us.

days from invoice date. Sixty days net.

ment, at time of delivery, unless otherwise specified by

First-class stock is carefully packed when shipment is 
made, and we hold good order receipt from the trans-

If the stock reaches you in bad condition, notify agent

age by their negligence, as no allowance for this cause 
can or will be made by us. 
Bulbs, whether shipped on arrival or placed in cold 
storage for later delivery, may be examined at time of
