Spring and Summer Plants 
MAY Ist, 1948 

A cool, pleasant spot on a warm summer day. 
For over fifty years we have been supplying the needs of countless thousands of persons in 
this great Upper Midwest territory. 
In issuing the 1948 Spring and Summer Plant catalog we again wish to say that our constant 
endeavor is to offer as complete a list of the better varieties of plants as possible. 
Most of the plants have been grown in pot where they have developed good roots. They 
can be transplanted to the garden with a good start over seedlings or plants grown directly from 
seed. 
ORDERING AND TIME OF SHIPPING 
We urge ordering plant stock early in order to avoid disappointment. We grow very large 
quantities of nearly every kind, but cannot anticipate unusual demands on all kinds. We reserve 
the right to substitute equally good varieties if sold out of those ordered, unless otherwise instructed. 
All plants are ready for shipment about May 15th unless otherwise noted. 
In ordering please indicate how you wish orders shipped, whether by Express, Parcel Post, 
or Freight. When not so advised we will use our best judgment. Regret we can’t accept orders 
for shipment by truck. 
Six or more plants of one variety will be furnished at the dozen price; 50 or more at the 
hundred rate. 
PACKING CHARGES 
All bedding plants will be knocked out of pots and carefully wrapped in paper; this reduces 
weight and cost of transportation. Bedding plants shipped in clay or paper pots are 5% ad- 
ditional to the price listed in catalog. 
IMPORTANT: On all orders that are shipped, unless noted to the contrary, we have 
been compelled to charge 10% additional (minimum 50c) on each shipment.
