PLEASE NOTE — When ordering please write NAME and ADDRESS plainly, 
also state date delivery is desired. It is better not to have roots delivered until 
you are ready to use them. As the stock of some varieties is limited and the 
demand this year is heavy, it is well to name some second choices. We do not 
substitute without permission. All shipments prior to April Ist, except on the 
Pacific Coast, are sent by Express Collect to insure against freezing. We do not 
sell green plants. Prices listed are for strong field-grown root divisions. Where 
air-mail delivery is requested, unless remittance includes the extra charge for 
this service, request will not be complied with. 
TERMS — CASH WITH ORDER or before date of shipment. On retail orders 
for California delivery 2!/,% Sales Tax should be added to the amount to com- 
ply with the Sales Tax Law. We guarantee that all roots sent are true to name 
and in good growing condition, but beyond this assume no responsibility. All 
orders are accepted with this provision.
