W 
Cho Shes! Shee Plant! 
The best time to transplant all plant material of definite hardiness is in the autumn. At this time 
of year weather and soil conditions are usually better than early spring. Little winter protection is re- 
quired other than a light covering of hay or straw .. . Do not stop your garden operations because of 
the first light frost in the autumn. It is a help rather than a hindrance. 
We ship no plants or bulbs except at the season when they will grow best. This may mean two or 
more shipments to you—typical of the kind of service we render you. Place your Order now and let us 
assume all responsibility of shipping dates.

Best Served are Those Who Order Carly 
Order Now—We Ship at Planting Time 
All orders are filled in the order of their receipt by us and are shipped at planting time. The reasons 
for this are obvious to you and it means that those who order early have a distinct advantage over 
those who wait until the last minute. Towards the end of the season many varieties are sold out. 
Ordering now gives us sufficient advance notice of your requirements, enabling us to determine the 
kind and quantity of stocks we must have on hand. Only through such advance knowledge could we 
possibly hope to fill the enormous number of orders which annually pour in upon us from our thou- 
sands of customers. In fact, it is not always possible to fill all orders which arrive too late as our stocks 
are frequently exhausted in the filling of orders for those who had the foresight to order early. 
The seasons, (as Shakespeare said of Time and Tide), wait on no man. For this reason the nursery 
business is a most exacting one where Nature, in the final analysis, is the only real Master. No other 
business is so subject to the whims and moods of the seasons and to the caprice of climate as is a nurs- 
ery serving customers in all parts of the country .. . This means that in no other business is such a high 
degree of co-operation essential as that which must exist between customer and nursery. Won’‘t you 
please continue this same splendid co-operation by sending in your order today? 
Concerning Cultural Instructions 
The U S. A. is a large country with widely varying climatic conditions. 
Within the states and counties the composition of the soil varies even more widely. 
The cultural instructions given in this catalog are a guide in the right direction. Our advice on win- 
ter protection as well as summer care of plants should always be adjusted to meet extreme local con- 
ditions. 
Gardening practices in Augusta, Georgia, could hardly be the same as those in Augusta, Maine.
