With each order ship- 
ped we enclose a copy of 
“Krider’s Planting Point- 
ers.” This helpful folder 
will give you much assist- 
ance in properly planting 
and caring for your 
plants. 
PLEASE NOTE 
The earlier you get your order in to us the better. This enables us to 
take care of the necessary clerical work on orders during the winter 
before the rush of the spring shipping season. This amounts to a sav- 
ing with us and we are glad to show our appreciation by allowing you 
to select GIFTS. 
Remember these gifts apply only to cash orders of $10.00 or over, 
and your order must be postmarked March 15th or before. Free stock 
must be listed and sent in with your original order as it is impossible 
for us to hunt out orders and attach lists of free stock after orders are 
filed for shipping. Any orders listing free items which are postmarked 
after March 15th will be shipped without free stock. In the past we 
have been rather !enient on this matter, but shortages of stock and 
labor conditions make it necessary that we hold to the March 15th 
deadline. The premiums are given for early orders and those coming 
in when the shipping season has opened cannot be classified as early 
orders. Free stock may be selected from any items in this book.
