Orders will be shipped when plants are ready and, depending on the stock, that will

PLEASE GIVE A SECOND CHOICE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. 
For years we have successfully shipped to distant places. In 1949 many thousands of 
plants—expertly packed—left our nursery and safely reached customers in many states, as 
far from Palo Alto as Maine and Florida, also Canada, the Canal Zone, the Territory of Hawaii 
and New Zealand. 
Last year we enlarged our growing facilities by erecting two glasshouses and this year 
we are adding an office, storage rooms and a modern lathhouse—all to get out more plants. 
But the demand for our specialties continues to increase, too, and so we always seem to be 
short of stock, particularly in early spring. This year, as in past years, we had to return many 
late orders (including good sized checks). So we urge you to GET YOUR ORDER IN EARLY, 
as we file and ship them in rotation as per dates received.

Year, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
