Special Delivery, parcel post, transports the young plants to the 
most distant points in the country within 5 days and they are delivered 
to your door crisp and fresh. On orders of 100 seedlings or more we 
pay Special Delivery costs. When ordering less than 100, please in- 
clude 25c extra postage if this additional protection is desired. Special 
Delivery orders are guaranteed anywhere in the U.S. Expert packing 
is always guaranteed and without cost. 
If the transplants arrive in unusually hot and unfavor- 
able weather, plant in a box of wet sawdust and keep well 
watered and shaded and root growth will continue. Lack- 
ing sawdust, use peat, or heel them in temporarily in the 
coolest, shadiest spot and keep watered. After planting to 
permanent quarters keep soil well watered at all times and 
plants shaded until established. 
All seedlings are from hand-pollinated seed and are sold in separate 
color series as listed, assortments made to order from these series, or 
a general mixture. It is impossible to guarantee all seedlings true to 
color due to stray seeds or occasional throw-backs. The majority, if 
not all, will be true to description.
