Method of Delivery 
Perennials from the field will be shipped by parcels 
post or express. Each shipment is weighed and the 
postage and express are calculated, and shipment is 
made by the method appearing most economical for 
you. 
Plants in bands or pots will be delivered by our 
trucks, so far as it is praticable. In the spring ’50 
season about 95% of our merchandise was delivered 
by our own trucks or by hired trucks. Deliveries 
were made to the New England States, and state- 
wide over the states of New York, New Jersey, Penn- 
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the north- 
ern and eastern parts of West Virginia, and the 
eastern half of Ohio. 
Most forms of transportation are either too costly or 
too slow; and all are pretty rough on plants in less 
than carload lots. So we have made it a practice to 
deliver shipments of 1000 banded plants or more, 
whenever it is possible. Even if your order is for 
less than 1000 plants in bands, if you are located so 
that we can group your shipment with others, truck 
delivery will be made. Our charges for delivery will 
be reasonable, and your plants will be handled care- 
fully by experienced men. 
Lots which cannot be handled by our trucks will be 
forwarded by Motor Express, Parcels Post, or Rail- 
way Express - whichever appears most advanta- 
geous for you.
