Please Note 
Prices. All prices herein are strictly net, to the trade 
only and for goods at our nursery unless otherwise 
stated. This list means what it says both as to prices 
and terms, and we do not deviate from them. 
Pots. Prices of pot-grown stock do not include the 
clay pots and unless otherwise instructed, plants will 
be shipped without them. If wanted in the pots, they 
will be charged for at cost, but may be returned and 
full credit will be given. 
Specimens. Prices herein are for average good plants 
but selected specimens will be charged for extra at 
actual value. 
Terms. To buyers of known or established credit, 
60 days net from date of invoice. Otherwise cash with 
order or 25% with order, balance C.0.D. No “cash dis- 
count.” 
Grading. Plants wider than tall are graded by width. 
Packing. At cost as usual, including paper pots if 
used. Plants will be packed to secure the lowest possible 
classification consistent with the nature of the goods 
shipped. 
Shipping. Our responsibility ceases when goods are 
delivered to transportation company in good order. 
They travel at buyer’s risk. Please state distinctly 
whether you wish goods shipped by freight, express or 
truck line. 
Complaints. Must be made in writing within 10 days 
after buyer receives the goods. 
EXPLANATION OF HARDINESS RATINGS 
As this list goes all over the U. S. A. and also abroad, 
we believe it a good idea to indicate hardiness. This has 
been done by giving after the name of each item a 
number in ( ) indicating the zone up to which it is con- 
sidered hardy. 
Our authority through Zone 7 is Rehder’s Handbook. 
For Zones 8 to 10 we have been guided by Pacific Coast 
experience and have subdivided Zone 9 so that 
(9) indicates probably safe to 20° (Sacramento and 
San Joaquin Valleys, etc). 
(9%) indicates probably safe to 25° or 26° (San Fran- 
cisco Bay Region, etc.). 
(10) indicates will stand only very light frost. 
To find the zone you are in refer to map on center 
pages of this book, which we use by the courtesy of 
Arnold Arboretum and McGraw-Hill Book Co. 
We hope this innovation will be helpful to nursery- 
men all over the country. Please understand that rat- 
ings show our honest opinion, but we disclaim all re- 
sponsibility for their correctness. 
POT GROWN AND GALLON CAN STOCK— 
We find that many customers, especially those at a 
distance, prefer to have us remove soil and ship “bare 
roots” packed in moss. If you order any of this class of 
material please be sure to say whether you want it 
packed with or without soil on the roots. 
California nurserymen will please note that 4-in. pot 
stock in body of list can usually be transferred at once 
to gallon cans for immediate sale, while the smaller 
sizes for growing on, together with 2% and 3-in. pot 
stock, can be found at the end of list.
